40 weeks... and I'm still pregnant!


How far along: 40 weeks, 3 days- hello due date (April 10) 
Baby is the size of a: Watermelon/ pumpkin/ life sized baby
Maternity clothes: We have been having +70 degree weather this week and I was not planning on being pregnant with warmer weather, so my clothing supply is very limited. And by very limited I mean 2 short sleeve shirts and a non-maternity dress that I have been forcing to make it work. 
Food cravings: Monterey Jack Cheese, my mom's Scotcharoos and chocolate.
Anything make you queasy or sick: Nope 
Miss anything: My pre-pregnancy weight.
Boy or Girl: Little boy!
Movement: Squirming and poking about. He has given Aunt Jen and few jumps and screams the last week with all his movement. 
Best moment this week: The beautiful weather and being able to spend every day outside.
Worst moment this week: Feeling like I am going crazy waiting for this babe to come. I wake up everyday and go to bed every night wondering if this could be the day or night. I never thought that I would actually reach my due date after being dilated and so far along already.
How have I been feeling: Physically, I feel great. Emotionally, I feel like I am going slightly crazy.
Other tidbits:
  • I am currently 4cm dilated and 80% effaced. 
  • I have an induction date set up for Tuesday- April 16th. I am praying that he can come on his own time and that I won't have to be induced. 
  • I have gone to The Biltmore 4 times in the past week and a half- it's tulip season and we have to make sure we don't miss them!
  • Still love not having to go to work. 
  • A friend of mine from work is now 8 days past her due date, so we have been fun texting and getting together discussing how we are feeling. It is nice having someone who is in the same boat. 
  • We are hoping that we will be in the hospital at the same time!
  • I finally starting having contractions for the first time ever on Monday. They were pretty faint and lasted for only 2 hours, but it was something. 
  • I had my last doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I must say that I will not miss getting weighed or peeing in a cup every week. 
Looking forward to: Getting this show on the road and finally holding our little boy.
Countdowns:
  • Days until past due date: 3 :(
  • Days until being induced: 3
