D-Day.

Well, we've hit our due date. The little baby on the countdown over on the right side of the blog is going to fall off the page soon. I'm not quite as sad as I expected today; it's bittersweet. While I'd love to have my precious baby to snuggle with, I'm finally at peace with the idea of giving her one more week in there. It's just me and her right now; after she comes out, I have to share her with the world. So I'm going to try really hard to savor these last few days :)

How far along?: 40 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss: +2 this week, +25.5 overall.
How big is baby?: Big. No real way to know for sure, but since she's coming a week late, I'd imagine she'll be over 8 lbs (hopefully not over 9...gulp.)
Maternity clothes?: Ditto last week.
Sleep: Inconsistent.
Movement: Maybe a little slower and less frequent.
Labor signs: Still nada. But here's what the husband and I were discussing the other day: we're all rookies - me, the baby, and the uterus. None of us know what the heck we're supposed to do. How is my little one supposed to know it's time to come out now? How's my ute supposed to know it's supposed to start spazzing out on me? I mean, we're not exactly experienced here.
Food Cravings: I can't wait for Christmas day. Egg souffle for breakfast & Honeybaked ham for dinner. Brilliance.
Gender: Almost time to find out :)
Belly button in or out?: Flat-ish.
What I miss: Nothing really.
What I am looking forward to: Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Best moment this week: Being given a light at the end of this long tunnel.
Weekly Wisdom: Pregnancy is great for your bowling game. We celebrated the big day today with a couple games of bowling. Why not try to bowl this kid out, you know? Anyway, bowled the best 2 games of my life. This bowling ball under my shirt provided the perfect amount of balance, apparently.
Milestones: Due date day! It's so hard to believe that this day is here. Even harder to believe the baby isn't. They really should give women a 2-week window instead of one specific day. If they had said I was due "between Dec 16-30", it'd be a heck of a lot easier to wait one more week!
