Bumpie - 40 weeks

Oh wait, that's not actually me.  Though it is exactly how I feel at 40 weeks.

I had forgotten this baby was a stubborn Sauck.  I had great hopes he would make an early appearance.  Instead, we're at 40 weeks and he's settled in and said, "Nope!  I'm not budging!"

He still hasn't even dropped.  I haven't dilated at all.  0% effaced.  NOTHING HAPPENING.

Oh, except the additional stretch marks, the Braxton Hicks, the night sweats, the constant need to pee... 

And this little joy- I've swelled up a TON in the last two weeks!  Even just in this one week.  I can't even wear the "fat ring" I bought at Walmart anymore.  I think I actually could wear Tyler's wedding band without fear of it slipping off.  

And I don't know why!  I've actually cut way back and/or completely eliminated coffee, pop, and juice.  I've been drinking about a gallon of water a day.  And yet I've gained 10 pounds in the last two weeks!!  What?!

Today Doc asked if I wanted to think about induction. But I guess as long as he's healthy, I'll just keep on waiting.... I guess.

Perhaps I'll be showing up for Thanksgiving dinner afterall...looking like I've got the Butterball stuffed under my shirt.
