39 weeks

How far along: 39 weeks

Baby's size: baby weighs about 7 pounds and measures about 20 inches long (like a mini watermelon)

What baby is up to (according to Babycenter.com):
Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth.  The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.

Symptoms: difficulty sleeping; cramping; contractions come on and off; lots of pressure

Total Weight Gain: 33 pounds

Best moment since last update: we can now say the baby's room is complete - target finally had our final purchases.  we also purchased a special piece of pottery for the baby's room :)

Movement: yep!

Food cravings: fruit, milk

What I miss: sleeping through the night; getting up and down easily

What I'm looking forward to: going into labor!
