39 weeks!

 39 weeks!

Please excuse the awkward whispies across my forehead. I don't know what they are doing there.

How far along: 39 weeks, baby!
Baby is the size of a: Watermelon.
Maternity clothes: I'm starting to pack them up and say good-bye!
Food cravings: Still chocolate and anything chocolate covered. There is now a DQ about 1 mile away from where I live and it is going to be bad news. On Sunday I got a chocolate dipped cone and on Monday I stopped by on my way home and got a Chocolate Xtreme blizzard. I am seriously eating more these last few weeks of being pregnant than I have throughout my entire pregnancy.
Anything make you queasy or sick: Nope 
Miss anything: As much as I love his squirms and hiccups, I think I am 'done' being pregnant. I am ready for this little boy to be on the outside!
Boy or Girl: A little man! You all will be finding out his name very, very soon :)
Movement: Still moving and squirming about.
Best moment this week: I made it through teaching and did NOT got into labor (major fear and goal conquered), I feel like I officially have everything done and can finally relax. Have I mentioned how AWESOME it is to NOT be working!
Worst moment this week: Moving. With me being a Type A person and wanting to control things, it was very hard for me to just sit back and let others do all the work. Poor hubs also got sick during the move and was miserable. It was scary watching him try to back a U-haul truck up the steep, curvy driveway. I thought he was going to go "Sailing right out there!"
How have I been feeling: Tired. It seems like I have to limit myself to one activity a day and then I need to lay down for a good couple of hours and just chill.
Other tidbits:

• We had a doctor's appointment on Friday: I have dilated a little bit more (now at 3 1/2-4 cm), still 70% effaced and he is at station -1. 
• The doctor thinks he will come this week!
• This whole waiting for the baby to come is pretty nerve racking. I go to bed wondering if this is the night I will wake up and be in labor. 
• We are officially moved in! Our little 'loft' is all set up and we have cleaned our old apartment and ready to turn in the keys. 
• Not working is so amazing! I get to sleep in (sleeping in for me is 8:00), I can lounge around, go to lunch with my hubs. I could really get use to this!
• I don't know if I have gotten the 'nesting' bug so much. I definitely do have the urge to have everything in order and ready to go, but I don't really feel so much like cleaning. 
• I seem to have the 'grooming' bug- I have this need to be well groomed before I go into labor- make sure my eyebrows are plucked, legs shaved, fingernails cut and showering every morning. I don't know if this is normal.  
• I have officially gone over my monthly text message allowance and the next 'month' does not start til the 7th. I have been trying SO hard to not text or receive texts. My sister had to get creative and start emailing me as our communication to each other!
• I'm excited that I have made it into April and past April 1st (I didn't want an April Fool's baby).
• Things we checked off our to-do list:
• MOVE- that should be enough for one week. 
• Write thank-you notes from Northern Baby Shower
• Not go into labor at school- check!
• Blog about the Northern Baby Shower and the Baby's room (I know that is not a high priority but I wanted to be caught up on my blogging before he arrived).

Looking forward to: Meeting our son!
Countdowns:

• Days until due date: 7!
• Days left of teaching: 0- Oh I don't need this countdown any more :D
