39 Weeks Pregnant with Baby Girl R

How far along? 39 Weeks- OMG only one more week!!!

How big is baby? The size of a Watermelon.  Sure looks that way!

Sleep? Same old, same old.

Best moment this week?  We finished the nursery, it is perfect!  At my weekly doctor's appointment I was 2 cm dilated and 70% effaced.  I also lost my mucus plug (TMI?).  I am thinking this little lady is going to show her face some time this weekend.  If not, I have a doctor appointment on Monday and he will send me in for an ultrasound to make sure the fluid levels are good and then we will go from there.  He said he would induce me on Tuesday if I wanted but I would prefer (if everything is ok with the girl) to wait until it happens on it's own.  If (and that is a big "if" because I think it will happen this weekend) it doesn't happen by next Thursday or Friday I will get induced.

Worst Moment this week?  I woke up with a horrible sore throat on Thursday morning, I am really hoping this little girl stays put until Momma feels better.  I can imagine how awful going through labor will be when it feels like I swallowed glass.  Luckily I don't have a fever and woke up this morning feeling better than yesterday so hopefully tomorrow will be even better.

Movement? I think she is ready to come out and stretch her little arms and legs because poor girl is running out of room.

Food cravings? Ice cubes and Mexican food...and vanilla/vanilla cupcakes.

Gender? Sweet Baby Girl...we are probably (90% sure?) going to name this little lady Hazel Riley Robinson.

What I miss?  Nothing really, just excited to meet her.

What I am looking forward to?  Cuddling with my sweet girl and nursing her.

Weekly wisdom?  Rest, because you won't have very much time for rest soon!

Milestones?  Baby girl can flex her limbs now.
