39 Weeks
39 WeeksFun Baby Facts:
Baby girl continues to build a layer of fat to help control her body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (My doctors think she's actually a little bit on the smaller side...more like 6 pounds instead of 7...we will find out soon!) The outer layers of her skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath. All of her organs are developed and in place.
How Am I Doing/What's New This Week?
Besides swelling in my hands and feet, I'd have to say that I'm feeling pretty good. I'm tired and the simple daily tasks are getting harder and harder, but I'm still capable of doing mostly everything I need to do.
This past Thursday I started working from home. This has been really great! I mean, who can complain about working from home, in bed, with my PJ's on!? I'm really blessed that I've got great support at work, that they are allowing me to work from home right now!
Ray's mom is also here right now. She's been a huge blessing...cleaning, doing laundry, packing boxes, even cooking! While, to be honest, I get REALLY frustrated about people doing things for me and telling me to sit and take it easy, it's been great to have the option to relax!
We are closing on our new house this week. YEAH!!!! We were scheduled to close on Monday, but it's been pushed back to either Tuesday or Wednesday. I can't believe we're going to be homeowners this week!!!! It's been a long process, so we are super excited that it's about to be over! I'll post pictures later this week, once we have the keys to the house. As ready as we are for baby girl to come, we're hoping she holds off until after we close this week.
Last night our good friends, Dana & Jessica, welcomed into the world, their newest addition - Gavin James.
