39 Weeks

Preston is the size of a watermelon... WHOA

Preston is ready to meet the world. Just continuing to fatten up. His movements have slowed a lot since he officially has no more room to move, but he is still active enough for me to know he is okay.

Here's what he looks like in there:

Cramped and uncomfortable. Me too, bud.

My contractions have really picked up and we have been timing them, but they are never close together enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. My body has broken out into an awful rash called PUPPP. It is totally unbearable. I've been using steroids and topical treatments, but the only real cure is delivery, so we wait. I constantly pray to go into labor. Last time I went to the doc (Tuesday 1/25), I am still fully effaced and was 2.5 cm dilated. I am so over pregnancy and so ready to be a mom. The discomfort in having a huge stomach, the itching from the rash, and the painful contractions are enough to make anyone go crazy. I take comfort in knowing that at the most, I only have 5 more days of this and we can finally meet our son.

This is our last Saturday as Brian, Cami and Brother. It is a BEAUTIFUL 65 degrees and sunny here in Memphis, so we plan to spend some time doing a few chores, going on a long walk, and spending some time on our new screened-in patio. :)

Here's what I look like at 39 weeks:

39 down, 1 to go!!!!!
