Still a major slacker....but still want to docment the END of pregnancy before Macyn gets here and everything is deleted from my memory and replaced with images and memories of her! 

I have had a rough end of pregnancy but very blessed that Macyn is still in there and full term now! (I am 39 weeks and 3 days today!) 

but for about a week now...I have been counting down the days even though there is no end in sight! =P

Even though I have been diagnosied with mild pre-e- I still continued to work until I was 39 weeks +1 day even though that night I was defiently feeling the wrath of it! My right foot/leg has been swelling to an elephant size and yes! I freaked out. Thankfully after a call to Shelly (my midwife) she assured me I was probably okay and just to sleep it off- it was better by morning, thank God! 

We got to see Macyn's sweet little chunky face on Jan 29th to see what she was estimated to weigh. They told us 7lbs 4 oz (at 37 weeks!) but midwife swears she will be a little bit bigger than that- guess we will see. 

39 week check up I think was the hardest so far. Was told I would have to be induced unless "by miracle" I went before my due date. He is inducing because of her size and my blood pressure because she hasn't dropped and I haven't dilated or effaced really (50% 1cm -- for 2 weeks now) 

I cried. =( I just want to have natural labor and birth! so sitting here at 39+3 I am praying she will come soooon! We pick a date on Wednesday on when to have her this weekend. 

Emotions are over coming me (and V too) knowing that this is our last week as just me and him. We are so excited that we will soon have a daughter but I know it is going to be tough! I just pray we are strong for each other and for Macyn. 

I think now the time has come- I am just worried she won't be perfect. Even though she will be perfect in my eyes no matter what- I want her perfect in everyone else's too! 

We will see though- def feeling "early labor" symptoms. Back is achy, crampy, tightness, pelvic pain GALORE (mostly on right side) and finally lost something lasting night! Now just praying she comes before Agrios takes her this weekend :( 

so yes- will I do this again? probably not. LOL I am amazingly blessed in having a text book pregnancy though- if there is a next time- I will not gain as much as weight and I will be sure to save $ for maternity leave!
