40 Weeks - She's the size of a pumpkin!
How far along: 40 weeks - today is my due date!
Maternity Clothes: Still comfy.
Stretch Marks: Bath and Body works sells a stretch mark cream for $40... pretty sure there's no way to justify spending that kind of money on less than 3 oz of cream that might not even work!
Sleep: WONDERFUL! I've only been waking up once in the night to go to the bathroom, and some nights can fall back asleep without getting up to go. {you know you're very pregnant when you would rather just try and fall back asleep with a full bladder than get up and pee!}
Best Moment this Week: Spending the evening working upstairs with all of our housemates. Things are looking good!
Movement: She's still been going like crazy just reminding me that she's doing good!
Food Cravings: Pop tarts!
Gender: Girl!! :)
Labor Signs: Started having some pretty consistent braxton hicks contractions yesterday but nothing painful. Also did some serious nesting, so we'll see what happens in the next few days.
Belly Button: Pokes through my shirt now.
What I Miss: I can honestly say there isn't anything I miss this week. I've been feeling great, lots of energy, loving my big pregnant belly, and wouldn't change a thing! That is, unless it meant getting to hold my baby girl :)
What I'm Looking Forward to this Week: The bathroom should be finished {for reals this time} by tuesday!
Weekly Wisdom: "Due date" means nothing to me - God has already determined when she'll come, and that's the most comforting thought in the world.

I'm so glad you found me! I was just thinking about you, but I figured it might be awhile if I PM'd you. Here's my email so you can update me if anything happens:

Good luck!!
What a great attitude Ashley! Your right, God knows the precise & perfect moment for your Emmaline to come into the world. You will do great and I am praying that you have a safe and easy delivery. And also want to encourage you for being such a good example to other young wives. Love You, A. Char
ReplyDeleteBen says that stretch marks are like army stripes. :-) I think you can use fade cream (I think palmers makes some) on them after the baby is born, but I'm not positive. It might just be an urban legend.
ReplyDeleteVitamin E Oil, just poke the gel caplets and smear it on ... cheaper and works great on stretch marks!
