We are now at 39 weeks! How exciting! Looking back I remember thinking how terrified I would be at this point, about to give birth. But you know what? I'm sooo ready to meet him now. I really believe God prepares you throughout to be ready- but really in the end too!
The uncomfortableness, the lack of sleep, the general weight your carrying make you more than ready to be done with being pregnant. I have more pains now than I ever did in the pregnancy, just from the weight of him.
Rolling over at night is quite an effort, but I do it numerous times since my hips start hurting- then I have to get up to go to the bathroom, it's a whole circle that continues many times.
Bending over is of course a challenge- I have to bend knees down and kind of lean sideways to attempt picking up things- and then I get so disappointed if I miss the item and have to try again! I've given up many times just for the sheer workout of it all!
I'm ready to be able to move a little easier, and sleep- while I know it will be a while for that last one.
And I'm so thrilled to see our son! We both are, and are eagerly looking forward to his arrival. Right now we are still praying for him to turn, and if he doesn't by next Friday at 9 a.m., we'll be meeting him for sure. Otherwise, I could go into labor over the next week, we'll see. I'm not trying, but my body sure is getting ready. Oh what a fun journey it's been, and now we get to start a brand new one, how much fun it will be!

Oh, yeah, the lovely last month!! Remember I told you how by the time we get to this point, all we want is for it to be OVER! And just think of the incredible miracle you will be holding very soon. (By the way, I went to wearing crocs because I needed TJ to tie my sneakers by that time, lol) Only six more days-yay! Hang in there...
Carrie! Wow! So hard to believe you are at 39 weeks! Still praying for your little guy to turn, and anxiously awaiting the big news! Much love!
Oh so exciting. Can't wait to me him and learn his name. I'll continue to pray that he will go towards the light. LOL. Such an exciting time. Yes I bought a preggar pillow for my second pregnancy and what a difference, but taking five minutes to turn to the other side was not fun, pillow or not.
