40 week update

Along: 40 weeks

Size of baby: LBMH still is the size of a PUMPKIN - 19-22 inches long and 6-9 pounds. My app says "You are now past your due date." Yes, thank you. I know.

Total Weight Gain: 26 pounds

Maternity Clothes: I've really run out of things that are comfortable to wear. For this week's picture, I squeezed into my cute pregnancy jeans, took the photo and immediately changed back into pajama pants. :)

Gender: It's a BOY! Reed Lewis Hill

Movement: He does still move, but it is much harder to detect his punches and kicks. Little man is officially out of room. Don't worry, bud, there's plenty of space to stretch out here. Come on out!

What I miss: Sleeping through the night - though I know those days are long gone for a good while. Good thing I'm pretty good on a little sleep.

Cravings: Anything and everything has sounded and tasted good this week, now that I'm feeling better. We've taken the opportunity to go out on dates and really enjoy adult conversation this week. It's been really fun and a good way to connect before the baby gets here.

Symptoms: Contractions (but none that are productive) and just generally uncomfortable.

Best moment of the week: Spending quality time with my husband. Erik and I went to dinner and to get ice cream last night, and it was so much fun. We laughed, talked about all that was coming up and just enjoyed each other's company. I love him so much. I couldn't ask for a more loving, supportive husband, and I know he's going to be the best daddy to little Reed.

Looking forward to: Meeting Reed Lewis Hill! We are scheduled to induce tomorrow morning (April 22 - his daddy's birthday!) at 7 a.m. There are all sorts of emotions going on in my heart right now, but that's for another post... In just 24 hours, we will have our boy!
