Week 39

I never thought I would make it this long but lookey here...I did. I can't say I am overly tickled about it though.I got my weekly babycenter update and this is what it said..

"Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath."

Okay two things I would like address here. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not remind a pregnant woman that she is days away from birthing something that you just compared to a watermelon. Is it necessary to point out at this time that boys are slightly heavier than girls, I MEAN WHO CARES AT THIS POINT? Thanks babycenter, you really just helped me out with the poor emotional state that I am already in.

As if this were not enough for one day. Z and I head out to get some needed household items when the sweet lady approached me at Kroger..."SWEETIE, can I ask when you are due, bless your heart? I noticed you all the way from over there." I laughed and said oh 1 more week and she gave me a hug and continued with her ahh, bless your hearts. Z said it is pretty bad when people are giving you sympathy and you have never met them before! Such is life at 39 weeks....

We will be inducing next week if the little guy doesn't make a move! Pray with us that he does and he does SOON...it will be so much easier on him and his mommy! :)
