Today, I am 39 weeks pregnant. I am large and in charge by now. I don’t have much to say here other than Andrew and I are pretty much ready to go. Furniture is set up, clothes and cloth diapers are pre-washed, and the hospital bag is pretty much packed and ready to go. I am feeling even more relaxed because today I decided that even if baby isn’t here yet, I will be done working next Tuesday. The knowledge that I only have four more days of work is very comforting.

Today Andrew also bought me my “push present.”

I thought it was quite fitting. And it’s pretty sweet that he is already giving me kudos even though labor hasn’t even started.

I’m not really one to post belly shots, but here is a beautiful phone picture of my large belly. I do think pregnancy can be so cool. Just the thought that there is a full-grown baby in there right now is astounding.

Have you heard the old wives tale that if a pregnant lady has a lot of heartburn, the baby will be born with a full head of hair? If we go by how much heartburn I’ve had just in the last two days, I’m going to be able to ponytail this kid’s hair when it is born.
