39 weeks

How far along: 39 weeks

Size of baby: About the size of a watermelon (see photo to right) 

Total Weight Gain/Loss:
 still up about 22 pounds from pre-pregnancy - maybe the attempts to not eat all the food are working a little :-)

How I'm Changing: Well I think the fruit picture from this week is speaking to me -- I definitely feel like I am carrying a watermelon around 

Gender: baby boy 

Movements: A little less movement than before but still regular stretches and kicks - he must be running out of room in there at this point

38w3d
Sleep: Lots of interruptions still but at least I'm not working now so I can sleep in in the mornings

How I'm feelinglarge, tired, and very very hot most of the time - glad the weather is nice enough that I can sleep with the window open now

What I Miss: I no longer care about red wine or sushi - I miss being able to walk without pain

Cravings: all the food.

Best Moment(s) of the Week: My first days of maternity leave have been quite lovely - we had really nice weather on Wednesday and Thursday and I was able to get several things done that I needed to do before the baby comes. 

What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On:  Looking forward to a few days of rest at home and meeting our little guy :-) only 7 days until his due date!
