40 Weeks

Ah 40 weeks, we meet again. Apparently my uterus makes for a comfortable home! I delivered Charlotte at 40 weeks 1 day. Today marks that day and unless I start active labor in the next few hours, it's doubtful that I'll be having him on the same day.

 

I was really upset when my due date hit with Charlotte, but yesterday came and went and I was unphased. I enjoyed what I assume will be my last Monday off with just my little girl, and was generally comfortable so I think that played a part in it. I also know that this transition is going to be a big one for our family, so we are just playing the waiting game and soaking up the last of current normal routine!

 

I have my 40 week appointment tonight and am scheduled for induction tomorrow morning. Depending on my progress, we may cancel if I'm not comfortable with the plan.
