bugaboo {38 weeks}

Another week down - wow!  I said this last week, but I really do keep wondering which of these will be my last weekly post.  With Asher this week was it.  He was born at 39w1d and I never got the 39 week post up.  We'll see what ladybug decides to do!

Just for fun, here's my belly with Asher at 38 weeks...

They are/were both still really high at this point!  I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday, so we'll see if any progress is being made.

With having just moved to this area, I'm constantly meeting new people in the neighborhood and at church.  My very obvious pregnancy is always a first topic of conversation and people are of the unerring opinion that I'm pretty tiny to be due in 2 weeks.  I feel big and know my size is fine, but it's still funny to have folks basically say that my due date must be wrong because of the way I look.  We'll see {but I'm pretty sure the timing is right - ha!}

I've been feeling pretty good - with the exception of sleeping.  It used to be the if I stayed on my left side things would be great, but now no matter how I lay down my arms and hands fall asleep.  I probably woke up 6 times last night because parts of me went numb.  I could do with less of that.

This week the baby is the size of a pumpkin.  Perfect timing for fall!  She's still getting bigger and more ready to greet the world.

How far along: 38 weeks
