Sooo I don't know why I had it in my head I would delivery early! I am now 41 weeks and no baby Mark yet! However, I have an induction scheduled for tomorrow afternoon so the wait will soon be over :) So I thought I'd reflect on my pregnancy before the big day:
How far along? 41 weeks today!
Total Weight Gain: 30 lbs, still don't know where it is hiding though
Maternity Clothes: I have 2 maxi dresses I literally live in that I bought at Target last year, they aren't maternity but they are the most comfortable things in the world. I honestly don't know how I would have survived this summer without them!
Stretch marks? None! I guess I'll take him being late to having stretch marks too!
Sleep? Great until about a week and a half ago. Now I wake up every 2 hours from contractions to nervousness to who the heck knows why! But I was really lucky the whole pregnancy so I can't complain
Best moment this week: My girlfriends came to visit me Monday and we hung out and laid by the pool. It helped me to get my mind off things and put me at ease.
Movement: His kicks and punches are so hard for me to feel lately! There is just no room so I just feel a push or roll here and there.
Food Cravings: I didn't really have any- just that my love for sweets was amped up!
Gender: Team BLUE!
Labor Signs: Hmm some of them I just won't mention here haha! As of last Friday I was 3-4 cm dilated and 70% effaced. According to my OB his head is super low and it will only take a few pushes for him to come out- I hope she is right! I am having a lot of cramping all day long, but like 10-15 min apart.
Belly Button-in or out? Ugh OUT- so not ok and hope it goes back to normal afterwords!
What I miss: Wine, raw sushi, my old clothes, being able to drive myself around outside of town
What I am looking forward to: meeting my son! starting a new chapter in my life.
Weekly Wisdom: I have to agree with my friend Delia's response that people get a little nutty on your due date and afterwards. People are so fixated on the due date, when only 5% of women actually go on their due date! And I can't tell you how many text messages I have gotten that say "no baby yet?!". I'm like, uh no. But really I do appreciate everyone's concern and I KNOW they are just checking in to see how I am doing! So I shouldn't be such a brat....
