40 weeks

7. jul

40 weeks have come and gone.  sigh...

BABY'S SIZE     a watermelon!  20 ish inches and 7 ish pounds.  

HOW I'M FEELING     now i'm ready.  and baby doesn't seem to be.  taking its sweet, sweet time.  if that's what it needs, it can have an extra few days I GUESS!  

WHAT I'M EATING     i had a chicken salad sandwich and mckalister's and i CAN NOT stop thinking about it.  it was sooo amazing!  also, i really really really just want to drink coke.  with ice.  through a straw.

HOW I'M CHANGING  my brain is ready.  my belly cannot possibly budge another centimeter.  and my patience is being stretched to unthought of boundaries.

MOVEMENT     baby is moving a ton.  i did acupuncture this week, because they say it helps induce labor naturally.  throughout each entire appointment baby was just wiggling and wiggling away.  so apparently it does something!  the acupuncturist told me that the belief is that if acupuncture doesn't induce, they most definitely do not induce labor, because that baby is meant for greatness and it is very very bad to change that baby's stars/astrology.  the future looks bright for this baby of ours.

SLEEP     how can i sleep when there is a chance that baby could come at any minute??    

THINGS THIS WEEK     this week has been dedicated to doing all the things that will help get me ready to deliver baby.  walking, bouncing on a yoga ball, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, eating dates, the list goes on.  so far, nothing.    

LOOKING FORWARD TO     baby.  that is all.

FUN FACT     lungs are even more developed and super prepared to get breathing.
