39 Weeks

At 39 weeks ...

- my ring got stuck on my finger for several days. Scary. I'm done wearing it until the swelling goes down! I've since replaced it with a plain silver band purchased from American Eagle circa 2001. Snazzy.

- I finally got a copy of The Happiest Baby on the Block (in DVD format). My sweet husband was such a trooper and watched it with me (after some begging). Next up: Dunstan Baby Language.

- I was a little nauseous on Tues/Wed but I think it was mostly in my head. I got a little grouchy with that and the extreme heat but when Rob complained I politely quickly reminded him that many pregnant women are like this for all 9+ months. Pizza sure changed my mood though! Weird.

- it's sinking in more and more that we will soon have a little person that we're fully responsible for. And that's a little daunting!

- in an effort to get this baby movin' (down and out), I've stepped up my efforts in the exercise department. Of course that's not difficult to increase when you're at zero, but it's been so nice! We've been walking the mall (indoor and outdoor), Heritage Park, and the path to our secret sneaky lake. I love the time I get to spend walking with Rob, even if he laughs that it's serious exercise for me at this point.

- I'm so relieved that I'm not working right now. I would be such a bear if I had to wake up early, get myself ready, and be "on" all day long. Round of applause for relaxation, people!

- I still have yet to find a stretch mark. Fingers crossed...

- Rob's latest strategy to entice baby to come out is to sing happy birthday to him! I about peed my pants laughing the first time but desperately held it because he would've just claimed my water broke.   He also sang in Spanish, just in case. Yesterday his tactic was reverse psychology: he didn't mention (to babe directly, at least) anything about him being born. Today he's accusing baby of making him look foolish. Oh, it's only the beginning...
