39 week update

For those who have been calling, no I'm not in labor and yes I'm STILL pregnant. And to answer your questions:

Haven't been working out, even swimming is too much these days.

The baby dropped Wed. night. I actually felt it, it was weird b/c I didn't experience the feeling w/ Sable and from what I've read, the baby doesn't usually drop until one goes into labor on subsequent pregnancies. I couldn't move when it happened and then for a few minutes all I felt was a chin or an arm or both rubbing my bladder so I peed all night long and fell asleep just in time to catch some z's before Sable woke up with her fully replenished energy levels.

Things were pretty much the same; i.e., this pregnancy mirrored the first, until recently. The differences (and really, the biggest differences are SUMMER VS. WINTER, NYC VS. FLORIDA, CORPORATE AMERICA FULL-TIME VS. STAY-AT-HOME/WORK FROM HOME). Other than those three dramatic differences, here goes:

1. No numb right thigh like I had with Sable (5 mos. prenatal to 5 mos. post-partum)

2. I acquired a new habit in my 3rd timester: morning coffee most days of the week

3. Carrying lower, all body parts smaller except for puffy feet/toes/hands this time

4. Wore rings during labor for Sable; this time I have no choice but to wear them again...they're stuck!!!

5. Blood pressure remaining normal this time unlike 3rd trimester rise with Sable

6. Oh yeah, incredible heartburn with this one.

7. Thermostat wars with hubby (Since when has he ever been cold at night?)

No progression pics, sorry. A/C season is at its peak so my "photographer" has been sweating in attics til after I'm fast asleep.
