Week Thirty-Nine

August 26, 2013 by Aliesha

Home stretch, y’all!  I just have between a few days and a couple of weeks to go!  (Probably closer to 2 weeks, but that’s still close!)

I’ve been enjoying time with my darling girls and savoring the time I have with them before the baby arrives.

I’m drinking raspberry leaf tea, taking evening primrose oil, walking, and sitting on my exercise ball.  I even played a game of ultimate frisbee over the weekend!  I’m feeling good for the most part, and the last couple of nights I have gotten good rest.

I think if I went into labor tonight, I’d have everything “ready,” but I still have some things I’d like to accomplish before he arrives.

I have an appointment with my midwife tomorrow.  I feel like I’ve dropped about an inch over the last couple of days, so maybe that is progress!

Thank you for your continued prayers for our baby’s safe arrival!

    You look positively lovely at 39 weeks! I’m so happy for you! Enjoy your children, your family, and the whole wonderful blessing of bringing a new life into this world and into your family. I think you all are terrific parents and a real blessing to your children.
