So close...

How far along?: 39 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss:  +1.5 lbs this week, +33.5 lbs total. Clearly the healthy-eating thing from last week didn't stick around...
Maternity clothes?: Whatever fits at this point.
Sleep: Depends on the night, really. Some are decent, some are rough - last night being one of the rough ones...
Movement: It has certainly slowed down, but not in the alarming kind of way.
Labor Signs: Random contractions here and there, still nothing consistent.
Food/Cravings: Nothing in particular.
Gender: I've been going back and forth lately. So glad we don't have to wait much longer to find out :)
New w/pregnancy #2: Remember how I was crazy about getting my house spotless towards the end of my last pregnancy? Yeah, me neither. I wanted to bring my baby home to a clean house, don't get me wrong, but I had no desire to do anything about it (much to my husband's dismay.) Well, things are a wee bit different this time. I can't get this place clean enough. And I have the desire to do something about it...I just don't have enough energy to get it all done. I feel way behind, like I have tons left to do and no time to do it. (Of course, some of my list may be a tad bit irrational, as everything I see looks filthy right now. For example, on my list of things to scrub down before the baby comes is my baking cabinet where I store things like measuring cups and flour and chocolate chips. Something tells me that I could bring the baby home to a house with a messy baking cabinet if need be...)
What I miss: Feeling calm. Lots of nerves and anxiousness up in here.
What I am looking forward to: I just want to hold my baby...
Best moment this week: The baby stuff (cradle, swing, etc.) has emerged from the basement, the hospital bag has started to be packed, and Big Sister's car seat has officially been moved to the other side of the car to make room for the infant seat on the easier-to-reach-back-and-put-the-pacifier-back-in-the-mouth-while-driving side of the car. It's beginning to look a lot like Baby Time :)
Weekly Wisdom: It's partly fun and partly annoying when you answer someone's "When are you due?" with "one week" and they look at you like your water is going to break right there on their shoes.
Milestones: Single digits!
