39 weeks

39 WEEKS??!!!!!!??! I can't believe I am typing that number!! I mean seriously, this pregnancy has FLOWN by! I went to the doctor Wednesday and unfortunately, I had not dilated anymore from the week before. I was so disappointed! But, to make myself feel better, I kept telling myself that I could keep working so that I could have more days at home with her when she FINALLY decides she is ready to meet her mommy and daddy. Will talks to my belly every now and then and tells her to come out, but she doesn't listen to him either ha! So now we are just playing the waiting game, and I am continuing to teach. It does help keep my mind off things. If she's not here by Wednesday, I have another appointment with Dr. Kimmel.

So what has my pregnancy been like?

Weight Gain - around 33 pounds. I am trying to not get to 40!

Cravings - MILK! Will says that I have to go on a milk diet once LK gets here because I have consumed entirely way to much while pregnant. I have never been a milk drinker, but these days, I can not get enough of it! I have also loved getting wraps from McAlistairs Deli.

Sleep - this 3rd trimester, sleep has been a struggle. I started snoring horribly and have the world's smallest bladder now, so I am up at least 4 times during the night going to the bathroom. I wake myself up snoring. And I can only sleep on my left side. I wake up wanting to roll over, but I can't. So basically I rely on my afternoon naps for my best sleep.

Energy - I had plenty of energy my 2nd trimester. School had just started and I was ripping and roaring with my kiddos, but now I have slowed down. Getting a walk in with Will is hard work. The extra weight plus pressure on my bladder and pelvis makes walking uncomfortable.

Sum it up - My pregnancy has been fairly easy. Other than the 2 weeks in June when I thought I was dying, being pregnant has been fun. I am ready to not be pregnant anymore, though, but that's because I am ready to meet sweet Lila Kate!!
