41 weeks, the last week of being pregnant!

"It seems like your baby has opted for a late checkout, quite a popular option judging by the numbers. Fewer than five percent of babies are born on their actual due dates — and around 50 percent decide to overstay their welcome in Hotel Uterus, thriving well into the tenth month. Remember, too, that most of the time an overdue baby isn't overdue at all — it's just that the due date was off. But your baby isn’t just lounging around in there, waiting for his big day. His endocrine system is getting ready to produce stress hormones (you aren’t the only one who’s stressed!), which he’ll need to survive outside the womb."

How far along? 41 weeks. Holy moley I'm feelin like a preggo elephant this is going on so long lol! ;)

Maternity clothes? Goodness yes.

Sleep: So far so good this week... other than just being in pain when I get up to pee multiple times a night.

Best moment this week: Spending time one on one with hubby and probably just knowing this is the week we meet baby. Yes being induced still worries me a bit but I just can't wait to see and hold our little guy!

Miss Anything? So much... still. Haha mainly not having a belly/ being comfortable once in awhile.

Movement: Lots of kicks/ stretching on my ribs and right below. Pushing out on my side and lots of hiccups and movement in my pelvis.

Food cravings: I want smoothies and toasted tuna fish sandwiches almost every day haha

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not lately.

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: Nope, just signs it's near. Mainly lately the pressure/ache in my pelvis is the biggest sign.

Symptoms: Hip and back aches, round ligament pain, pelvic pressure/aching....

Belly Button in or out? It is pretty much permanently poking out just a bit in the center.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but SO IMPATIENT!!!

Looking forward to: Baby's arrival! So looking forward to the first touches, kisses, cuddles, pictures.... I had a moment of realization as we were watching one of our favorite tv shows that the next time we watch it we will be home with baby. SO EXCITED!!!!
