How far along: 40 weeks, 4 days

How Big is the Baby: Probably ginormous by now! Don't they gain an ounce or two a day after 40 weeks??? I gained a pound this week.

New/Changed Symptoms: Super energetic during day and HUGE crash at night time where I'm so tired and so sore I can hardly walk. Nothing too terrible though.

Emotions: Pretty steady besides just being anxious!!!! A little weepy at times.

Something Funny That Happened: My sister in law could see the baby hiccupping in my stomach from accross the room last night!

Best moment of the Week: Ummmmm......lol

Movement: The baby is still very active.

Maternity Clothes: NOTHING FITS ME!!!!! I'm sooo ready to wear normal clothes again, but also sad that I won't be able to fit my normal clothes for who knows how long. I am getting anxious about how long it will take me to lose the weight. Especially since I'm a lot over what I wanted to be.

Weight: 39 pounds up total :(

Food cravings: Still the same as through my whole pregnancy: cereal & milk, candy, breads, sweets.

Food aversions: Nada.

What I Miss: Good sleep. My body. My job and paycheque.

What I'm Looking Forward To: HOLDING MY BABY BOY OR GIRL :) :) :) :) Knowing it's day sor hours away is killing me.

Milestone: This baby's COOKED!

Question(s): Should I be induced with Cervadil Thursday......:S My gut is "no."

I'm going to be in Nanaimo for a few hours on Sunday. And I'm just putting this out there - I wanna be with you. As in a visit. Purely conversational.

	Comment from NoNeedToRooLove » Posted Nov. 28, 2011 12:40pm You still look gorgeous to me and I think you wear pregnancy well ^.^ Love your picture. Stick to your guns! I know you can do it and you'll be getting back into your regular clothes in no time! Especially if you breastfeed ^.6 heh. Oh and I don't think 39 lbs is that bad of a weight increase. I know a lot of people who gained 70-100 lbs!!!! No joke!
	Comment from yasminesa » Posted Nov. 28, 2011 9:55am Loving the pic!! Don't worry about the weight like the other ladies said it does come off and I have heard that breastfeeding can really make you drop the weight as some of what was stored during pregnancy was especially to prepare for breastfeeding. Not too long now, you lucky lady.
	Comment from onemor83 » Posted Nov. 23, 2011 7:18am I gain 40 pds with all my pregnancies,quite normal. I don't know why all the books say that you should only gain 25 because thats hard to do. when I had my 1st child I lost all but about 10 pds after I had her & with my son since I was bigger, I lost about 20 pds & battled with the weight for 7 yrs. normally after your 1st child you bounce rite back,but if your one of those women who have a hard time keeping weight off you might struggle. I hope he or she comes out today for you, good luck!!
	Comment from pookerdooks » Posted Nov. 22, 2011 6:11pm Your photo is beautiful!!!!!! I wouldn't worry too much about the weight. If you are able to breast feed that will help. Plus a lot of new mommies get so focused on their babies they forget to eat themselves (not that I'm recommending that, but I mean you will be less likely to over indulge). I'm so excited for you!!!!!!
