39 Weeks!

Ahhhh! I can't believe we are so close to meeting our little sweetheart!!! I'm still finding myself feeling a whole range of emotions at this point, as I am incredibly ready to meet our son and marvel at his miraculous existence, yet I also experience bits of nervousness about all of the unknowns. This truly has got to be the most humbling adventure of my whole life, as I am constantly faced with God's "bigness" and control over the situation. I'm just along for the ride. :)
Now that we are so close to the due date, all of the big baby prep projects are done, and I'm managing to fill my time with lots of miscellaneous cleaning, cooking, and organizing tasks. This past weekend, I talked Alex into being my sous chef as we prepared heaps of freezer meals for the coming months. Thanks to Pinterest, we were able to pull together 45 dinners' worth of crockpot and casserole dishes that are now inhabiting our deep freezer. Alex has suggested I/we do this every month…I'm still mulling that one over. :)
Here we are at 39 weeks:

This week's updates:

• Baby K is the size of a watermelon!!!!!!!! (that is INSANE to me!)
• He is probably able to flex his limbs by now!
• My belly has started to feel VERY itchy lately, which has prompted me to drink even more water than I was consuming before. This means water has officially become my most constant craving (though chocolate is a close second!). 
• As of today's doctor's visit, baby boy seems perfectly content hanging out in mama's belly, and my body seems pretty happy about it, too. All of our numbers look good, and if I haven't given birth by my due date, we'll be doing a non-stress test on Tuesday to help determine next steps. Will we share a birthday???? Time will tell…. :)
