Pregnancy: Week 39

Apologies for the delay in posting...my computer has had a meltdown apparently caused by the motherboard so I have limited access at the moment. Anyway, today is officially my due date and the beginning of week 40, but we can catch up on week 39 since I am still pregnant and we are still waiting for baby girl to arrive.  According to my emails, at week 39, the baby weighs over 7 pounds and is over 20 inches in length, the weight of a mini watermelon.  She is almost ready to come out but must still be working on her lungs since she is still in there!

This picture was taken Wednesday, my last day of work.  I was able to wrap everything up and transfer my cases and at a certain point it seemed saner to have a last day instead of going in and having people say, "you're still here?", stating the obvious in the nicest possible way...So we are trying to keep busy and enjoy some down time before baby girl's arrival. I am continuing to feel good and get my workouts in, and trying to sleep in when I can since I know my days are numbered.

We had a quiet thanksgiving together and I was able to have apple pie, which I was worried I would miss if I was in the hospital on thanksgiving--yum!:
I have also been sewing to stay occupied and made some more decorations for the baby's room:
 I made these flags with the leftover fabric from the bird mobile and we hung them so the baby can see them from her bed...it is nice to have some more color in the room.  We are very excited to meet the baby but trying to be patient for her to arrive when she is good and ready!
