39 weeks of belly love!

♥♥♥ IT'S THE WEEK OF HOUSTON'S DUE DATE!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥


We have, amazingly, reached 39 weeks! And even though I know the end is in sight, it doesn't feel like it in the least. While everyone around me has had their babies and I drool over pictures of their precious chubby cheeks and tiny toes on their mom's Facebook accounts, it doesn't feel real that I will ever be in their position.

As of my last doctor appointment on Tuesday, I was barely 1 cm dilated. No signs of labor whatsoever. Several people have told me that you will feel a surge of energy just before labor begins... I'm aware this is just a old wives' tale and not everyone experiences this, but I am beyond sleepy lately {not tired, sleepy} and I have no urges to nest whatsoever. The old wives' would say I'm no where close to giving birth to this child.

I am stilll working at this point, but only 24 hours total a week. The cut-back in hours has been a major relief to me. My one pet peeve at work lately has been the question.

"When are you due?"

When I answer, they act all surprise, continue with the questions and absolutely will not move on to the point of why they have walked up to my counter. All in the middle of a busy day with more customers piling up in line behind them and lots of prescriptions waiting for me back at my computer.

While I use to long for someone to ask me when I was due, I now dread it. I sometimes wish I could camoflauge the bump... but only at work. Ask me the same question at the grocery store and I'll positively light up. Ask me at the pharmacy and I'll give you the fakest smile I can muster =)

Hormonal much, Stephanie?

Here we are, 39 weeks and the first bump pic we've taken in the nursery... possibly the last?

Doubt it!

No stretch marks!

Thanks for the great skin genetics, momma =)

 

Do you spy with your little eye the puppy hiding in the carpet?

He loves this rug more than we do!




After posting the pics of the nursery, so many people had questions on where I got {fill in the blank}and asking me to break it all down for them that I'll hopefully be posting those details tomorrow.

Thank you for all the love you all showed me for our little room for our little love bug. I was floored by your sweetness {but not surprised, because y'all are always crazy sweet!}

Have a great start to a great week!
