At 39 weeks pregnant, Baby Girl is the size of a watermelon, eeeeekkkk. She's probably somewhere between 6 to 9 pounds and 19 to 21 inches long.
She's developing more layers of fat to help her regulate her body temperature outside of the womb. Other than that, she's just chilling in there. She's obviously very cramped in there, I keep trying to tell her how much more space there is out here, but I guess I haven't been so convincing yet.
Not much different is going on with me this week either. I'm still walking, dancing, and bouncing on the exercise ball in an effort to get her to join us on the outside! My next doctor's appointment is on Wednesday, which is also my due date. The doctor told me that if I'm still pregnant and make it to my appointment that they will schedule an induction date for the following week. I really don't want to be induced because I've heard it makes for a longer more painful labor, but I also don't want to be pregnant forever so we'll see!
