Bumpdate: 40 Weeks!

Well, I officially passed my July 4th due date.  Bummer.  Our next appointment is on Friday and we will be discussing induction options.  I also have a No Stress Test on Friday morning to make sure baby is still doing okay and that everything is functioning properly.  I think we get to have an ultrasound for that appointment, which is super exciting because we haven't had one since 20 weeks!

Baby has definitely dropped, the top of my stomach is pretty squishy to the touch compared to how it used to be, and I had a few days of good contractions but then they stopped.

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary, which is crazy to me!  Where has time gone?  Mark got me the best anniversary gift of two small pans of brownies because he didn't know if I would want frosting on them or not and brownie ice cream.  He knows the way to my heart :)

We finished up baby's mobile today and just have to put a few things away in the nursery and it will finally be done.  I'll have to take some pictures soon and do a nursery post too.


How far along: 40 Weeks (and currently 5 days overdue!)
Gender: It's a baby!  I'm so anxious to know.
Weight gain: About 33 pounds, I seriously can't stop eating ice cream and S'mores.  It's a sickness.
Maternity clothes: Yup.  I'm down to about 4 shirts that actually fit.
Stretch marks: Yes.  Major bummer.
Belly button in or out: Out
Sleep: Pretty good, minus the fact that I have to start the night sitting up because of the heartburn.
Best moment this week: Hanging out with friends for 4th of July, and our anniversary!
Worst moment this week: Still being pregnant...I love being pregnant, but I want to meet this little baby so badly!
Miss anything: Laying on my stomach and not having to go to the bathroom every hour.
Movement: Yup!  I love it and will miss it so much.
Cravings: Ice cream, chocolate, and fruit.
Queasy or sick: Feeling good until I get heartburn.
Looking forward to: Having this baby!

Bumpdate: 39 Weeks!

I am seriously hoping this is the last Bumpdate I will get to do.  Here's to hoping Baby Beckwith comes soon!

Today is one of my due dates, according to our early dating ultra sound.  But the official due date for Baby B is July 4, only 3 more days!  Baby definitely feels lower, and I have been having more contractions, but nothing consistent.

Today was rough.  I'm not sure why but I had a crazy backache for about half the morning, and it really sucked.  Luckily Mark gave me a little massage and after laying down for a while I was back to normal.

I've been walking 3.5 miles everyday this week!  But so far Baby hasn't got the message to come out...

On to the weekly stats:


How far along: 39 Weeks
Gender: It's a baby!  I can't wait to meet our little peanut!
Weight gain: About 30 pounds, I ate too much junk food last week :)
Maternity clothes: Yup.  Except I have to be careful about which shirts I wear because my belly sticks out of the bottom of some of them.
Stretch marks: Yes.  Major bummer.
Belly button in or out: Out.  It's weird and squishy.
Sleep: Pretty good, but I keep waking up so early.  If I sleep until 7 am that's a successful night.
Best moment this week: Feeling baby move.  I'm going to miss it so much.  And relaxing by the pool.
Worst moment this week: Heartburn and my crazy backache.
Miss anything: Exercising like normal, sleeping on my stomach.
Movement: Yup!  I love it!
Cravings: Sweet things, especially ice cream.
Queasy or sick: Feeling good until I get heartburn.
Looking forward to: Our appointment on Thursday afternoon and a fun (hopefully baby filled) weekend!
