Bumpdate 41 (yes, 41!)

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: Today I am 41+2.  Craziness!  J thought there was no way I'd make it to term.  I thought she'd be here for sure by yesterday.  Lol.  Apparently my breakdown at 37 about going another whole month was pretty legit.

Size of baby: No idea.  I refuse to get a horribly inaccurate weight estimate u/s done!  I measured 40 weeks yesterday. Fruit wise, she's been 'a watermelon' for awhile now.  ;)  we'll find out real weight & height soon enough

Weight change: -2 this week.  I've been bouncing between 212-216 since week 34.  Breaking 200 was rough but I've stayed within my goal of not breaking 215.  Technically still under the 35lb "recommendation."

Movement: baby girl is a rockin'!  Kick counts are usz completed in under 15 minutes... catch me before bed or before breakfast when I'm starving and it'll be under 5.  This chick loves her food! 

I always feel her in the same spots: hiccups in low low right, punches & kicks on the left mostly upper.  During our u/s yesterday we saw both feet And both hands squished up in the left corner.  Trying to figure out all those karate chops and pokes & rubs now makes sense.

Sleep: Snoring.  Tossing & turning.  Getting up to pee. Leaking primrose oil.  Contractions (some worse than others) That about sums it up. Its lovely.

Symptoms: my back feels mucho better! I think it helped a LOT when she dropped & lowered my center of gravity back low.

What I miss: margaritaaaaa.  Cant wait for one!  And delicious soft cheese. 

Cravings/aversions: at this point, nothing really.

Innie or outie: the top is still hanging on; it's the bottom that has given way!  Hahaha.

Favorite Moment This Week: passed our NST and fluid ultrasound with flying colors!  Even though she's late, agrees still thriving in there. Thank goodness :)

Worst Moment This Week: everyone frkn bugging me wondering if she's here yet.  Trying to hurry me and her up.  I'm trying to stay calm, cool, and collected and its driving me batty!  Yes, they're excited.  We are too.  She'll come when she damn well pleases- I have no crystal ball!

Looking Forward To: seeing her cute little face.

Daddy update:  J is pretty anxious.  At night, every time I roll over or get up to pee, he wakes up to make sure everything is o.k. Poor guy is looking tired already between that, my snoring,  and entertaining his parents.
