How Far along: 41 weeks.
Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit! Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz. I hope he's wrong!)
Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!)
Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom.
Gender: B-O-Y
Movement: He has been back to his super active little self this week.
Best Moment of this week: Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house. Also, the 3 day weekend! We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway!
Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy. I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet. But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders.
Food cravings: Still pineapple! So yummy! Especially when it's refrigerated!
Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Nope!
Symptoms: My beautiful little sausage toes and feet/cankles. Waddling!
Dr. Appt: I was fully a 3 dilated, and 70% effaced still. Stillllll. And then he said that he was possibly being generous saying 70%. This sealed the deal on baby boy getting a chance to come on his own. By the time this is published, baby boy will be here, so I'll go ahead and tell: We're going in at 8:00 p.m. tonight (May 27th) to begin our induction. I really don't feel happy with things going this way at all, but of course know that we'll do what we have to do to get baby boy here safely. It's just not how I envisioned the process at all.
Workouts: We've been walking our driveways in the evening... hoping to kick start things!
What I miss: Nothing much!
Things that stink: BBS not showing signs of being motivated to come out at all. Having to get induced. All of the above.
Things that don't stink: Knowing that we will meet our baby tomorrow. Although, I still think that's a little scary!
Labor signs?:Nope. See above!
Mama's Thoughts: I feel defeated because I haven't gone into labor on my own. What else can I do, though? Exactly. Absolutely nothing. I'm just praying that BBS's birth will be as natural as it can be.
Daddy's Thoughts: Zach is doing his usual thing where he is my calm. He says he is so excited to meet baby boy.

Baby:
He has no idea he's being forced out tomorrow!
