HDBD

How Far Along: 40w

Total Weight Gain: I've lost track, but I think it's close to 30 for a total at this point. Eh, not bad really.

Maternity Clothes: Yep, but I can still fit into some of my non-mat t-shirts

Sleep: Insomnia is still there. I think it's more stress than anything else at this point. I really wanted this little one to make her appearance before Christmas, but that doesn't look hopeful. I'm guessing she'll make her debut sometime over the weekend, so I'll miss Christmas gatherings and end up with the OB I don't like.

Cravings or Aversions: Nothing really

Best Moment This Week: Not really the best moment, since that would entail this girly to come out on her own, but an end date is in sight. Eviction procedures will commence one week from today.

Movement: Constant and crazy.

Gender: Girl.

Labor Signs: LOTS of Braxton Hicks, but no real contractions. A quicky internal said about 2cm and soft, but the head is still pretty high.

Belly Button in or out: sort of out.

What I miss: Not constantly thinking about the time of the arrival vs Christmas gatherings.

What I'm Looking Forward to: meeting this little girl

Weekly Wisdom: Make plans, and life happens

Milestones: Done

What the baby is up to:
Happy due date -- you made it! Since 40 weeks was the deadline you set for baby, you’ve probably already made sure the bassinet is made up, the car seat is installed and your hospital bag is by the door. Now, do some little things you might have forgotten, like making sure your cell phone is fully charged before you go to bed and the car is filled with gas. Some moms-to-be also choose to put a waterproof mattress cover on their bed, just in case their water breaks in the middle of the night. It’s not a must-do, but it’s not a bad idea either, especially because once baby comes, there might be other messes on or around your bed. Week 40 can be mentally rough, since you’ll probably be constantly wondering when baby will decide to finally make his entrance and question every twinge you have. Try not to stress, and rest assured that baby will arrive when he’s ready -- and your body will give you the right signals that it’s time.
