39 Weeks/ LAST Bumpdate!!!!

Cant believe that as I write this, our precious little girl will be here in less then 24 hours!! So many emotions! anxious, excited, nervous...you name it! The bags are packed (minus a few small items we need to grab on our way out the door), carseat installed and ready to go, and the house is cleaned from top to bottom ( thank you SO much Cindy for coming over yesterday and helping us  cleaning our entire house ! we love you !) 

Today we decided to do absolutely nothing, be super lazy and not leave the house and its been wonderful! Started out with yummy homemade breakfast sandwiches ( our favorite) then my mom came over for some football and also yummy bbq ribs and brought her famous mac salad and some brownies ( this was wonderful...because who knows what I'll be eating for the next 3 days in the hospital :( ) my Uncle Bryan, Aunt Judy and cousin Jessie also stopped by today to pray before the big day tomorrow which was SO sweet of them!! I've been so nervous lately and Uncle Bryan's words always have a way of calming you down. Love him! And now I'm sitting here, soaking up these last few precious hours with my baby girl in my belly ..feeling her kick and roll and stretch all over. I will miss feeling her kicks...I feel like I've been pregnant for so long that my belly is going to feel so weird empty! But I am secretly looking forward to sleeping on my stomach again soon and not being in so much pain all the time. Anyways, I figured I would do one very last bump date along with this post because the next time I blog it will be all about baby girl's grand entrance and of course LOTS of pics !!

BUMPDATE:

How far along: 39 weeks today!

Gender Prediction?: GIRL

Baby is the size of?: A watermelon! a very big..very odd shaped watermelon ! so very curious to see how much she really does end up weighing! 

Weight gain: 45-50 total. :-( Don't judge.

Maternity clothes: Yes yes yes. My Grandma Sue actually stopped by Thursday afternoon and brought me lunch and the sweetest box filled with so many soft/cozy maternity&nursing clothes from my favorite place ( The Gap ) that I can wear in the hospital and for the days after. It is so wonderful receiving gifts for baby girl...and it is also wonderful when the Mama gets remembered too. Thanks gram! 

Stretch marks: Yes. Damn damn damn. 

Belly button in or out: Out! 

Sleep: Not good at all...and I keep telling myself I am going to go to bed early tonight and get a good night sleep and be well rested for tomorrow. NOT gonna happen. How is one to sleep before an event such as this??? Have to be up at 4:30 tomorrow so hoping I am able to get a little something..as I am well aware SLEEP is no longer about to be in my vocabulary :( 

Best moment this week: Chris and I had our very last date night on Friday night! Tried a new ( to us)  Italian restaurant called Dominics on the Lake...and it was FANTASTIC.Although I didn't see a lake anywhere nearby... I already can't wait to go back. Of course as "Matteson luck" would have it ( it is true...Matteson luck is such a thing and it rubs off on the people they are married to/dating) Chris' dinner was totally wrong so they had to re-make it, someone took my chicken parm so they had to make that over, and worst of all..they were out of cannolis. BOO. Oh well, the food was SO fantastic it was worth the headache. Plus, we're used to the luck and it was super busy.

Also received some canvas prints of two of my favorite pictures from our maternity session for the nursery! 

Miss anything: Being able to walk, bend, sleep, drive...without being miserable. Hopefully that all goes away very soon!!

Movement: Again..she is all out of room and I am feeling her in all corners of my belly!

Cravings: Nothing too specific this week. The usual fresh fruit/ water. Also been craving chipotle. There is one across from the hospital we are staying at...I think I'll have Chris make a run while we are there! ;)

Queasy or sick: Lots of pain/pelvic pressure. Heartburn is terrible. Nausea has been good this week!

Looking forward to: TOMORROW! I get to meet my Daughter and finally kiss, cuddle and love on her all over!! the day is finally here and we are so so so excited!!

Just wanted to say thanks everyone for reading/keeping up and putting up with my million facebook/instagram baby posts daily until this point!! I bet your glad its over....

just kidding....its about to get ALOT worse!!! ;-)
