HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2016
How far along? 39 Weeks!
How big is baby? Baby Love is the size of a mini watermelon.

Maternity clothes? Long sleeve shirts, yoga pants, boots, and scarves. (I do find that I continually have to pull down my shirts because I find my belly hanging out)
Sleep: is extremely difficult and uncomfortable. Mostly, my whole body aches...I have some good nights, but sleep hasn't been coming easy.
Best moment this week: Getting closer to my due date/visiting with friends home for the Holidays
Movement: A TON. I can feel her getting bigger. When she shifts, my whole abdomen shifts. My body feels like it's being thwarted into different shapes. I find her feet in my side on a regular basis. I have to move it because it gets uncomfortable!
Food cravings: Coca-Cola soda, Fruit
Food Aversions: Nothing in particular..
Gender: BABY GIRL!
Labor Signs: A ton of Braxton Hicks mixed with real contractions. Definitely experiencing the "show" they talk about. I feel like we're getting closer.
Pregnancy Symptoms: EXHAUSTION, sciatic, hip pain, lower back pain, sore chest, and contractions.
Belly Button in or out? Not quite out, but close enough
What I miss: Sleeping on my Stomach/Getting a good night's sleep.
What I am looking forward to: I want to say that I'm looking forward to my due date, but part of me is still attached to the idea of keeping her where she is. I'm going to miss our little internal bond. I'm kind of nervous to have her out =/ I'm hoping this feeling changes and Sean and I will have our bonding time with her. This is really important to me. I can't wait to experience what it's like to be us 3.
Upcoming appointments/events: Aria's Due Date is on Thursday. We have a doctor's appt on Wednesday. I'm anxious to hear what the doctor is going to say. I can't believe we've made it this far. Little miss was supposed to be here weeks ago. She's quite stubborn already!
Milestones: Making it (almost) to Aria's due date, celebrating New Years Eve, getting to the theatre to see Star Wars before little Lady got here. (This was super important to Daddy)
