Week 39 - The Final Days!

 About ME:

Waist: 43.5 inches (Total Growth 10.0 inches).

Weight: 167.4 lbs (Total increase 23.6 lbs)  - Looks like we managed to stay within the original 20-25lb goal of weight gain during pregnancy!

Another view of the belly during WEEK 39 (and our 1st son cuddling with his "brother")!!!!

Week 39 was a busy week for me...at our weekly OB appt, we found out I was dilated to 1.5 cm and there was a prediction that that baby would come sometime during the next week (and most likely before our November 7th due date).  I tried to keep optimistic that Baby Meyer was going to come early, but had no idea if/when he would come.

About MONSTER: 

The final days in the womb are all about finishing growing and preparing the lungs for life on the outside!

Planning for MONSTER:

On Sunday, we decided that it was time to pack the hospital bags and make sure we were ready for the little one to join our family!

  

And that is where Week 39 would typically end...but in the final hours of Week 38, Day 6 (i.e. the last day of Week 39), I started having contractions....
