Do I want to post this picture? Absolutely not. I’m exhausted of looking like I have FIVE CHINS, but you know? I’m doing it. For documentation. So that the readers won’t try to stake me on a poll & burn me for withholding. BECAUSE I AM UNSELFISH. & because the combination of my facial expression & posture screams, “Nate, just take the picture already” as I was running off to a work function. p.s. don’t my mums look AWESOME?! I’m doing a bang-up job with them this fall.
How far along? 40 weeks.
Total weight gain: 46 lbs. ::dies::
Maternity clothes? oh, indeed. But I think from this point on, I will stick to jeans & tshirts, even at work.
Sleep: I took an amazing 3-hour nap yesterday. & then slept 9 hours last night (although I woke up 4 times to pee).
Best moment this week: Feeling 100% ready for him.
Movement: yep, but slowing down. NST shows everything is perfect, though.
Gender: boy!
Labor Signs: 1cm, 50% effaced, lost the mucus plug.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: Skinny-girl sex.
What I am looking forward to: Meeting this kid!
Weekly Wisdom: Just start smiling & nodding your head to all the crazy stuff people say in that last week. Don’t try to argue with those absolutely insane Old Wives Tales. & when your male boss asks you about your progress, just ::blank stare:: at him until he realizes he’s asking you about your vagina.
Milestones: We hit our due date! Holy crap. I’m due today.
