39 weeks and 3 days. Feeling really good (just tired and suddenly none of my clothes fit, haha!).
Lots of naps and enjoying the relative quiet.
Baby will come when baby is ready to come. I'm enjoying every moment and knowing that fat babies = happy babies. I'm more than happy to keep cooking this little one.
Love to you all!
xoxo
You look so beautiful! I'm so very happy for you and excited for this next chapter of your family's story.

Awwwwwwww.... I am seriously excited though...

Happy,happy to see your post. You look so lovely with a soon-to-be a new mama's glow!
I cooked all three of five longer than two others (1 came 3 weeks early and other on his exact due date). So much better to do it naturally when they are ready to come on their own. I am so excited for you and your family! (((hugs)))

I was going to comment on how content you look in the photo. Your words confirm my thoughts exactly. Best wishes for a smooth delivery and a healthy baby!

You look amazing! You can't even tell by looking at your face that you're pregnant. I always got the lovely preggo nose in the last few weeks! I remember following your blog when Lucy and Cate were born at a time when I wanted to add another baby to my family so bad and my husband just wasn't on board...and now here you are awaiting baby number five and the third baby I wanted so badly is currently 14 months old and keeping me busy and filling our lives with joy. Babies are the best. Good luck, mama! I'm so excited for you.

You look amazing! Getting close....I remember the mix (I really didn't mind late pregnancy, I'd take that over the months of vomiting anytime) - content enough to let 'em grow inside me, but anxious and excited to meet them!
