39 weeks and 5 days...

39 weeks and 5 days pregnant with Owen Roger

And to compare...

39 weeks pregnant with Henry Mercer

I feel like the bellies are two different shapes, which makes sense since Henry was breech. I should have worn the same shirt for a more clear comparison!


How far along?
39 weeks and 5 days
Total weight gain/loss: Looks like a grand total of 42 ... three less than with Henry! Now - how am I going to lose this all, plus more in 6 weeks before a wedding that will have tons of people from high school at it? :)
Maternity clothes? Yuck!! Though, I might pick them over my husband's basketball shorts that I'm going to be living in the next couple of weeks...
Stretch marks? Why do the new ones always show up like 3 days before delivery?!?
Sleep: Awful. Just laying on my side, even supported with 7 pillows hurts me.
Best moment this week: Enjoying all my time with Henry - knowing it's going to be a challenge the next few weeks.
Movement: I'm ready to not feel like this baby is going to push an elbow through my girl parts at any moment.
Food cravings: Surprisingly, nothing really.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: Still contractions everyday, some mucus plug lost, but that's about it.
Belly Button in or out? Outtie out out
What I miss: Being able to hold and run and play with Henry
What I am looking forward to: Getting to the point of being comfortable taking care of both children on my own! (I know - a few weeks off I'm sure... or years?? haha)
Weekly Wisdom: "But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him."
Milestones: This is the start of my last 12 hours of pregnancy. Potentially ever.
Realization of the week: I'm having a baby tomorrow. Enough said.


Oh my, it still barely feels real. This has been the longest. pregnancy. ever. But now that our day is here - wowza. I don't know how I feel. Nervous and excited. Happy and sad.

How can I not be happy to add another handsome man to my life? :)
