Single digits!

How far along?: 39 weeks, 0 days
Total weight gain/loss: ???
Sleep: I wish I could explain how difficult it is to get out of bed. And our kids have had some really rough nights lately, so I'm up & down a half dozen times a night. Getting back in bed isn't a picnic either. There is one position that is comfortable and supportive enough, and it takes some serious effort to get all 7 (yes, 7) of my pillows situated just right. I'm out of breath by the time I finally get settled.
Movement: Definitely slowing down.
Labor Signs: BH contractions all the time, including almost every time I stand up. But, sadly, nothing real.
Food cravings: Anything baked with lots of sugar.
Gender: Joe won't accept that a girl is a possibility. Brooke secretly hopes it's a girl but keeps saying she thinks it's a boy because she likes to be on my "team". The husband is convinced it's a girl because he doesn't feel lucky enough to get 2 boys. And me? I really, really mean it when I say I'm not hoping for one gender over the other. I have loved raising a girl & a boy; both have their challenges, but both are incredibly awesome as well. All that being said, I really think Rocket is a boy.
New w/pregnancy #3: I've never had swelling late in my pregnancies before this one. It just started in the past few days, & I'm not so much a fan. I feel severely dehydrated no matter how much water I've had. Here's hoping this isn't a sign of things to come. I did have some killer swelling in my legs after I delivered Brooke. We're talking scared-my-husband swelling, took-pictures-or-we'd-never-believe-how-insane-it-was swelling. Really hoping to avoid that this time.
What I miss: Breathing while bending down to pick something up.
What I am looking forward to: The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter & brighter! Almost there!
Best moment this week: I did the first load of baby laundry this week. I may or may not have stood in my laundry room just inhaling that intoxicating Dreft scent. (I totally did.) Love it so much!
