39 weeks... and some change

This has been the most. awesome. week. ever.

Seriously here's what I've done this week:

Monday - Putzed around the house, cleaned up our bedroom and HUNG the curtains (that have been just laying over a gross curtain rod for the last year and a half!), played with the kitties, got a chiropractic adjustment, went to Target (where I walked for 45 minutes), got a mani/pedi, picked up some groceries, napped.

Tuesday - Putzed around the house, went to yoga, installed the car seat, got lunch, went to the bank, napped, picked up Ben and went to our midwife appointment (where we learned we're 30% effaced and a little bit open, but Ruby needs to slide on down), went to Pasadena for a lovely dinner and to see Gesine at her reading!

Wednesday - Did some laundry, went for a good walk at the lake, then went to the pet store to stock up on kitten food, hardware store to get painting supplies, Trader Joes for a mid-week re-stock, came home and Sarah and I primed the walls in Ruby's room, then went to Brian's for a yummy dinner. (I will admit I kind of over did it on Wednesday).

Thursday - slept in until almost 9 am! Putzed around, cleaned the heck out of the kitchen, swept and tidied the living room, made the most delicious salad for lunch, napped on the couch, then putzed around some more while Sarah got started on painting, did more laundry, cleaned up the bathroom, napped a little bit more on the couch, made & enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my handsome husband in our backyard!

Today's agenda: the plumbers are coming to install the dishwasher (yayyyyyy!). I'm so excited about it that I made them brownies! Sarah's coming by to work on Ruby's mural... and I have no idea what I'll do this afternoon. Maybe go for a walk or do some yoga. Definitely a nap at some point! Always with the naps!

Here's the weekly update:
How far along? 39 Weeks.
Total weight gain/loss: Lost 2 pounds. heh.
Stretch marks? Not going anywhere, but they seem to be fading? Or I'm getting used to them...
Sleep: in two hour increments. Then up for 15 - 60 minutes, then a lovely stretch of sleep from about 6 - 9 am...
Best moment this week: Painting the walls in Ruby's room!!! It's so pretty!
Movement: Lots still and now she seems to be moving on demand - how nice to have such an obediant child already!
Food cravings: Was really craving sugar for a couple days, but now I just want cold things... ice water, popsicles...
Gender: Girl.
Labor Signs: Still some B-H contractions. And we're 30% effaced. Davi checked me on Tuesday and it was NOT FUN. Tres uncomfortable and I bled - blech. Totally normal and she seemed excited that I was a little effaced, so that's good.
Belly Button in or out? In but occasionally it bulges!!!
What I miss: Ben - I'm home by myself a lot and I really miss him during the day. Can't wait until both of us are home together.
What I am looking forward to: Sleeping on my stomach again someday.
Weekly Wisdom: Ask for hep - people really want to give it.
