39 weeks

39 weeks already, I can’t believe it. One more week until her due date (if I make it that far!) I’m actually hoping she comes early, but ultimately its her decision. At my last appointment Dr. Sutandi talked about induction and I told him if it wasn’t medically necessary I didn’t want to do an induction before 40 weeks. After 40 weeks then we’ll talk! I really don’t want to be late! Everything else seems to be fine, she’s still kicking around in my tummy letting me know she’s there. I can’t wait to see her face though, I wonder who she’ll look more like, Brad or myself. Brad’s wondering how much hair she’ll have and what color it’ll be. I think she’ll have blonde peach fuzz hair! I am getting so impatient as is Brad. Every little thing I feel makes me wonder. I just want to meet her already. I forgot to mention though, I have acquired a few small stretch marks. They are all around my belly button and are fairly light so hopefully they will easily disappear after birth.

On Monday when we had to go back to work everyone kept telling me they were surpised to see me there. Everyday is a what if for me. What if this is the day?! Anyways, when I got home Brad later told me that everytime he heard the phone ring at his work it drove him crazy because it could’ve possibly been me. It made me laugh. He said yesterday didn't bother him as much though. My 39 week appointment is tonight and I’ll have an update later for everyone.

How your baby's growing:
Your baby's waiting to greet the world! She continues to build a layer of fat to help control her body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of her skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
