Week 39 - Baby Report

Baby Grace -

She has to be irritated with me. My body has been trying to kick her out all week, but she's not cooperating. Monday is the day, though! She's coming out, ready or not!

The doctor said that baby girl has dropped a bit, just based on belly measurements. Still no dilation. Her beartbeat was good and her movements are still predictable.

Mama -

All I have to say is, "Ambien Schmambien". That stuff didn't work worth a hill of beans tonight. The doctor gave me a couple today at our doctor's appointment to help me sleep through all these contractions I've been having at night. I took one at 10pm and fell asleep pretty quickly, but at midnight I had such a series of whoppers that I haven't been able to go back to sleep. They keep coming, so I'm sitting in the rocking chair, typing blog posts, and breathing through them. Only two more days left, only two more days left, only two more days left...

Blood Pressure: 120/80
Weight: holding steady
Cravings: half a tub of Michael's butterfinger ice cream (it's amazing that my weight holds steady after that binge!)

Other baby news -

This is the last pregnancy report! Woo hoo! The next Baby Report will have pictures of baby Gracie :)

Becky, we'll be praying for your delivery! We're leaving on vacation tomorrow, but I'll be looking forward to pictures of Gracie when we return! Good luck with everything!

I was so hoping for a phone call yesterday. So, Monday, it is, huh? 7/14 is a pretty lucky day, too. 7 and 7+7... the trinity of lucky numbers! Praying that you get some rest between now and then and that the time goes quickly!
