How Far along: 40 weeks. We made it the whole time!
Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit! Around 7.5 lbs. I have never heard of a jack fruit.
Weight loss/gain: 28 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Thankfully everybody who sees me tells me I am so lucky that I have gained it all in my belly. I think I have to agree that's where it all is. Sadly, that is the exact spot I always have trouble losing it! (<-- again="" br="" ditto="" this="" to="" week="">
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: I think he has slowed down a lot this week, but he is still moving plenty when doing "kick counts."
Best Moment of this week: Resting at home and getting as "ready" as we can for BBS. Making it to 40 weeks and feeling like I have completed this pregnancy to the best of my ability! Zach's birthday and finishing our old house so the renters can move in. Even if we got home Friday morning at 12:35 a.m.! Poor Zach was exhausted at work the next day! Our friends, Jacob and Jenna, had their baby girl on our due date! She was due June 1st, but apparently couldn't wait any longer!! We can't wait to meet her once baby boy gets here!
Looking Forward: Meeting our son and seeing Zach with him. Hopefully having this baby on his own! I am not sure it's going to happen, though!
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.
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.
Things that don't stink: We still have some time to get ready for BBS! Also, getting to sleep a little later than normal. Also, getting to take naps when I feel like it! (ALL still true this week!)
Labor signs?:Nope. Again, we really don't feel like we're moving in the right direction here, which is so disheartening because I don't want to be induced. We're going to give it our best shot, though!
Mama's Thoughts: I am definitely right! Baby is going to be late, just as I suspected all along. I also am getting a whole lot more nervous about how things will be once he's here. I know we'll adjust and it will be "the best thing ever," but for right now I just am waiting to see what he's like! : )
Daddy's Thoughts: Zach is so ready for BBS to be here. He told BBS that he is allowed to come now that the rental house is finished!

Baby:
He is happy hanging out! Clearly! ; ) He doesn't want to come out yet!
