39w2d and still going :)

Well this baby has met and exceeded our expectations for staying in the womb,
Might even go all the way to 40 weeks we'll see. I've always wondered how big/healthy a 40w newborn would be for our family. My 1st came at 37 weeks (12:57pm) 6 lbs 2.2 oz, 2nd at 39w2d (12:30am) 8 lbs 6.2 oz, and 3rd at 39w1d (1:59am) 8 lbs 1 oz.

Some days are still going well with little pain and discomfort, other days are pretty rough with lots of joint pain and exhaustion. Never know what kind of day I'll have. But I do know baby is still growing, active and healthy, and that's all that matters.

My prayer that I would ask you all to join me in is that baby will come 'whenever baby is ready,' though at times I wish it was NOW I know it's best for babies to come when they are completely ready :). I've had a couple of 'false' starts that have made us wonder if baby was ready, but so far they've just been a tease, the real deal is still to be looked forward to.

Thanks for all the prayers, support, and encouragement.
