39 Weeks Along!


Yesterday we hit the 39 week mark. Only one more week until the due date! I'm still feeling good, but do feel more pressure now that Charlotte has dropped. I get tired more quickly, but I'm still able to do things like making it in to Nashville for a birthday lunch for one of my former co-workers (happy 30th, Angie!). My patience is running a little short (I just about lost it last night when the idiots at Lowe's couldn't seem to figure out how to charge us for the new storm door), but I thought I showed amazing restraint when I woke up to find that Duke had eaten ALL of the banana bread I made last night. Anyone who knows how much I love banana bread will find it phenomenal that I didn't murder Duke right there on the spot.

BabyCenter.com doesn't have anything very interesting to say about Charlotte's development at 39 weeks:

Your baby's waiting to greet the world! She continues to build a layer of fat to help control her body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. The outer layers of her skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
