Last week’s photo can be seen here.
Yep, I’m still here, and no, I haven’t had my baby yet. I’m not sure I want to keep taking photos each week anymore…
At my appointment on Wednesday, my midwife said I am about 50% effaced and only 1/2 to 1 cm dilated. So… basically not much is going on. I’m cramping all the time, and my lower back aches a lot as well. I guess this is productive!
It would be cool if she were born on Monday, since it is 08/09/10, but being born today would be even cooler since only 3% of babies are born on their actual due date.
Hoping before next week I have a BABY picture to post, not another huge belly shot! Thanks for your prayers for patience!
I never had a week 40 pic! lol keep taking them you look great every time. I do think 8/9/10 would be cool, but 8/6/10 is pretty cool too 😉 Blythe who i did pics for at her birth had her baby on his due date 🙂
I remember how hard it is to get to 40 weeks and go over a few days! Definitely praying for you. She will come on the day appointed for her birth 🙂
With my 3rd I went until 41 weeks;) Rest when you can, but I tried to keep walking and stuff after 37 weeks when baby needed to come to help everything alone;)
You look great! And try to enjoy the preggo feelings, I actually miss being pregnant and feeling the baby so close!
I agree that you look great! But I also remember how hard it was, with Shav, to be overdue. Each day felt like an eternity. And the anticipation! Whew, I could hardly wait.
I hope you’re able to relax and enjoy and give yourself grace during this last little bit of time before Baby makes her grand entrance. I’m so excited for you!!! 🙂
I just had to chime in. I’ve read about you on Drea’s blog. I can relate to being “overdue” now. I just had my 3rd last Tue and he was 6 days “late”. And that was according to my LMP…according to the ultra, he was over two weeks. My first was 10 days early. And my 2nd was within a day. So this time was so hard waiting. I had a ton of different emotions…I tried everything to naturally induce. I had to just let go and trust God. I have to say, I had the best labor and birth yet! God loves us and He knows our needs. My midwife did give me a pep-talk when I was struggling with being late. She said to continue enjoying my pregnancy. That day I put on a maternity dress I had yet to get a chance to wear. And I had a great day out with my family. I love being pregnant and I felt that the enemy was trying to steal my joy. Try to enjoy the last few days you have just as a couple. I know it’s hard. May God give you peace today and continued strength.
