39 Weeks: 1 week to go...we hope!

Miss V. is now about the size of a mini watermelon! She's still quite comfy in my belly, but we'll keep everyone posted on when the time comes! The walk-a-thons have started, as I try to walk 2-3 times every day. I feel her lower, but then I look at my belly in the mirror and she still looks fairly high. Who knows, maybe she is just playing games with me. She definitely has a mind of her own and will come when she's ready! :)

I'm getting loads of comments from strangers, family and friends alike- "wow, when are you gonna have that baby already?" or "are you having twins?" or "goodness you are huge; you've really filled out!" Gosh, everyone knows just how to make a preggo lady feel beautiful! At 39 weeks pregnant, all a preggo lady like myself wants to hear is "you're beautiful and you've done such a great job taking care of yourself and baby!" Well, my husband tells me these things; so maybe I should just listen to him! He says I look so big just because I haven't gained a lot of weight elsewhere. I know he has to say it, but I chose to believe his words, true or not! :)

Everything is packed for the hospital and Joel assures me that he has his cell phone on him at all times! Now, we just wait! Patience is not always my best trait, but I know that Virginia will be worth all the waiting! :)
