How far along? 39 weeks
Size of baby? Watermelon
Total weight gain/loss: I have gained exactly 20 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yes, and all the pajamas I own.
Stretch marks? Still nope!
Sleep: Up all the time to pee. Late night contractions have me up too.
Best moment this week: We installed the car seat and officially have our hospital bag packed! We are READY. Dr. moved my due date up a few days and set a date for an induction just in case I am over-due. There WILL be a baby by July 7th at the latest!
Miss Anything? I miss being productive. I feel like I can do 10 minutes of one activity and then I am totally drained. I also miss having control over my bladder. Just sayin'.
Movement: Two little baby feet are right up against my ribs 24/7. (Which is good, because he is FINALLY head down!)
Anything making you queasy or sick: The contractions I have been having tend to make me a little woozy and dizzy.
Have you started to show yet: Yes, but everyone keeps telling me I am small. I do not feel small, people!
Gender: Baby boy. We double checked that this week at our ultrasound. Still a boy!
Labor Signs: Painful "false labor" contractions that last for hours before they fade away. It's pretty much the worst. However, they are helping with SOME dilation. So gotta look on the bright side. 
Belly Button in or out? It's out now fer sure.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, excited and anxious to have this baby!
How Toby is handling the baby: Toby is my sidekick, which is strange. He is usually glued to Shane.
Weekly Wisdom: Don't overwork yourself. It's okay to take it easy!
Looking forward to: Getting this baby boy out! I know since I want him out so badly that I am totally going to be over-due. I am going to be the one woman who REALLY IS pregnant FOREVER, I swear.
