We are down to the final week, and baby shows no signs of wanting to leave!  He/she is quite comfortable.  I guess this is what I get for being 11 days overdue myself.  My next appointment will be next Friday (1 day after my due date) when I will have a non-stress tests to make sure the baby is healthy.  If everything looks good, we will probably schedule an induction for around 41 weeks.  We are hoping I don’t have to be induced, but at least we know this baby is going to be here in less than two weeks!

I have been having a lot of (mostly painless) contractions, usually in the evening and at night.  I’ve also started to swell quite a bit in my feet and my face (though Jason says my face is not swollen – but I think he’s just being nice).  The unfortunate part of the feet swelling is that now all my shoes are too small and rub my feet and give me blisters.  I really think I should be able to wear yoga pants and flip flops to work from now on!

Jason and I are very ready and very excited to meet this baby.  We can’t wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl and see what he/she looks like.  I can’t wait to finally put the tiny onesies, hats and socks on our baby and use all of the fun baby gear we’ve accumulated over the past few months.  But until then, we are enjoying our time together, since we know things are about to change forever!
