Week 39

Happy Thanksgiving!  I feel like I am definitely baking a turkey inside my belly!  We have so much to be thankful for this year!  Most of all I am thankful for Jeff...without him, we wouldn't be where we are today for so many reasons.  He is my rock and makes life so much brighter!
Words can't explain how much respect and amazement I have for pregnant women reaching the end of their term!  Whoa....it is a true test of durability and stamina!  I am ready to crawl out of my skin from discomfort...all worth it though!  We are reaching the end of this journey and I couldn't be more ready!  Doc says that the baby is really high still, and that because my hips are so narrow the baby may not be able to get down the birth canal.  He also said that he is happy right where he is with three meals a day and a warm hot tub to sleep in! 

Week 39 updates...
