There's something about the words "due date" that make you think it's the ultimate deadline. I've quickly learned, however, that about 40% of pregnancies go beyond the due date, particularly with first-time moms. THIS is what the doctor should have told me, rather than reminding me "it could happen any moment now" weeks ago. So, here we are at 40+ 1 day and let me just say that I totally love being 9 months pregnant. In fact, I didn't *really* want a baby...just a 9-month-pregnant belly, so I am just thrilled to be heading into my 41st week.
40 weeks pregnant - don't I look excited!?!
I meet with my doctor on Tuesday and he'll update me on any progress. Our back-up plan is to induce me at 41 weeks, so at least Cammie will be born by July 30th, worst case scenario. That's if I don't jump out a building within the next week!!
On a positive note, we finally got our new shutters put up in the nursery, so I posted some pics below of the finished product.
^^ Mike painted the little Chibi Zoo characters on the canvases.
^^ New shutters! And we put up baby pics of Mike and me.
^^All that's missing here is a baby!
Anyways, I'm trying to keep busy and fill my days, so please feel free to call me, visit me, go on long walks with me, etc. =) Our next post will be Cameron's birth announcement, so wish us luck!
I just realized you are wearing heels (ok, wedges) in that photo. That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe shutters look amazing!
