39 Weeks...

Day 6:
Hopefully this is my LAST survey for the pregnancy =) Not too much has changed in a week but for memory's sake I wanted to record SOMETHING the last week! however I'll switch this one up by recording what I loved about pregnancy and what I could've done without =)


How Far Along:39 weeks

Size of baby: a watermelon=)
Things that I loved:

• Feeling her move for the first time and then feeling her move everyday
• Watching her roll in my stomach
• Being fortunate enough to have not really experience morning sickness or really any major illness during the entire pregnancy
• Smiles from strangers just because I'm huge haha
• Maternity clothes...I'll miss the stretchy pants haha
  
• Hearing her heartbeat at each appointment
• The excitement of finding out whether we would be having a son or daughter
• Planning and decorating her nursery with Greg
• Buying cute clothes and day dreaming about dressing her up in them
  
• Seeing Greg SO excited about meeting her and waking up in the mornings to him saying "Anything yet?! I was hoping today was the day!"
• Lots more I'm sure, I'll add as I think of things...

Things that were not so pleasant:

• The backaches. I've had trouble with my back basically since the second month and now it is terrible.
• Having zero energy this past month
• The lack of sleep from the back and hip pain
• the Braxton Hicks- 1) because they are quite uncomfortable and 2) because they get my hopes up that it's the real thing, only to be sorely disappointed that it's not
• The stretchmarks...I'll get over it eventually. It could be WAY worse.

Overall, this pregnancy has been remarkably easy and I feel SO blessed that we were able to get pregnant so quickly and have everything go as smoothly as it has so far. I feel like a jerk complaining about anything, but with everything said, pregnancy is/was still harder than I expected, although I certainly realize it could be so much worse. I am SO beyond ready to meet our sweet girl and I am counting down the days, hours, and minutes until that happens =)
