Update from Hubby's IPhone
As of 6:45 I am 7cm. We got to the hospital at 1:30 and I wasn't progressing so they were talking about sending us home. I wanted to cry so we walked the lobby for 1 hour and when we got back and I was 4 1/2 cm so we got to stay. I got my epi at 5:40 am I am very very itchy. Soon we will be having our baby boy!

Still pregnant
I am still here and still pregnant. No sign of baby as of yet. I went for my Non-Stress Test, U/S & regular appointment this morning. Everything checked out a-ok. The stress test showed that our baby boy is nice and comfortable in the belly still. The u/s showed that he has great fluid and is an estimated 7 pounds (give or take a half pound in either direction). I will go back on Friday if he hasn't made is grand entrance yet. I never made it to get my special cream cheese today-Jay was in a rush to get to work. I will get it Friday for sure if we don't have any baby action. The cafe where it is sold just isn't located in the best area of the city and they have like 0 parking.

39 Weeks & 6 days (HFS!!)
So yeah, 39 weeks and 6 days. That means 1 more days till my estimated due date. Are you serious? Where has the time gone? And I thought I was going to maybe go like a week early. Haha! No such luck!
I am doing this post today in case I go into labor today or tonight and I am unable to do it tomorrow (as if that's really going to happen). A girl can dream, can't she? I would LOVE to have this little guy on 1-11. What a cool birthday that would be. 1-11-12. I always liked the date since my estimated due date with big sister was 2-22.
Tomorrow I have an appointment at 8am for a Non-Stress test, Ultrasound & then appointment with my doctor. Hopefully all will be well. Hopefully on the way in I have time to stop at Eric's for his famous labor inducing cream cheese. I had an appointment on my EDD with Savannah and we stopped for cream cheese then too. I went into labor over night that night. It's worth a try right!

Mr. Man's Room
So Shane's nursery is pretty much all done. I still want to get a shelf to go on the same the wall down by the closet/nightstand. They have a beautiful red one at PBK that I LOVE but it is stupid expensive so hopefully it will go on sale. PBK also has sports balls (baseball, football & basketballs) that I would like to add too. I had a blast decorating this room and think it came out pretty awesome! Now all I need is my baby!
39 Weeks & 1 Day
How far along: 39 weeks & 1 day
Size of baby:
Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he 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 his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
Weight gain: 162.4 (up from 160.8 last week-up 32.4 total)
Stretch marks: None
Belly button: Very much an outie
Sleep: Last week sleep was getting "better" but this week I am back to being an insomniac. It really sucks seeing every hour go by on the clock at night.
Best Moment of the Week: It was so nice to have Jay home with Savannah and I on Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday & Monday. He is now back to work until the baby decides the time is right. Hopefully soon! I went for a pedicure on Tuesday so my toes are ready.
Movement: Over the past 4 days his movement has REALLY slowed down. He still moves 5-6 separate times during the day but the periods are short.
Symptoms: Same as the last couple of weeks. Very tired, thirsty & generally uncomfortable. I am looking forward to not having this big belly on the front of me.
Food cravings/Aversions: Nothing new to report.
Gender: BOY
What I miss: Sleep and just feeling comfortable
Looking forward to: I am still looking forward to L & D. I just want to meet my baby boy. I am so excited to see what he looks like and have him safe and sound in our arms!
Dreams: Still nothing
