All looked good at our u/s, Nst and appt. Little man seems to be content to stay a whole longer so we've given him an eviction notice!
If he doesn't come tomorrow on his own, he's being kicked out in Friday! :) While I'm not too keen on induction, it's time and we are anxious to meet this little guy. Plus my doc is in and out all next week, so it makes sense to do it when we know he's available.
I don't think I'm nervous... Yet. Just excited to get on with the next stage of this journey :)

40 weeks +
I'm really, really, REALLY hoping this is my last weekly update ;-) We will see at my appt later today!
Belly #2 (taken last night)
Belly #1
So here's the comparison pics:
Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 40 weeks (plus a few days)
Size of baby: Baby #2 is about 21 in long (about the size of a small pumpkin) and weighs about 7.75-8 lbs.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Haven't been weighed since my last update, but I think I'm up another lb? So overall 35 by my score and 37 by the doc's (that's my story and I'm sticking to it) ;-)
Clothes: maternity dresses mostly
Gender: still a nameless Team Blue.
Movement: I'm noticing he does a TON of moving about 8pm, more than any other time of day.
Sleep: It's been okay. I'm still taking unisom every night, but hopefully those days are NUMBERED!
What I miss: Seeing and being able reach my feet. I totally need a pedicure!
Cravings: sweet stuff again. I've been making a ton of zuchinni bread (or as B calls it- "bikini cake" since people keep giving me gargantuan zuchinni. It's helped ease the craving ;-)
Symptoms: Heartburn, sciatic pain and numbness down the front of my left leg, CONSTANT cx- mostly BH, the linea negra finally popped up, but it's much more faint this time around. I keep getting this really weird nerve pain on the inside of both legs in my groin area. I assume it's because little man is sitting in a weird spot.
Moment this week: Nada. I'm just ready to give this kid is eviction notice!
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting this little guy.
Milestones: Made it to my EDD and then passed it right by... 41 weeks officially tomorrow. Wish me luck? Oh, also I had a birthday last week... LOL that counts as a milestone, right? I can't even tell you how much I hoped little man was going to make his debut that day!

Quiet weekend
Yep, still here and pregnant ;) sorry I haven't gotten a 40 week update out yet. I haven't been able to get batman to take a pic, but hopefully tonight :)
We had s pretty low key weekend. B and I spent Friday afternoon with my mil and her friend at Art in the Park which is annual thing for us. Lots of vendors with great handmade stuff :) all a bit overpriced of course, but it was a fun 3 hours of walking and enjoying the weather :)
Saturday b and I laid low after swim lessons (batman had drill all weekend). We played at home, watched lots of football and kept our feet up.
Sunday we went out to the base for family day! We look forward to it every year and it didn't disappoint :) good food, lots of free goodies, bounce houses (even if they were in the fuel barn), it was a blast :) too bad it's only once a year lol
Yesterday was a down day and we almost always have a lazy day since batman worked the weekend. Yesterday was no exception. We played outside, watched movies and snuggled, played games and spent time just the 3 of us. I have a feeling it was our last really good "just the 3 of us" time.
Our appt is tomorrow at 1 with an u/s and nst. Wish us luck that little man is ready to come out ;)

Update: no update
Yep, that pretty much sums up my appointment. No change from last week- still just about 3cm and about 80% effaced.
I was all set to schedule an induction for Monday and/or have him strip my membranes, but based on his (and Batman's lol) recommendation we just scheduled an u/s and nst for Wednesday. Which I will probably make it to.
So here I wait impatiently. I guess it gives us more time to figure out his name.
I'll post a 40 week update and pic here in the next couple days.

I'll update if there is anything to update ;)

Vent :-/
I'm so ready to be done! Can't this kid come out already!? Sorry to be a complainer but this go 'round I'm in pain and impatient and tired of waiting and just D. O. N. E.
Yesterday I tried anything I could think of (barring castor oil... Won't go that far) and I got a good couple hours of cx- post nipple stimulation and sex-that I thought were doing something, but they petered out by bedtime :( I tried ginger tea (per my grandma) red raspberry leaf tea, the above including a pretty good *ahem* O ;) spicy food, walking, the list goes on. And nothing. :( I'm tired of being pregnant and I want to meet this little guy already!!!
Can I get some labor vibes or prayers?

38/39 weeks
Welp! I'm down to the last few updates (hopefully!)
Here's belly #2 (sorry for the cheesy smile)
Compared to belly #1
Pregnancy HighlightsHow Far Along: 39 weeks
Size of baby: Baby #2 is about 20 in long (about the size of a mini watermelon) and weighs about 7.25 lbs.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was only up 1 lb both this week and last so overall I'm at 36 by their scale (I think) and 34 by mine
Clothes: Mainly dresses these days since my belly is big enough that shirts don't seem to cover everything
Gender: Team Blue.
Movement: Still makind his kick count "quota"
Sleep: Bad this last week even with meds. Brynna has been the culprit more often than not though. I wonder if she's growing again?
What I miss: Life before pregnancy. I'm so ready to be done at this point!
Cravings: none
Symptoms: Heartburn, sciatic pain and numbness down the front of my left leg, CONSTANT cx- mostly BH I think!
Moment this week: I'm up to 3+ cm dilated this week! Not sure on effacement but i was 70% last week so i assume at least that much. I'm making progress :) I'm thinking my doc is expecting sometime this week as he made sure to give me his card to have him paged if he's not on call (he didn't even bother when I had B). Yesterday I timed cx and they were anywhere from 3-10 min apart pretty much all afternoon. Still not really anything that feels like it's doing anything (aka not painful by any means), but something may be going on? We'll see. Please send labor vibes ;-)
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting this little guy.
Milestones: I guess I missed a few over the last couple weeks- more stretch marks- BOOO!! and swelling enough that I had to remove my wedding ring (DOUBLE BOO!) almost to my EDD :)
Hoping my next "weekly" update will actually be a birth story!
