39 weeks

Check out the progression over 9 months...it's safe to say I now have a BIG ol' belly!
*How far along?: 39 weeks
*How big is your baby?: still a large watermelon! ...weighing over 7lbs most likely
*Total weight gain?: 26lbs. total
*Sex: BOY! Grayson Benjamin:)
*Maternity clothes: I am becoming a whiny baby about maternity clothes.
*Stretch marks: 2 tiny ones on each side...not too shabby. I only used my mama mio cream on my stomach for most of the time...lesson learned?
*Movement: He is OUT of room so whenever he moves it shakes my whole stomach. His little foot is still kicking me in the rib.
*Sleep: I half sleep. It's terrible. I think my brain is just in overdrive and has too much to think about: when baby will arrive, what I need to do to in my classroom to get ready, what we need to do at home to get ready..
*Best moment this week: progress was made at the doctor's appointment!
*Food cravings: my stomach has no room for food.
*Labor signs: BH contractions are becoming more frequent...but still irregular. I am 50% effaced but not dilated. Hoping I'm still not closed for business when I go back on Monday. I'm just glad something has happened!
*Belly button in or out: waayyyyyy out.
*What I miss: my feet not being made of memory foam.
*What I'm looking forward to: getting this show on the road!!!!

This guy is ready to meet his baby, too. Ben and I went walking around the mall today for a long time. We also just went to Molinari's and I ordered eggplant parmesan. We'll see if our efforts get us anywhere:)
