Baby Bump Update

How far along: 39 weeks...what?! I'm one week from my due date.  Could this be my last bump post? I'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking:)

Size of baby: A watermelon, 6.5-9.5 pounds and 18 - 20 inches.  My guess is more 6.5-8 lbs right now.  Tomorrow I'm hoping my doctor will give me an estimate on the weight.

My body: Due to the size of my belly my ta-tas seem small but I know that they are larger than they have ever been and my bum seems very flat but I think that is also because my tummy is so large.  My mom has had no issue letting my know my bum looks bigger...in a nice way of course.

Movement: He rolls/stretches/punches all day long.  I have yet to feel the need to do the kick test because he moves every hour.

Symptoms: This will be more of labor signs from here on out but as of yet there are none:(  My doctor will be checking if I'm dilated at all tomorrow but I'm thinking I won't be.

Sleep: So awful.  The last couple of nights whatever side I'm sleeping on that rib feels like it's burning. So I pretty much have to rotate each side about every hour with some angled back sleeping.  I don't get sleepy during the day (I think I'm getting used to the lack of sleep) but I do think it makes it so I get exhausted easier when I'm doing things.

Cravings: Food is not really on the forefront of my mind so I wouldn't say that I have any cravings.  Still love my smoothies and fruit though.  Cereal has also been added to my morning routine.

What I'm looking forward to: Having this baby in my arms instead of my tummy!  My sisters and mom are getting ready for their visits and my call so I can't wait to see them all.

Baby Daddy: He is getting ready for Lucas's arrival also.  He pats my belly and and tells Lucas to be nice to me or to come on out already:)

Thoughts: I don't know why but it really bothers me when people assume that I am just sitting around resting.  Maybe that's better than assuming I'm getting a ton done and I'm actually sitting around but I'm getting stuff done!  Just because I'm not working doesn't mean I'm not working.  Every night Kevin and I put a list together of things I can get done the next day.  I am staying busy so when I get the "I'm sure you're just resting" comment or text I slightly freak out.  Yes, my mornings are a bit slower and start later and that's ok, 9.5 months pregnant over here!  I also really would like this baby to come and staying active helps that out, or so I've read.
