Yesterday, we went to the doctor for my final appointment. Everything is fine, there has been no progress. None. At all.
I thought I’d put together a fun recap and share a little of what I’ve been up to lately. I’ve been in this crazy nesting mode, and I sort of feel bad for Allen. He’s done some pretty crazy things, that have absolutely nothing to do with having a baby to satisfy a honey-do list. Thank goodness he loves me so much, I feel like there are few that would put up with my extreme nesting.
I also feel like if we had anymore time, I would probably be repainting, because I have scrubbed the walls and baseboards like a mad woman. The poor paint wouldn’t stand a chance if I did this all of the time. At 39 weeks, I feel like I need to sit down and rest, and then I think about how I’ll have to sit down and rest as I recover. Which makes me feel the need to go and clean something else.
I’m a little in denial about tomorrow. I feel like if I keep myself busy, then I don’t have to think about all of the unknowns and what-if’s that come with birth and a c-section. I’ve found sweet peace through my devotionals, prayers and conversations with Allen this week, they seem to have been just what I needed to put my anxiety and stress to rest.
I don’t have an official 39 week update, most things are the same. We’re just ready for the excitement that the next 24 hours will hold. I do have a picture. One last weekly picture. Yes, I’m a little obsessed with that blue gingham maternity sash from (I’m not sure that Megan carries that anymore, but it’s made by The Beaufort Bonnet Company) those sweet initials at the bottom belong to baby boy and I can’t wait to use it again in his newborn pictures.
Anyway, here’s a look at the last 9 months. I hardly recognize that tinier version of myself, and I’d like to kick her for thinking she needs to lose 10 pounds. I’ve gained a good bit of weight, two pounds over the 40 that I thought I had gained. That’s 42, yes. I’m strangely okay with this. It just doesn’t seem like something that’s worthy of losing any sleep over, especially since I’ve got my sights set on a tiny newborn prize tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day. I’ll be sure to update, most likely via Instagram.
Sending all the best wishesto you and your family as you welcome your baby boy!
