39 Weeks...HERE WE GO.

Well, that's all she wrote, folks. We are 39 weeks tomorrow and I am scheduled for my section at 7:30 AM this Friday morning (Groundhog's day)! I survived my night alone with the girls while Tim was in Texas, and so, this baby can come whenever! But I fully expect he/she will wait until Friday morning. Say a little prayer, if you wouldn't mind.

That being said, how can I pray for YOU?! I have already contacted my close family and friends asking for prayer intentions that I can offer up during my surgery, but I would LOVE to add yours to the list as well. Honestly, I need other things to focus on, so you're doing me a favor! Really! Send them to mamaholiblog.at.gmail.com, or leave them in the comments below. Regardless of specific intentions, I will pray for ALL of you on that day!

Here's my last little photo drop!

Eileen's birthday was a success! We baked donuts, got manis and pedis, and celebrated the beautiful, fun, feisty, lovable girl that made me a mama here on earth. I sure love this kid and will MISS HER SO MUCH while I am in the hospital!

This is the only other shot I have...my goofballs being goofballs. I know they will take care of each other while I am laid up, and I HOPE they will be happily surprised when I come home with a NEW PLAYMATE for them! Wishful thinking!?

Here it is..the final bump. This kid's not messin' around.

How far along? 38 weeks + 6 days!

Clothing?  Same few shirts, and everything else that fits (which is not much) is packed for the hospital.

Stretch marks? Yes!

Sleep? Not good. Girls have still not figured out how to peacefully co-sleep in the same room, which is a bummer. I'm hoping this just clicks when new baby is here. At least I won't have a watermelon on MY bladder all night...that will help my sleep immensely!

Best moment of this week? Celebrating Eileen this weekend and preparing for new baby's arrival!!!!!!!!

Worst moment of this week? A lot of steering the ship on my own this week because Tim has been working. Not his fault, but very difficult this late in pregnancy. So glad to have him home tonight! Also starting to stress about the actual c-section itself because, well, it's kind of terrible. But at least I get A BABY AFTER!!!!

Miss anything? End is in sight, we're all good! 

Movement? Oh yes, big hard rolls and elbows and kicks, and tons of hiccups. The other night my stomach was stretching so much in either direction (possibly two opposite feet?) that I was convinced my skin would rip, or my water would break, or SOMETHING! The human body is so amazing.

Symptoms? Dilated, nauseous, trouble controlling my blood sugar, weight seems to have stabilized!, so many BH's, lots of pelvic pressure, sore, exhausted, crabby, but also so excited.

Food cravings?  Currently using my belly as a table to eat PB and apples. Mmmm.

Gender? Going in predicting girl. Family pool is in full swing. Today at my sister's school, a little girl told me that I was going to have a boy because I have too many girls already. Preach sister! Kidding, we will be OVER THE MOON THRILLED WITH EITHER!

Labor Signs? I mean, sorta? But let's be real, it's probably not gonna happen.

Belly button in or out? Outie.

Wedding rings on or off? On! But swollen!

Mood? So so so many things. But above all, ready.

Looking forward to? BABY.

Here. we. go.
