39 Week Baby Bump

How far along: 39 weeks

Size of baby: mini watermelon - 20.5in, 7.25lbs

Gender: GIRL!!

Maternity clothes: Yep, or workout clothes...mainly leggings, pretty sure I wore jeans only 1x this week!

Started showing: I'll let you decide this one...

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: Out...out, out, out!

Sleep: Not bad...some tossing and turning

Best moment this week: It's been a good week! Brock and I had a wonderful Valentine's weekend and Blakelee got to spend some quality time with both sets of grandparents! We also ALMOST finished the nursery...I promise I'll put pictures up as soon as our last things are hung! 

We had our Dr appointment on Monday. Everything looks great with Westyn...heart rate was strong 135bpm, my uterus is measuring super small but he says it's because she's dropped! We were pleased to hear that I'm dilated to "at least a 1"...so that's progress from nothing the week before! However, my blood pressure decided to be high. He had me do a 24hr urine sample and some blood work just to make sure I'm not developing pre-eclampsia. If for some reason the results come back positive we will probably schedule a repeat c-section to deliver the end of the week, unless I go into labor before then! If everything checks out fine then we will continue to just play the waiting game! I had contractions all day Monday that I was able to time...about 8-10min apart but didn't progress at all from there....and haven't had much go on since. Just waiting now to get results back and see where we go from there! Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated!

Movement: Yes, all the time!! Although, it has slowed down some...I think she's running out of room or resting up for her big entrance!!

Cravings: Still none

Symptoms: Heartburn here and there, braxton hicks all day, some mild contractions throughout the day, PSIS/tailbone pain, lots of pressure and groin pain!

Looking forward to: A relaxing weekend with our family of 3! Trying to soak it all in before we begin this new adventure! And of course can't wait to meet Miss Westyn!

Best moment this week: We had another appointment yesterday and everything going good! My uterus is still measuring small due to her being so low, her HR sounded great at 143bpm, and I lost 2 lbs this week...sweet! He did check me for the first time and I haven't started progressing at all yet, bummer! On Sunday our sweet bible study group surprised Brock and I with a little sprinkle for Westyn, we are so blessed to be doing life with these people! I'm also SO excited about Westyn's room!!

Thankful for grandparents that are willing to spend Valentine's weekend with Blakelee so Brock and I can get some time together before we add Miss Westyn!

Started showing: I'll let you decide this one...

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: Out...out, out, out!

Sleep: Pretty good this week!

Best moment this week: We had another appointment last Tuesday and everything is looking great! We also pre-registered and pre-admitted at the hospital! We're getting close to finishing up the nursery, very ready to see it all come together! We've had some pretty weather the last couple days and I've really enjoyed spending time outside with our sweet Blakelee....soaking in our last few moments with just Blakelee!

Movement: Yes, all the time!!

Cravings: Still no cravings

Symptoms: Heartburn here and there, braxton hicks all day, occasional contractions that are a bit stronger than BH but nothing that progresses, PSIS/tailbone pain, lots of pressure!

Looking forward to: A weekend full of beautiful weather! Hopefully between getting the nursery projects complete we can spend some family time outside this weekend! Also anticipating our appointment next Tuesday, excited to hear the heartbeat and see if I've progressed at all and hopefully get a better idea of when she may make her entrance! 

So, for those of you that don't know, I had to have a c-section with B due to her heart rate dropping during labor and pushing. At this time we are planning to attempt a VBAC with Westyn. Everything is pointing towards success at this time. There are so many emotions I feel going toward this, I'm excited/nervous/scared/happy...I don't even know!! Anyway, prayers would be greatly appreciated to keep both of us healthy through labor and that whatever is going to be the best method to bring this sweet girl to us is made clear, whether it's a repeat c-section or VBAC. I'm putting this all into God's hands and know that he already has his sweet and perfect plan for these next couple weeks!

Dr. seems to think it's because of her position and isn't too worried. We're scheduled to go back in 2 weeks for our next appointment and we will get a sono then to check her growth and fluid levels.

Best moment this week: I know I'm like 4 weeks behind but I'll just focus on this last week! Blakelee felt Westyn move for the first time this week, it was hilarious! I was rocking her before her nap and she was lying across my belly. Westyn was moving like crazy but I didn't say anything to B. She started giggling and I asked her what was so funny and she said "Wetyn siddy!" I asked her why she was silly and she started poking her belly, it was so cute!! We also just celebrated Blakelee's 2nd Christmas! It was so fun to watch her open her gifts and love on her new toys! Such joy! Next year will be even more exciting!
