40 weeks, 1 day

We took our picture yesterday before our appointment, where we learned he still has a great heartbeat and ideally positioned as well as in -3 station. We also found out I'm 2 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and  have slightly elevated blood pressure. I'll go back tomorrow just to get checked before the weekend. 

It's weird to pass the due date! We trust God's timing but still pray for him to come any minute :) (Seriously baby boy, the counters are confused. Come out)

How far along? 40 weeks (1 day)

Baby is the size of a: A baby :) or a jackfruit (18.9 to 20.9 inches long and about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds)

Total weight gain: 33 lbs (going with the doctor scale)

Maternity clothes? Wearing maternity clothes. So thankful for all I've been able to borrow! 

Stretch marks? Nothing yet. But slight linea nigra.

Sleep: Could be worse. I get up several times to pee, and the tingling hands make it hard to go back to sleep a lot. I feel pretty hefty when I roll over.

Best moment this week: Officially on maternity leave (taking a few days of vacation first).

Movement: Head down, with rolls and pokes. He moves a lot less, but passes the kick counts (sometimes barely).

Food cravings: Not really, but kinda coffee and oranges.

Gender: Little boy :)

Labor Signs: Swelling, congestion, and cramping. Lost at least a fair amount of the mucus plug.

Symptoms: Big belly (I feel like his butt sticks out more than it did), still pretty mobile but getting a bit of my waddle on, hand swelling/carpal tunnel, some in my ankles, baby brain, etc.

Wedding rings on or off? Off.

Belly Button: Pokes out and still soft.
