The final days (hopefully)

Hi all, quick update for the week. Nothing exciting has happened yet... fingers crossed for baby making her arrival at the end of this week!

How far along?: 39 weeks, 4 days
Total weight gain: Ok, I caved and got on the scale. Still hanging in the recommended weight gain range.
Pregnancy symptoms: Very tired. Difficult to get up off couch. Tiring to sit on uncomfy chairs for long periods of time. Other than that ok for being about 9 months pregnant.
Movement: Yes, still moving around, but much less frequently.
Food cravings/ weird crap I'm eating: Appetite seems pretty normal although I get ridiculously thirsty. Drinking a LOT of milk.
Gender/ names: Questioning one of our middle name choices... hmm...
What I miss: Easy mobility like getting off the couch without grunting and moaning.
Best moment this week: Lots of moments, like sleeping till whenever I want each morning! Actually, decorating our cute little 3 foot tall Christmas tree was really nice. We've been trying to collect ornaments from the cool places we've been - too bad we only started a year ago or we'd have a bigger collection!
Weekly Wisdom: If you buy a 3 foot tree and pose in front of it, you will look larger than you are (even for a 9 month pregnant woman) and your tree will look smaller. See photo to right for proof.
Milestones: Baby is ready to come out. Any day now, little one.
