39-week doctor's appointment Baby 2

David and I went to our 39-week doctor's check-up appointment this afternoon.

I'm still pregnant, and the doctor was surprised that I still was when we showed up to our appointment today.

My blood pressure was 112/64 and the baby's heart beat per minute was 142 bpm.  I weighed 144 pounds (no shoes this time on the scale).

Both mom and baby were healthy.  It was an uneventful appointment, but a good appointment.  My goal is to work at least through Friday morning, so that my maternity leave is exactly how many days that I planned it out to be.  I'm okay with keeping the baby in my body until Friday, and then he came come out anytime this weekend.

Otherwise, we are scheduled for an induction at 5:30 AM on Monday, Feb. 29th if I do not go into labor naturally with the baby boy before then.

My belly feels extremely stretched, and I don't know how much more it can expand... I just imagine my belly as a giant balloon and if David took a pencil and touched my belly, it would pop and the baby would jump out.  I am almost ready for the baby to come but not quite... give us a few more days, and then we we'll be as ready as we'll ever be for the 2-3 hour periods of sleep, and constant craziness between caring for a newborn and chasing around an energetic 18-month toddler girl!

So, for right now, we plan to meet the baby boy a week from today on Mon. Feb. 29th, unless he decides to make a surprise early appearance!

Below, David and I picked up Reagan from Day Care early at 4:30 PM when our 39-week doctor's appointment was surprisingly short!  She became very excited when she saw Daddy walk through the door to the toddler room.  Lucky girl!  She got to leave school early for the afternoon!

We stopped at the Edwin Watts golf store so David could fix some clubs for a client.  We also played with the putters in the practice putting green in the store.

 After, we went to Noodles for dinner with David's parents, Papa (Fred) and Nani (Nancy).  Reagan loved her butter noodles dinner and she ran around the restaurant and even showed off some dance moves after she became much happier with a full stomach!

It was still early in the evening, so we went to Target to show for some new pajamas and a bath mat for our guest bathroom.  We found a Minion hat among other fun things to play with at Target.

Finally, here are my 39-week "bump pics" before I took a shower to close out the day.  These may be the last bump pics of this second pregnancy, which is a little bittersweet for me.  While I feel uncomfortable in this last week, especially since I haven't been past this milestone 39-week point yet, because Reagan was induced at exactly 39 weeks in July 2014, I know that I will miss it and I'm not complaining about any of it.  This second pregnancy was a lot smoother than my pregnancy with Reagan, and Reagan turned out perfectly.  We are eager to see what this little boy is like!

I'm showing bare belly pictures below because I just can't believe how much it really does look like I have a basketball under my skin, so I wanted to share pictures to show this unbelievable image.
