Me: Everything ok?
Him: Yeah, it was just a calendar reminder. Your due date is in 10 minutes.
Me: Um, thanks.
Him: I set it 8 months ago.
Me: Awesome.
Yes, friends, we have made it. SHOCKING that I'm not going to have this baby on time, isn't it? I'm okay with it right now, just praying that it doesn't last much longer. I can't say I've been this calm about it all week...there may have been tears before, during, and after my appt on Monday. (Yep, even before. I knew she wasn't going to tell me what I wanted to hear - that I was ready to be induced this weekend - and my emotions got the best of me before I even went.) But I've been tear-free about it since, so that must mean I've entered the they-won't-make-me be-pregnant-forever stage of thinking.
How far along?: 40 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss: Didn't gain anything this week, which is incredible considering how much ice cream I've had.
Sleep: Started out the week with the lovely pregnancy insomnia and just assumed it was here to stay. But, thankfully, the second half of the week was filled with decent nights of sleep.
Movement: The munchkin is still trying hard to move about and stretch out. Swift kicks to my pelvic bone are the norm.
Labor Signs: We commemorated Due Date Eve with a trip to the Reds game last night; Baby Reeder showed his appreciation by giving Mommy contractions throughout the entire game. Super fun! So yeah, lots of BH contractions, but that's about it. There have been a few other things that have made me think "Oh, maybe this is a labor sign" but I'm pretty sure it's all in my head.
Food/Cravings: My body seems to reject any food that isn't made with a lot of sugar after 8 pm.
Gender: Almost time for the big reveal!
New w/pregnancy #2: Packing a bag for the Big Sister's stay at Grandma's house in addition to our hospital bag. Both bags are ready to go!
What I miss: I could use a beer.
What I am looking forward to: Having this baby! C'mon, baby, let's not hit 41 weeks, okay? Crossing my fingers that we schedule an induction at my OB appt tomorrow (even if it's not until next week, I just want to start planning!)
Best moment this week: Reaching my due date. It just makes the end seem that much closer. I will be holding my beautiful little baby in my arms in just a matter of days, no matter what my body seems to think!
Weekly Wisdom: Sooo not wise today.
Milestones: I'd say hitting my due date is a pretty big milestone, wouldn't you?
