39 weeks

Well, I'm due one week from today... and I'm pretty much ready to be done! Come on baby! You can make your appearance whenever you'd like! My belly feels like a rock- he must be super squished in there. I'm feeling a lot less movement, because of the fact that he's so squished. He should be at least 7 pounds now, which is kind of mind-blowing...

I had pretty much the worst night of sleep ever last night. My lower back hurts really bad, my inner thighs hurt (from the pressure coming down, I guess), and I wasn't comfortable on either side, because it felt like the baby was trying to push through the sides of my belly (right into the mattress). All of that, combined with my usual heartburn, and not being able to get up easily from a lying down position, made it a bad night!

I'm at work today, tomorrow, and then a half day on Wednesday. I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, and I'm hoping that I've made some progress since my last appointment on December 11. (I missed my appointment last week, on December 17, due to an ice storm. I stayed home from work for the day, even though Clay ended up going to work. He was really worried that I was going to fall down... and he's probably right!) I'm not sure how far past my due date they'll let me go. Most doctors will induce at one week past the due date, which would put us into January...

I think everything's basically ready for the baby's arrival. The glider is still in a box, and needs to be assembled, but I'm pretty sure that it should be quick to put together. Hopefully Clay will do that tonight.
