Well, this little girl is officially late. Yesterday was my due date. I had woken up at 2:30 in the morning with some low stomach pain, so I thought that maybe she was really ready to come out. I fell back asleep and woke up in the morning with no additional pain.
The doctor told me last week that if she doesn't come out on her own, they'll induce me on the 31st, which is 9 days late. I really don't want to have to be induced, so I'm keeping fingers crossed that she comes out on her own.
We're trying to keep busy so we don't give ourselves too much time to just sit and wonder when she'll make an appearance... Going out to dinner, wandering around stores, watching movies, etc.
Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

Single Digit Countdown
I can't believe it, but I'm down to 9 days until d-day. I have to say, I was sure I was going to deliver early, which I know is still possible, but I thought I would have had her by now.
I know she'll come out when she's good and ready, but no one told me how hard the last few weeks/days would be. The anticipation is torture.
At my doctor's appointment on Tuesday I was still 1cm (same as last week), but now 75% effaced (up from 50% last week). I've been having some strong back pain and it's become very difficult to walk. Sometimes I feel like she's trying to fall out of me.
I can tell she's still getting bigger, I actually saw her arm wipe across my belly the other night, that was really cool.
The doctor hasn't made any estimates on how big she'll be, I think at least 7 lbs. 4 oz.
The grand total on weight gain is 35 lbs. - I lost a pound in the last week so I doubt it will go over 35 lbs. No wonder it's so hard to walk and move!
My next doctor's appointment is on Tuesday, so we'll see what the update is then.
