At a Halloween Party 40 weeks ago ...
... dressed as Wilma, my Fred and I created a Pebbles and today is her due date!
Now I knowdue dates are really pretty arbitrary, so I'm trying really hard to not have expectations, but after three bouts of MAJOR practice labor - the last one being yesterday for two hours, five minutes apart - its hard not to be excited! But, both my Mom and Gramma carried for 41 weeks, so this could continue for a while!
I've had a very easy pregnancy, with little to no issues at all, and at last check Wednesday, doctor says I am not dialated at all but she's measuring a little over seven lbs and could come any time. My next appointment is this coming Friday, but he doesn't think I will make it that long. We'll see ...
My only major issue was that a week and a half ago I was rear-ended on a major freeway and the back end of my Mazda Tribute got SMASHED in beyond recognition ... that was rather frightening! I had to spend the day in L& D on a monitor and have some pretty extensive testing done, but all reports say the baby is fine.
I've gained about 22 lbs total, and though my iron is low, all other levels are good. I never did the glucose test but had my doctor monitor my sugars every two weeks, and it was always fine, so that's good, too. No high blood pressure, nothing else that would be worrysome.
Now I'm just ready for her to be here .... It feels like I've been pregnant forever!

Enjoy these last few (hours? days?) with your little one inside. You'll realize later that it was nice to be able to know where she was all the time...hehe! I'm sending you good easy labor vibes and that you're holding that precious little girl in your arms very soon! Do you have an angel? I'd love to post for you. My cell phone is the same if you still have it, or I can email you my digits if you want!

Cute! Since you are the only one due this week, I won't give a 2nd shout out, but I want you to know that thoughts and prayers are with you! Can't wait for your story of Lydia and pics! May your labor and delivery be easy and pain free!!
