Tummy Tuesday- Week 39

Bet you thought b/c I was late posting this I was having Miss KP, not the case. I had my 39 week appointment this morning and thought I'd wait to see what the DR said before I posted anything. Well...I'm still at 1cm but he did strip my membranes today {TMI I know} and he predicts that most likely she'll be here within the week. He said my odds were 80/20 so I'm hopeful. When I asked if there was ANYTHING I could do to help this progress he said "have lots of orgasms", husband not included. OMG I die!
As for me this past week, I have realized why my mom only did this once. This past week has been very uncomfortable and this new found stretch mark on my tummy ITCHES and HURTS like a mother. Even the DR commented on how itchy it looked this morning, thanks doc. The humidity will NOT stop and no matter what I cannot get comfortable. I haven't gained in 3 visits now, WOOHOO! That's the only thing that makes me smile right about now.
Sleep has been bad but last night I slept pretty good and only got up once to pee {YAY!}. I officially sleep with 9349349734 pillows just to be able to sleep, not even comfortable. Oh well.
I keep telling Kendall how her swing, bouncy seat, crib, boppy, HELL even the car seat look like they'd be WAY more comfortable than my womb, guess she doesn't agree. Seems like she's perfectly content all nestled in there.
On with the good news...I AM ON MATERNITY LEAVE! WOOHOO!!! I cannot tell you what a relief this is. The very thought of going into labor at work made me want to have a Lindsey Lohan-esque panic attack. I know there is NO WAY to know when she's coming but the thought that I'll most likely be home, or close to home, makes me feel SO much better.
Kendall's movements have slowed down this week. I still feel her but she's definitely sleeping more. DR said she's getting into her outside the womb routine now and she'll sleep for 2-3 hours at a time right now.
Mr. Husband has been the sweetest. I know I have been a bear to deal with lately and he just takes it all in stride. I don't think I'd be able to bite my tongue as much as he has/does. I thank my lucky stars every day for him. When I asked if he was ready for Miss KP he said "there's no way to be ready but I know she's going to be the best thing that's happened to me besides you" *awe* heart melting.
Hopefully this will be my last TT pic...
