40 Weeks

Yesterday was Baby Boy's due date.  Apparently he didn't get the memo.  I'm still pregnant and swelling more by the day.  I didn't think it was possible to put on weight so quickly.  This morning I learned otherwise.  How exactly does one put 4 lbs on in 10 days?!?  Seriously, I keep expecting to find stretch marks on my hands and feet they're so big!  Ha.  How sad would it be if I survived this entire pregnancy with no stretch marks on my belly, just my hands?!  HA!

I discovered this morning that my husband's wedding ring (2.5 sizes larger than mine) is almost too tight.  I laughed so hard when I discovered that!  My ankle bones are gone and my feet look like two pancakes.  The only reason I've maintained my sense of humor these last two weeks is because my wonderful doctor and the deadline she offered.  My body is making NO progress towards having this little boy anytime soon... so Thursday night I'll head to the hospital and hopefully Friday morning the induction will begin.  WOW.  We're really having a baby!

So this week will be spent cooking and finishing up little things around the house.  My mom and aunt are here and waiting.  Justin had a silly grin on his face that said "I'm smiling but on the inside I'm freaking out."  Only a few more days until we have this Baby Boy in our arms!

You look great and the end is in sight! He is your child, you know, and I'm sure he'd like a rather dramatic entrance! :)
