39 Weeks and still pregnant

How Far Along: 39 weeks! 7 days until Casen's due date! At this point in my pregnancy with Cooper I was at the hospital being induced.


Size of baby: Casen is the size of a watermelon (19 to 22 inches and 6.5 lbs) This estimate doesn't mean anything at this point because Cooper was only 6lbs 4 oz at 39 weeks.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 33 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Yes

Gender: Sweet boy Casen Andrew!
Movement: Yes
Sleep: Pee twice a night now. I still shift from hip to hip and last night I was having contractions during the night.  But obviously they weren't too close together or strong because overall I slept through them.  But I am very tired today!

Cravings: Blue Bell Fudgesicles! Yum! Chipotle, burger from Rodeo Goat, fiesta dip, lots of spicy things, banana pudding milkshake from Chickfila which is not in season right now so I don't get to indulge in.
Symptoms: Lots of contractions but they don't stick around.  At times they have been as close as 6 minutes apart, but after a bit they just stop.  I know sometimes the contractions have to do with me needing to eat. Other symptoms that aren't consistent but I have dealt with this past week are my back hurting, hips hurting, bloody gums when brushing my teeth, swelling, thirsty.
Best Moment this week: It is very exciting waiting to see when Casen will arrive.  I like not knowing and the build up. 
Hardest Moment this week: The fact that Casen hasn't arrived.  I am ready for him to be here.  I am ready to be off of work.  I am tired of the contractions. I am not miserable just anxious.  So whenever he decides to show up I am ready at this point.  Kyle is still hoping we make it to June 10th.  If I could sit at home and do nothing then I might be up for that.


Next Appointment: Due to the holiday I have to wait until Wednesday for my next appt.
