A Life Full of Love: 39 Weeks

It's my last update! I am 39 weeks and we are having this baby on Monday!

This week has been the longest of any week so far. From being busy getting things ready and just being ready for Monday to get here already, this week has crept by!

Saturday my wonderful friend Ki came over and brought us lunch and helped me wash and organize clothes and do a few other things. She was a huge help!!!

This week was full of highs and lows for me emotionally. Everything just became SO real and part of me is incredibly excited and the other part is terrified. I tend to over think things and had to remind myself several times this week to always believe that something good is about to happen. That doesn't mean things are going to be easy, but they are going to be worth it. I can do hard things and I will get through whatever it is I have to get through. I just can't wait to be holding my baby because I know in that moment, nothing else matters and I will move heaven and earth for him!!!

Since I'm pretty sure this is my last pregnancy, I have also been trying to "enjoy" being pregnant. That has been a little difficult because I have been in pain and just very, very uncomfortable, but I do love feeling Avery move and kick and rubbing my belly as much as possible. I remember feeling this way with Stephen too. It's strange to go from having a baby in your belly to your arms- just like that!

I have been in a lot of pain this week and Wednesday night had contractions all night long. I didn't go to sleep until after 6 am! I had a doctor appointment today and I am still not dilated at all!

Here is my belly this week. I really don't feel like pictures do justice how big I really am!
