This could possibly be the last Ultrasound of Little Miss Nelson before she is here...
Now that is CRAZY!
We actually were able to get a picture of her this week at our Ultrasound. She has a little dancer bicep showing if you know what you are looking for. I don't know what it is with this child but she loves the duck lips. Hopefully they stay as a pose and not used for kissing boys till she's 35 years old.
How far along are you: 39 Weeks
Dialated/Effaced: 3 cm and 75% effaced to 80%
Total Weight Gain: I gained about 2 more pounds this week so it would be 15 lbs total so far. I had a heavy coat on when they had weighed me.
Stretch Marks: Nothing yet. I do have some pain on my left side mainly because she doesn't sit anywhere else but on my left side.
Sleeping: I have been able to sleep fine with only having to get up to go potty once a night. It really hasn't been to bad. Although I realized my arms fall asleep and become numb a little bit.
Best Moment This Week: I have still been coaching and going to dance. Although I have cut back on moving mainly because its painful and well I can't do a whole lot of stretching with this bowling ball in the way. But I was really bummed at watching the dance girls turn so I made Alexa do a turn combo or two with me. It was great to turn again. I came home to show Kelly the video of us turning... he was anything but happy. He was like "I told you to not dance and blah blah blah.." Well sorry dear I couldn't help it. I look a little funny with the belly and I am totally not balanced completely but it was fun to turn at 9 months pregnant. You may even be surprised that I can still do the splits, it actually feels good to sit in them since my hips are getting tight and tense sometimes.
Little Miss Nelson is going to come out knowing how to turn and she is going to find this years dance music soothing more than likely since she has heard it a ton.
This week I also used a gift card that Kelly gave me for Valentines Day. It was for Massage Envy. I hadn't used it because I wanted to make it worth something. Well a prenatal massage was totally worth it! I loved it. It was the best hour. I can tell that I haven't had as many back pains and it made my attitude better about still being pregnant. I called Kelly and told him how much I loved it and how I want to go back once a month. He laughed and said you have had that gift card for over a year and you now are in love with massages.. Sound about right!
Contractions: Sunday was pretty bad I couldn't walk very well and was definitely waddling. Monday & Tuesday was fine. After the doctors appointment today I have felt a lot more contractions but they aren't up to what they should be to rush to the hospital quite yet.
Cravings: I got a frosty with Kelly tonight and Nala hitched a ride with us. I was very excited to have Ice Cream even though its 20 degrees outside and its suppose to snow tomorrow. Also Kelly got us a Chicago Style pizza for dinner this week. It was delicious. We also stopped at Fiiz drinks on the way home from Grandma Smiths.
Labour Signs? I have noticed that she is shimmying down lower. Now if she would like to just make things move along a little faster.
Happy or Moody? impatient. I am getting to the point where I am sick of being pregnant and I am sick of being asked so are you still pregnant, is it going to happen today, are you at the hospital... I understand the excitement that everyone has but this little girl inside really isn't wanting to leave quite yet.
Looking Forward to? I am hoping that my doctor is somewhat correct and that she will be here before our next appointment. He seems to think that its any day now.. But I don't know if the baby thinks that.
We have talked about how we are going to spell her name, all of the insurance stuff and Kelly has asked me several times if I have a bag packed for him. He also has shown that he is nervous for the time when we are sitting in the hospital.

| On Sunday in between 38-39 weeks |
Since I haven't had to go to work the last week it's been nice to be able to clean the house, work on things for the babies room, read a bunch of blogs and of course watch Studio 5. But we also have had our lazy moments.. more than I would like to admit too but look at how cute this puppy is.. ignore the fact that I don't wear make up hardly ever now.
