40 weeks - full term

Today is baby girl's official due date - but only 5-10% of babies are actually born on their due dates. If she doesn't come this weekend, we go in Monday morning to induce labor, which means that baby girl will have made her way into the world by very early Tuesday morning at the latest! Oddly enough, I feel much calmer about when labor will start knowing that Monday is the day. The doctor did say there is a 15-20% chance she'll come before Monday on her own.

So what does 40 weeks feel like? Constantly feeling like you have to use the bathroom, constant ache in my hips and back,  and the skin on my stomach feels so stretched that it feels like it just might split open at any moment.

We got the rocking chair for baby girls room in today, just in time for her birth.
