The little man must have dropped a little, because this was 38 weeks, in which I swear I look bigger:
So either way, let's just call my figure "ample." Can we agree on that term? Even my wrists are beefy. I feel like I'm cutting off my circulation just by putting one of those big ponytail holders around my wrist.
I had the great fortune of renewing my drivers license two weeks ago. Probably got a few eye rolls on the "weight" section of my application. Also, looking at the pictures side by side (my last drivers license photo was taken last year when I legally changed to my married name) is a little comical. My eyes are so much smaller now and so much closer to the middle of my head. Also, suddenly my eyebrows are way too skinny for my face.
This too shall pass?
So a little note on my progress. Without grossing you out too much, nothing has happened in three weeks and we scheduled an induction for Monday. On Wednesday of this week, I started getting strong, regular contractions and they haven't let up yet. Some are stronger than others and some are longer than others, but they're never close enough and/or long enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. So, we stick with our induction plan. Our instruction was to go when contractions are five minutes apart and a minute long. So far, if they're 5 minutes apart, they're 30 seconds long. If they're a minute long, they're 10 minutes apart.
Memo to my body: make up your mind!
If I could jump on a trampoline right now, I would, but I think it would hurt too much, just judging my how painful it is to simply climb into bed or (shudder) roll over in bed.
Last night I woke up six times in eight hours to breath through contractions/go to the bathroom. Six times in eight hours! I have been pretty lucky so far and had a fairly easy pregnancy: no sickness, limited swelling once summer ended, only sporadic heartburn and sciatica, and pretty good skin. I figure at this point I'm just ramping up my weeklong labor, which I believe started on Wednesday.
We can't wait to meet this little guy! A couple weeks ago the doc did a short ultrasound just to check out fluid levels and stuff like that. And don't worry, he is a cute one (and I mean the baby, not the doctor)!

You look so good! My goodness! Can't t to see pics of this little guy! Good luck- its stressful and crazy at first, but it gets a little less stressful and a little less crazy by 2 1/2 months :) That's all the advice I have... Lol

Holy cow you are still tiny and CUTE at 41 weeks!! I know how you feel, I went 41 weeks with my first too and went into labor a few hours before my scheduled induction and still ended up getting pitocin since my days worth of contractions apparently weren't doing a dang thing! Good luck little momma, it's almost over and then the real sleep deprivation begins! Woo hoo!!!
You look so cute!
oh my gosh! i hope you get to meet him soon (and might i say you look fabulous for being 41 weeks pregnant, holy shit!)
