39 Weeks


Size of Baby: The size of a wintermelon (???); about 20 inches long and a little over 7 pounds (that's average, but according to a previous doctor's appointment we think Sidney may be bigger)

Maternity Clothes: Mostly maternity clothes. I have two pairs of sandals that I've been able to wear the last week and they make indentions on my poor feet.

Gender: It's a girl--Sidney Katherine (we're not real sure if we will just call her Sidney or Sidney Kate)

Belly Button In/Out: Pretty flat

Movement: She's slowed down a bit. She pretty much just pushes around trying to find some room to stretch out.

Sleep: Every night is different. Some nights it's easy to get to sleep, others not so much. I'm still getting some sleep though.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach; simple, mundane things such as bending over easily or putting my shoes on easily; not having to go to the bathroom constantly

Cravings/Aversions: No particular cravings or aversions. Everything sounds good.  

Symptoms: My back is starting to hurt more, especially if I sit too long. I wake up and my feet (particularly my left foot) are puffy. The ankle swelling hasn't been as bad these last few days with the cooler weather.

Best Moment This Week: We did practically nothing this weekend and it was wonderful. We got lots of rest. 

What I am looking forward to: This sweet girl's arrival.

Update from Doctor's Appointment: We have made a little progress. An induction is scheduled for Friday, May 4 if she doesn't make her appearance before then.
