So, I'm 40 weeks today...and no baby yet. Fortunately I'm feeling quite optimistic today so far, but since my emotions have been riding a roller-coaster this week, I'm just hoping the optimism holds for a little while. :) Or, you know, that labor starts and our little girl arrives! :)
At my appointment today I was measuring right at 40 weeks, and fortunately I hadn't gained any more weight. I thought I had stopped gaining weight at my 38 week appointment (I lost a pound)...but then at my 39 week appointment I had shot up FOUR pounds! I must say, for reminding myself to eat every day, that is quite the significant increase! At least for now everything is hovering around the 152 pound-mark. That makes 36 pounds that I have gained total since I became pregnant. Now it's time to have the baby and lose it all! :)
The baby is no longer in a posterior position, fortunately for me. :) However, since she spends her days flipping back and forth from sunny-side-up to face-down, I just hope she stays this way permanently until she is born. Austin and I like to joke that she thinks she is a little flapjack pancake, making sure both sides are fully ready before she decides she is ready to be born! :) She is at least lining up as she should, so all we need is for some contractions to start up now. :)
I'll post the picture tonight when Austin gets home. Hopefully this will be the last post before our little girl arrives! You never know when a baby will be born...maybe she will even decide to show up later tonight! :)

Pancake Brianne Palmer
Sounds like a superior name for the child of the girl that said she would never marry a man who didn't like pancakes. :)
PBP -- Better hurry up and be born! Grandma wants to meet you. :)
It is going to be soon! I just know it!! Hopefully little pancake will stay face down!! Love ya sister sure!
From Duckie to Pancake....that's a stretch....hee hee! Well, my thought is that "Duckie" is practicing those flips for when she's a famous swimmer in the Olympics:)
We're pulling for you Melissa
