Still Pregnant

I am pretty sure if I had to guess what words have come out of my mouth the most the past week, they would be “Still Pregnant”

Every phone call is answered by “Is it Time?!”

and that is really really hard!

I know everyone is just anxious and excited to meet the little babe though.

So if I haven’t responded to your texts that ask me if I have had the baby yet… that’s why haha.

^39 Weeks… how much bigger can this belly get?!

How Far Along:

39 Weeks & 5 Days

How Big is Baby:

The size of a watermelon!

Movement: 

Still very active!

Feeling: 

ANXIOUS! I have never felt more anxious in my life.

Every feeling or pain makes you wonder if this is it.

Jaime and I keep saying how weird it is that we are actually going to have a baby.

It feels like it’s never going to actually happen haha.

Working Out: 

I’ve walked more this past week than I have the past 5 months!

I’ve been doing some squats here and there too!

Anything to move this baby down and get labor going!

Sleep:

Still a good sleeper!

I knew this wouldn’t change, I can literally sleep anytime and anywhere!

Appointment Update:

We had our 39 week appointment yesterday!

They ended up taking my blood pressure 3 times and it was elevated but not enough for them to be too concerned and run additional tests.

I have another appointment on Friday to check in on it though!

I am still dilated to about a 1.5 and approximately 70% effaced.

I had my membranes swept and right away felt a little different.

About an hour after my appointment I started having cramps and contractions that lasted about 2.5 hours and were about 7 minutes apart.

Then they just stopped.

Which was a little heartbreaking.

We also scheduled our induction date incase the little babe decides to keep being stubborn!

March 14th is the big day! or pie day as Jaime keeps saying haha.

Although our doctor “jokingly” said she is on call Saturday (March 10th… our actual due date) so if we happen to show up to the hospital she could probably make something happen.

Now Jaime and I are sitting here wondering how much seriousness was in that statement!

I’m definitely going to be bringing it up again at my appointment on Friday.

We are so ready to meet you little babe!

Love,

Nicole B
