We made it! 40 weeks! | When will he be here?

Happy 40 weeks to baby and me!  We made it!  But I think Baby Boy is happy in his warm environment because he’s not here with us yet.  So we continue to wait.

I’m still having minimal cramps/contractions.  Nothing major yet.  Yesterday, on the due date, we went to the hospital to get checked out because the day before I had some excess fluid drainage.  I was talking to my brother and sister in law and they encouraged me to go in to get it checked out in case the bag broke.  They got me all set up in bed with the fetal heart rate monitor on (I love hearing Baby Boy’s heartbeat and by the way the nurse said baby had a good strong beat) - False alarm.  The bag hadn’t broken and I was barely dilated.  What a bummer!  I’m having that “is he EVER going to get here” feeling………  I know for certain he’ll be here in less than two weeks.  Pray with us he comes on his own so I don’t have to be induced. 
I’m still battling fatigue a little bit.  My husband has been telling people that he’s been the one “nesting” because I’ve been too tired.  LOL!  He’s a good man.  He’s gotten everything set up, including the awesome last minute glider rocker so I can rock little guy in, so we’re ready for the big entrance! 


I’m still having a few cravings.  Yesterday I couldn’t seem to satisfy my hunger after we got home from the hospital.  I was craving salty potato chips at one point and then some salty authentic Mexican food that our dear friend Petra makes down in Mexico.  Still been craving Starbucks drinks like mad.  I treated myself one day to an iced drink and boy was I in heaven!  It was sooooo good!  Other than that still been wanting cold, creamy things like yogurt, smoothies, ice cream. 

We’re very excited to have my mom come for about 10 days.  It will be nice to have some company!  And hopefully her grandson comes soon so she can spend time with him.

So signing off for this week.  Maybe next week I’ll be writing with a little boy in my arms!
