39 Weeks!



How far along? 39 weeks and 6 days!!! so exciting!
Total weight gain: 31 lbs.
Maternity Clothes? Barely fitting. So looking forward to my old clothes fitting at some point soon (hopefully!). 
Stretch Marks? None! I couldn't be happier! There's still time for them to show up though...
Sleep? Still awful. I'm not falling asleep until around 11:30 (last night it was 3:30 :|) and waking up either at 3:15, 5:00 or 6:05 completely awake. boooo. 
Best moment this week: Being almost full term!   
Wedding rings on or off? On 
Miss anything? Being able to walk around comfortably. 
Movement? Lots! Especially in the middle of the night, not looking forward to her being awake at these random times in the night soon.  
Food cravings? Still sugar. Oh and chips. yum.
Anything making you queasy or sick? nothing thankfully!  
Have you started to show yet? haha.
Gender: Girl!
Symptoms: major pain in my groin, hips and inner thighs. I literally feel like her head is RIGHT there and is going to fall out when I go to the bathroom. Sounds awful? It is!  
Happy or moody most of the time? So happy! But this waiting game does get taxing at times. 
Labour Signs: Some cramping on and off and lots of pressure down there but nothing exciting to report sadly. I also had bleeding after my stretch and sweep today. So weird to see blood after so long without it!
Belly Button in or out? Out but it is getting more flat and pointed down as she has dropped quite a bit!
Looking forward to: Meeting our little girl!!! Come on Stella!

We had our OB appointment today. It was so disappointing. The resident checked me and I'm 0 cm dilated. It was so discouraging. We had already been told that I was 1 cm weeks ago with the false labour scare and now after feeling more contractions and cramping I'm not even 1 cm. Ugh! She has dropped and my cervix is thin, but I still feel so discouraged. She tried to do a stretch and sweep but wasn't able to get far enough in without me being dilated, it still hurt and still caused bleeding. Hopefully it does something to help speed things up. Anyways, the waiting game continues. In the mean time, I need to try to remember to be thankful for each day since she will be here before we know it!
