3 Days Left!

I can't believe my due date is only 3 days away. I know it's likely I could go past that, but still, any day now life is going to change completely! I am officially on maternity leave (YAY!) until probably sometime in April. I was able to spend a lot of time with family today, and hopefully get the house spruced up a bit the next few days before Wyatt arrives. I have my fingers crossed that the snowstorm tomorrow coupled with Wednesday's full moon will kick things into gear. Sounds crazy, but a drop in barometric pressure and full moons both have a correlation to increased numbers of women going into labor. Knock on wood!

**TMI ALERT**

Another good sign is that yesterday I lost my mucus plug. Even just typing those two words together makes me cringe, however I was super excited to have it happen. It may not mean labor will start immediately, however it does represent some progress going on with my body preparing.

Probably the next time I write in this I will be a mom! See you on the flip side :)

How far along: 39 weeks, 4 days
Baby is the size of: a watermelon

Cravings: just had a McD's quarter pounder meal. So bad, but oh so good.

Becoming Impatient

Well I guess looking at my last picture, to this week's, people at work are right - I am dropping. We are officially less than 2 weeks until my due date, however I'm beginning to think I will be pregnant forever. Each day seems to drag by so slowly, and I'm constantly wondering when I will go into labor. My shifts at work have been shortened, which is great, however I am still very uncomfortable and exhausted by the time I get home. I'm very anxious, but also nervous. I can't wait to meet our son and enjoy becoming a mother, but there are times where I stop and think about how much life is about to change. It's strange that my time and thoughts will soon be consumed with poopy diapers and bottle feedings. Anyhow, with any luck, this may be my last pregnant post!

How far along: 38 weeks, 1 day

Baby is the size of: a watermelon, from here on out...

Weight: 184 (41 lb. gain - I think I have leveled off now)

Cravings: not really craving anything, but have intentionally been eating foods as spicy as my wimpyness can handle, hoping it might help somehow
