39 weeks!

Wow- my due date is on Thursday, today is Saturday! I know the due date is just a guesstimate, but it's definitely a milestone that we're very close to. Harry is seeming pretty comfy- so we'll see if he goes past due, and if so, how far.
In the past week or 2 I've gotten to the point where strangers are regularly striking up conversations with me, asking when I'm due, etc. thankfully, no strangers have touched my belly. I'm surprisingly completely fine with people I know touching my stomach, it just seems a normal part of pregnancy, but I don't think I'd feel the same about strangers doing so.

The below pictures are 38 weeks 6 days (blue and black shirt with tie) and 39 weeks 3 days (taken today- blue fitted shirt).

38 weeks!

I can't believe it's already 38 weeks! On one hand I feel like I've been pregnant forever, on the other hand I feel like its gone so fast!
Items have been checked off the to-do list, Christmas presents have begun to be purchased, DIY touches are being finished on the nursery, and the baby will be here at any time!
This past week at my appointment it really hit me that he'll be here soon and that everything will change. Wowww. I don't even know what that means! We also got an estimated current weight of the baby:
5.75-6 lbs. so far he's a little peanut! Pretty soon we'll get to see and hold him in our arms!
Okayyyy, here's a 38 week picture

Nursery (mostly) reveal!

Ahhhh I just took a long bath followed by a long shower- cause I still can. Then I checked to see if I was flexible enough to touch my toes without bending my knees- I am!! That made Harry move around a bunch.
Anyway... On to the real post- nursery stuff!
So as of this past Thursday I'm off the meds and bed rest, so this weekend I kicked into gear and was finally free to work on the nursery.
I still have a few pieces that need added. The glider/rocker is ordered and will be here this weekend and the curtains are being made. The rocker will go in the corner where the blue bouncer currently is sitting to hold it's spot.
There are other little details, but some of them will need to wait for the baby (like pictures of him to go around the elephant canvas).
So here's what we have do far, it finally feels like a real nursery!! I can't wait until it's 100% finished...and has a baby to go in it!

37 weeks- full term!

Wow! Looking back at my pregnancy, reaching the magical 37 weeks is so awesome!
I'm feeling great. Definitely have been heading to bed earlier than usual, but don't seem to have the common discomfort they Hellen's at this point.
Harry likes tucking his feet right under my right ribs, if I gently touch it or nudge it he'll usually move.
It's weird to think that he could come tomorrow or he could come in 3 weeks. So when do YOU think he'll make his arrival?

36 weeks and due date month!

I don't know what a Crenshaw melon is, but that's the side of the baby!
Thursday was a big day, it marked 36 weeks AND it was Nov. 1st!!! The month we're due!
What a journey this has been so far and we are grateful that Harry is healthy and still cooking!
