39 Weeks With Baby D #2

Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 39 Weeks! 
Total Weight Gain:  30 lbs. The fact that my wedding rings feels tight and my face looks like a Krispy Cream donut I'm calculating that I'm carrying a little extra water.  I sure hope so because who likes to gain 5 lbs. in two weeks! Speaking of donuts....I had a whipped cream filled chocolate donut the other day....totally stinking worth it!
Maternity Clothes: Maternity shirts and yoga pants! I'm running out of t-shirts....some of them are not covering me enough anymore:)
Best Moment this week: Getting a few more precious moments at home with just Svea, Dan, and me. It will be so weird going from three of us to four.
Gender: Boy!
Movement: Still the same.  I had two times in the last two weeks where he's kicked me so hard it startled me and I screamed. Dan was with me both times and I think he thought I'd just lost my mind:)   
Food Craving: Turkey burgers, cereal, and not so many veggies anymore.  I wish I was:(  When I am up in St. Cloud I am so excited to eat at Chipotle though. Sugar is still my wicked enemy the last couple of weeks!
What I miss: Not having constant back pain, sleep, and being able to breathe.  I think I'm ready now for this baby to come! I am ready!
Sleep: I probably sleep well every other night.  I've had some major insomnia.  Now that I'm walking again I hope to every night so it helps me sleep.
What we are looking forward to: We made it to the 24th so now we are just looking forward to meeting our baby boy!  We are so excited to see him!
Symptoms:Movement, discomfort, a tiny bit of cramping here and there, and some "other" more personal signs that labor may be coming soon.  But, then again, it also could mean nothing!  Ha!
 Almost there!
