week 40

40 weeks and my due date have come and gone.  Well actually today I am only 1 day past my "due date"  but it feels like way more.  I am just really ready to meet this little one who has been growing inside of me for this long.  I am thankful that I am not a miserable pregnant person who is "just done" being pregnant - I just want to meet this baby and find out if it is a boy or girl and snuggle it!  I have actually probably felt the best these past couple weeks than I have most of this pregnancy.  I attribute that to not working anymore.  My back no longer hurts (minus the occasional ache)  and I have not thrown up since starting my leave at work.  I have also managed to gain a couple pounds these last couple weeks.  I guess I eat more when I am not working and not throwing up!  Since I last posted I have had my baby shower at work and taken a few more weekly pictures.  Brett has been busy at school as well and I think those college students have made him a little sick.  I hope it doesn't progress to be any worse but he's got a sore throat at the moment. 

Weeks 36-40.  I guess I have a thing for striped shirts.  I do own some that aren't striped I promise.  And now we just continue to patiently wait for this baby to make his/her appearance.  My doctor won't let me go past 42 weeks but I sincerely hope I don't go that long.  I don't want to be induced either.  Just been doing lots of walking and sitting on my exercise ball.  Hopefully the next post will have some pictures of baby!
