Still Pregnant

Oh, yes. Hello forty weeks & one day! I was hoping I wouldn't reach this day without a baby in my arms, but apparently she didn't get the memo. At this point I'm not too worried about her being late since she is showing some signs of getting ready. I'm a little dilated (only about 1cm) & she's way down in my pelvis (so much so that walking is difficult because of all the pressure). I suppose that for now, it's just up to me to stay patient & rested.

Unfourtunately, we have a bit of a sickness happening over here (ick). The boy has been coughing, aching & feverish for a couple days & my throat is rather sore. Fantastic timing, right? Hopefully a few days of rest with lots of vitamin c & fluids will get us back to feeling normal. I can't imagine being sick while in labour, so please cross your fingers for us.

I am really hoping that she'll come out this weekend, but if she decides she's much too comfortable on the inside I have a midwife appointment on Tuesday where we'll be discussing my past-due options. Thankfully I'll be able to try everything natural before anyone will suggest a medical induction at a hospital. I won't even bother worrying about that yet.

Thank you to everyone for being so supportive (these past couple days, especially). You're all so sweet sending me little messages & well wishes!

Hopefully I'll be reporting the good news soon. Until then, have a stellar Saturday, everyone. It's time for me to find some tea, toast, blankets & maybe a nice book to cozy up with.
