39 weeks!

happy st. patrick's day! 

what’s new with baby: according to my app, little olivia is just over 7 pounds and about 20 inches long! she's continuing to put on fat and is ready to meet the world! come on baby!!! 

what’s new with mom: mom is feeling quite ginormous these days. i've gone into "let's get this baby out!" mode this week - meaning i've tried eating spicy foods, gone on several walks, and bounced on my exercise ball a lot. so far nothing has worked and i'm getting quite inpatient. don't get me wrong, i'm glad olivia likes it in there, but come on. everything went great at the doctor's on monday - my blood pressure was fine and her heart beat was normal. and my ankles have even returned to their normal size this week! i've continued to nest like crazy - meaning i've re-cleaned stuff i cleaned earlier in my nesting phase and gotten even a little more psycho about what is dirty. at least my house is clean! 

wardrobe:

cravings: hmm... i can't think of anything particular. despite filling up faster i have continued to be quite hungry! 

anything hard? definitely the waiting game at this point. i'm quite the planner by nature and i love to know what's coming up next and have my schedule figured out. you can't really do that with a baby! i had really hoped that i would have gone into labor naturally by this point, even though i know that it's not uncommon to go late, especially when it's your first baby. all day i kept telling olivia that st. patrick's day would be a fun birthday, but she hasn't listened. so that's where i'm at. we'll see what the doctor says in the morning! 

best moment(s) of the week: hmm... this week really hasn't been too eventful. lots of cleaning and organizing and a couple good naps. i was definitely excited to get the nursery all finished up at the beginning of this week! and a had a great time hanging out with friends on saturday and josh and i had a fun little date on friday (which ended with UK losing in the SEC tournament - don't they know olivia has a tiny little UK hat to wear!?). and i got an awesome package in the mail from mindy, who crocheted olivia the most precious blanket and little booties. how talented is she!? i can't wait to see those little booties on olivia!
