The end..... 40 weeks

The end is in sight...... I'm now 40 weeks!!!

How far along: 40 Weeks

Baby-related purchases: An E.aster outfit that matches his big brothers' outfits.  Two prints that have sailboats on them..... his room has kind of  a nautical theme.

Maternity Clothes: Oh yeah! I wear the same black pants to church each week. And I wear the same two pairs of jeans during the week. I'm pretty much over maternity clothes and ready to wear my "real" clothes again.  And if you notice, I'm wearing the same shirt in this photo that I was wearing in my 37 week update. 

Best moment this week: Getting all the furniture arranged throughout the house.  We moved LM's furniture into BB's room.  LM got a full-size bed and dresser to go into his room.  We don't have a spare bed in our house if someone stays the night.  Now, we do.  LM's room will be where an overnight guest stays.  I really wanted this done because my mom or my MIL will probably stay a few nights here and there due to TH's work schedule. 

Strangest moment this week:   My belly button "popped".  This has never happened to me before so it's kind of weird for me.

Movement: For sure! Movement that's almost so strong it's painful.

Food cravings:  Still on a fruit kick!

Gender: BOY!

Belly button in or out: Out!  As I explained in the Strange part.

What I miss:  Moving with ease.  Just little things I took for granted before my belly got so big. 

What I'm looking forward to: Having my baby boy in my arms.  Seeing my husband with his 3 boys.

Weekly Wisdom:  Letting others help when offered.  I'm a "do it myself" kind of gal, type A personality.  It's not easy to ask for help or accept it when offered.  I'm telling myself with 3 children and a husband that works the hours he does, I've got to do it!  We'll see if it actually happens.

I made the decision to be induced on my due date.  I've birthed two 9 lb babies so far.  This baby is on the same track.  I really don't want him to get any bigger so I made the choice to go in on my due date.  Today is the day!!! Wish me luck and say a prayer.  Next time you hear from me...... I'll be introducing our sweet boy.
