Aaaaahhhhh!!  I am 39 weeks!!  Only one week until Baby Girl's due date.  I can't believe I've gotten this far.  At any moment my life will change forever and one of my biggest dreams will come true!  Even though I can not wait to meet her, I am in no rush to not be pregnant anymore.  I have loved being pregnant!  I know this is not always the case with all women, so I definitely feel blessed.  However, I don't think she will be showing up any time soon.  My midwife will let me go 42 weeks before we even consider any interaction, but hopefully she does decide to grace us with her presence before then.  My guess is the 17th.

Although I have loved this pregnancy, lately I am finding that I'm struggling a bit with my emotions.  I know that this is mainly hormones, but it's been tough.  At the end of May, hubby got a promotion to Lieutenant and although this is great, we weren't expecting the increase in his workload that came with it.  I mean don't get me wrong.  Obviously becoming a supervisor increases the amount of work you do, but add this to his commute and the fact that he still has a second part time job and I really don't see him often.  I don't plan on returning to work so the raise is definitely needed, but I miss him...A LOT!!  I think the fact that I have been out of work for almost a month during a time when I am usually going non-stop plays a part as well.  It has been SOOOO hot and muggy here and just the thought of leaving the house makes me break a sweat!  Hopefully once baby girl is here and hubby completely adjusts to his new position I will not be as emotional...lol....wishful thinking!

And even though I am 39 weeks today, I leave you with a pic we took at 38 weeks.  She had dropped some by this point but has dropped even more since.
Please disregard the incredibly white belly in regard to my arms!!!  Haha!!!

    Yay for 39 weeks! I'm right there with you in terms of not being in a rush to not be pregnant anymore. Hope that things settle down with your husband's job soon. That must be tough.

    One week! That is awesome! I finally hit the single digits today with only 9 days left. It's crazy how close we are getting! I'm sure once Baby Girl gets here, you'll be too busy to miss your hubby as much! Good luck!

    P.S. Thanks for the info on the Chrysalis!

    39 weeks! Yayyy! I have been waiting to soon read your post of L&D and see pics of the lil angel!
    Best wishes to you! You will do great and before you know it she will be in your arms!
    Hopefully sooner than later. She waited until 40 weeks 5 days until my water broke and I was pretty uncomfortable by that point...not to mention SUPER anxious about being induced because my Dr. would not let you go over 41 weeks.
    Can't wait to hear how it goes!!
