Pregnancy Highlights for the Week:
How Far Along: 39 weeks
How Far Along: 39 weeks
Fruit/Veggie: She is now the weight of a mini watermelon.
Size: a little over 7 pounds and about 20 inches long
Baby Changes: Abigail continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. ( boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
Best Moment this week: This week has been a lot of time at home. Which is a huge blessing. On Thursday I helped my hubby build the frame of a chicken coop for our back yard. Friday we got to spend some time catching up with friends! Sunday I got a mani/pedi with my mother in law and then later that night got to go on a long walk with some close friends to try to get Abigail to come! It was just a sweet, restful week!
Gender: precious girl, Abigail Grace
Movement: She is still pretty active everyday. My husband says she is running a marathon everyday because she moves SO much.
Food/Drink Craving: Not to many cravings this week. Just cold ice water.
Sleep: Sleep changes with each night. Most nights it takes me a long time to fall asleep because I get this extra burst of energy. But throughout the night I am tossing and turning trying to get comfortable and then having to get up at least twice to use the restroom.
What I am looking forward to: Meeting our little girl. My parents got back on Monday from helping my brother and sister in law with their newborn in Hawaii. So apparently Abigail is allowed to come now! haha :) I have wanted her to come for the past several weeks!

Symptoms: My feet and hands are getting more and more swollen with each day which is causing my feet to ache a lot more. I have some contractions throughout the day but nothing regular or consistent to be true labor.
Hopefully the next time I update I will have a little one in my arms! How crazy is that?!
