39 weeks

39 weeks. 1 week left to due date. seriously?

Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.

We are so excited for you, little boy.
I still think you are one happy guy in there.
You just come on whenever you are ready. We can't wait to see your face, and come to know the happy, wiggly guy you are.

So far, I am still patient for when the time is right. After all, God already taught me much about His timing. <3

Thank you, Lord, for another day.

Cannot wait to see the post that says he's here:) I was thinking about Hannah in the Bible saying "For this child I have prayed" and thinking "Hmmmmm...maybe his name is Samuel":) Can't wait to find out what it is:)
