39 Weeks - Still Pregnant

We are 39 weeks today. Our boy continues to grow and get stronger every day. We are so ready to meet him, but he seems to be taking his sweet time! We have had a rather rough two weeks, which has made us feel all the more ready to meet our boy. 2 weeks ago I fell and broke my ankle, and banged up the opposite knee pretty badly, so now I am in a boot cast. Thankfully I am healing and able to get around some now. I wish I could walk more than a little bit so I could encourage Levi to come on, but, I am doing what I can. I have also been feeling "yuckier" and "yuckier" over the past week or so. I am showing some signs of pre-eclampsia, and still have my tachycardia. The tachycardia has been confirmed that it will not clear up until sweet Levi is born, and the pre-eclampsia is something we just have to keep an eye out for. We are so thankful that our little boy continues to thrive, but Mommy is ready to feel well again!

So this is what I have to say to little Levi:
Sweet boy, while I will greatly miss the fact that right now I can protect you from the rest of the world, and I will miss feeling your little kicks and punches (especially how you always give me a few taps when I start to worry that I haven't felt you in awhile!), I am ready to meet you face to face! Daddy is so excited to meet his boy, so you should hurry up and start making your appearance!!
Love, Mommy

How far along? 39 weeks!!!
Maternity clothes? Oh please. Even those are starting to get too small at this point! I'm HUGE!
Stretch marks? Yep. Sadly, I did not escape without them, but that's okay!
Sleep: What's sleep? I am up all the time at this point between the bathroom, pain, and contractions. I am at least able to get some naps in, which helps.
Best moment this week: Feeling Levi moving around for a good 20 minutes or more last night - it felt like he was trying to break out! Arms and legs every where!
Miss Anything?  I miss not feeling like a slave to my body. I am ready to feel "well" again.
Movement: Oh, he is still a little wiggler! And he gets stronger every day!
Food cravings: Can't say I have been craving anything in particular lately, especially since my nausea is back.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I pretty much feel that way all day long at this point.
Have you started to show yet:  Ha!! I'm super huge!!
Labor Signs: LOTS of contractions! Beyond that...no new signs.
Belly Button in or out? Still in! Looks like it may not become an outie at all!
Wedding rings on or off? They are pretty much in a drawer at this point. I don't wear them around my neck in case I go into labor.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I am not in a bad mood, but I am not particularly "happy" since I haven't been feeling well.
Looking forward to: MEETING OUR SON. He needs to get more excited about meeting us and come on out!!
