39 weeks...still pregnant!

Okay, so I know that I am being a bit dramatic and a little impatient...but look at this belly! Trust me if you were carrying all this around you would be ready to give birth too! Just saying...
I know what you are thinking, so I'll go ahead and answer some of my most asked questions...
Yes, I can still fit behind the wheel of the car.
No, I'm not carrying twins. (even though this is a very reasonable question considering my size)
I would assume that the reason I am so large is all the water I am retaining. Hudson was a 10 pounder, and I wasn't even this big! Do you see my belly button...that is a first for me. I am very swollen and really uncomfortable. The doctors have checked everything out and it's just water retention. I have been trying to just stay off my feet and get as much rest as possible. I was really hoping to go a little early, but those kind of things are out of my control despite the foot rubs and eggplant Parmesan.

Some positives are that my mom is off this week, so she can help me get groceries and take care of the house. Baby Isabelle seems to be doing well and has great movement...I mean who wouldn't! My next appointment is on Tuesday so we'll see about inductions and such.
Thanks for checking in with me...I plan on having the computer and camera with us at the hospital so I can keep the blog updated.

Alisia! That belly is gravity-defying!!! I think it should go down in a Pregger Belly Hall of Fame! ; ) How the rest of you still stays so tiny is amazing!!!

She's coming soon! Hooray!
