40 weeks and 2 days...

I guess Baby Boeke wasn't that excited about arriving on Valentine's Day.  Maybe she wanted Paul and I to have a date night before she came.   Our doctor wants us to wait until 42 weeks before trying to induce so we might have to wait a couple of weeks to meet her.  Hopefully she comes soon!

How far along? 40 weeks and 2 days

Total weight gain:  was at 35 but after the box of Girl Scout Thin Mints it could be more
Maternity clothes? same sweatpants, tshirts and jeans.  can't wait to wear normal clothes again!
Stretch marks? just the tiny ones on my hip. 
Sleep:  still not great but tylenol pm might be my new best friend.

Best moment this week:  dinner out at Bonefish for Valentine's Day

Miss Anything? running (although I am sure I will change my mind when I can again)wearing normal clothes, being able to bend over to tie shoes
Movement: lots of  movement most of the time.  I had a non stress test  and she wasn't moving at all until I drank some juice.  She went crazy so I think she is still doing okay.

Food cravings:  fruit, smoothies, thin mints, can't get enough ice
Anything making you queasy or sick:  spicy and/or fried food
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: some contractions.  feeling the nesting urge to clean, have food on hand, and be organized.

Symptoms: pretty much the same - heartburn, swelling in the feet, hip and leg pain, some sharp pains every once in awhile  (hoping this means progress)
Belly Button in or out?  still flat and stretched out. 
Wedding rings on or off? off.  I was walking yesterday on the treadmill and my hands started to turn purple.  I guess it was just a matter of time.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but tired.  Made it to the due date and it really can't be too long now!

Looking forward to: baby girl's arrival, seeing her with Paul, introducing her to family and friends
