Pregnancy Update: The Final One

 Pregnancy Update: THE EVE OF WEEK 39/JOHN HAYDEN'S BIRTHDAY!

Size of baby: it's anybody's guess now! I predict 7 1/2 lbs. We'll see how accurate I am!
Weight Gain: final total comes out to 36 lbs. A little more than I was wanting it to be, but it's not 50, so I'll take it! 
Movement: their movements are supposed to slow down some at the end, but he hasn't really, although they are smaller movements with less kicking (because I'm sure there really isn't any space to kick now).
Sleep: I've been fortunate to be able to sleep pretty well for most of this pregnancy, which is good since I'm about to be sleep-deprived!
Symptoms: My back and feet haven't hurt as much these last few weeks, which is odd. Maybe I've just gotten used to it? Anyway, still have some swelling in my feet. Have also had some contractions and pressure, but nothing consistent. And, I have to use the bathroom pretty much every 5 minutes. Literally.
Cravings: Sweets in cake-like formats (like donuts, cupcakes, cake, Little Debbies) and ice from Sonic.
Best Moment of the Month: Counting down the days and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! My work also threw me a little lunchtime baby shower, which was incredibly nice. My boss's wife made a delicious vegetable lasagna and everyone gave us gift cards to help finish up the last minute buying.

And, now, a final look back at all my pregnancy pictures (click on them to make them larger):
