39 Week Belly Pictures and Updates

Hi everyone,

We decided to take 39 week belly pictures in case we don't make it to week 40, so here they are:


Here are two bare belly pictures, for those of you wondering how weird that looks...


So as you can see, my stomach is rather huge! Baby is out of room and will hopefully be making his appearance any time. We are 39 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Our due date is next week Tuesday.

At the doctor today there wasn't much different from last week, I am still 2 cm dilated, 65% effaced and baby is at a -1 station. My doctor said that it could be anytime, or we could go over the due date, its hard to tell. We have booked an induction for Sept 29 (one week after my due date) so if I haven't gone into labor by then we know it will be happening that day! We're hoping that I will go into labor naturally because being induced doesn't sound like much fun, but we'll see how things go.

We have everything ready to go - the hospital bags are packed and we're just waiting! I am still working this week, but I'm getting pretty uncomfortable. Sleeping is definitely a challenge now, I am up several times every night. I am ready for the pregnancy to be done and for our little guy to be here!

If we go into labor anytime soon, this may be our last post before baby gets here (lets hope)! Otherwise I will post again to update everyone on how things are going next week. Please say prayers for us that everything goes smoothly with the labor and delivery!

Till next time,

Beth and Adam
