bump update: week 39

Welp, I'm officially 39w3d today and there is no sign of our baby boy in sight. I know that anything can happen at any given minute, but at this point my ob has brought up induction - how and when it would happen, etc. I continue to enjoy this pregnancy, am not sick of being pregnant and can patiently wait for our son to come whenever he's supossed to come. He'll be here within 1.5 weeks, regardless. I'm just dying to get the delivery over with! But until then, life goes on and I'm truly having a blast (with Bryan, our family and our friends) living out these last several days before becoming a Mommy.

Due Date: June 28, 2013 - THIS FRIDAY !!!

Gender: A sweet little mama's boy

Movement: Movement is so gigantic these days. He's as calm as can be from the time I wake up until around 8:00pm, then he's up and moving wildly well after I fall asleep. His movements are so large. I can feel his legs, knees and his bottom from the outside on my skin. This never has gotten to be "normal" to me... it's still super freaky, and although it's as natural as can be, it feels so unnatural to me!

Feeling: I'm feeling too good for a chick who's mere days away from giving birth, that's for sure! My energy is fine and I spend most of my days out and about. I'm doing my best to spend as much time as possible on my feet and walking, all while really taking it easy in the evenings. 

Food Cravings: Absolutely no cravings at all. My stomach is squished, so I get really full quickly. Although I want to stop eating after eating just half of a piece of pizza, I push through because I know my son needs the food. 

Food Aversions: v8, soup, salmon

Clothes: I'm still in a mix of maternity and non and am able to wear everything I've been wearing throughout my pregnancy, including my maternity jeans

Stretch Marks: None. Praise Jesus!

Sleep: Sleep is wonderful! I'm so used to sleep walking to the bathroom at this point and I have no major aches or pains while asleep. I do get nightly charlie horses and have to sleep in compression socks, which tend to make me extra warm, so I wake up in a sweat from time to time. Overall, those are minor compaints and I'm able to get a really good nights sleep nightly.

Symptoms: nerve pain down the right side of my back and into my right my thigh... this pain practically makes me pass out at times, sharp shooting pains into my who-ha, baby is low, nightly leg cramps in my calves, frequent urination, great skin (beyond clear), normal energy, tailbone pain when sitting, heartburn, carrying on the right/lopsided, hand, feet and face swelling (hand swelling feels like arthritis and face swelling has made my face much more round in the last week or so),  my ass is the size of Texas and my thighs definitely have "dimples" on them

What I Miss: hard salami, hot dogs, deli meat, laying out on my stomach

Best Moment: All 4 grand parents are in town and Bryan and I are ready... We're all just waiting on the guest of honors arrival

Memorable Moments: 
38w2d - Father's Day - We celebrated Father's to-be Day swimming at Latta with Calz and then had my parents over for a BBQ that evening
38w6d - In-Laws - My in-laws have arrived and are anticipating the arrival of their 1st grandchild! 
39weeks - Appointment - not dilated at all, blood pressure good, baby's heart rate is 142 bpm, detailed discussion about when I go into labor, if water breaks/contractions start, induction, induction date, etc.
