I usually write these posts throughout the week so that I can remember what I want to say, but I really didn't want to write this one so I started it later than I've done with any of them, in the hopes I wouldn't have to write it. Hopefully it will be the last one I write.
So it's my due date today, and baby isn't here yet.
So it's my due date today, and baby isn't here yet.
How far along: 40 weeks
Baby Size:
Weight: Still hanging out right around the 35 lb gained mark.
Symptoms:
Maternity Clothes: I have very few tops that fit, and only stretchy skirts and pants. Anything else just feels tight on my belly.
Sleep: Wednesday night I was up every single hour, Thursday night I didn't fall asleep until after 3am, Friday night I was up every 1 1/2 hour which I consider a good night. Rob asked me how I function. And that's why I sleep in until 10 am every morning.
The last few nights I actually slept in 1 1/2-2 hour stretches again, which like I said is a good night for me.
Cravings/Food Aversions: I can't eat much anymore. And usually only foods that would be classified as 'light' if that makes sense. I've been eating a lot of apples lately though.
And apple cider. Warm apple cider. Living in a big apple growing area has perks. I had been wanting apple cider for a while but it was $5 a gallon. Finally I just broke down and got some because I wanted it.
Belly Button: Out
Rings on or off: Off
Gender: Girl
Name: Eleanor Rose
Movement: She doesn't move much anymore which freaks me out sometimes. She's most active late in the day so naturally I'm nervous by that point.
Stretch Marks: I don't think I've gotten any new ones.
Best moment: I guess making it to my due date. Being able to say I made it 40 weeks is kind of cool, but at the same time I would have been okay saying I made it 39 weeks etc...
Looking forward to: Her being here and getting to hold her.
Nervous about: Labor, needing an induction
What I miss: Bending over, walking without pain
Labor signs: Contractions that I don't know if are real or fake. I tried making Rob have sex with me but it didn't do anything. I also tried walking around and that didn't get anything going either. So I don't know what is going to get her going.
Appointments: Thursday. If I'm still pregnant then they will do a non-stress test since I will be past my due date.
Misc. I got my first "Are you having twins?" comment over the weekend. 3 days before my due date. I thought I was going to be safe from that. When I said no then I got "you must be really ready, you look ready"

Being overdue is the worst! I will say that it's true what they say about contractions, though. I kept wondering if I would know when they were real. But I definitely knew. They were way more painful than uncomfortable. I hope she comes quickly!! (Oh, and no natural induction method ever worked for me!)
ReplyDeleteGood luck whenever she decides to come!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you do your pregnancy updates. I've just started doing some of my own but they are no where near as detailed as you have yours.
ReplyDeleteawe... I feel you... I went through that with my first - due date came and went... HA! Baby will come... goo luck
ReplyDeleteI understand--I was nearly two weeks over due with both of mine!!! HATE the twins comment!! She'll be here soon =) GOOD LUCK!
