I'm actually in pretty good spirits -- still shocked that I made it to 40 weeks. I'm not feeling much progress -- just a few random Braxton Hicks contractions and some discomfort. He has definitely moved down and there is a lot more room in my upper belly to breathe.
I woke up with a lot of energy this morning and made a yummy Sunday breakfast. We almost made it to church, but pregnancy brain got the best of me and I missed the start time by 1/2 hour. So, we decided to take a good walk through the neighborhood and ended up having lunch at Doc's on South Congress. We all came home and took nice naps while watching the UT-Memphis basketball game. We then spent the afternoon playing outside, relaxing and making a yummy dinner.
I'm gearing up mentally for what could be another week of waiting. On Wednesday, I have my next doctor's appointment where they are giving me an ultrasound and test to see how the baby is doing. My doctor has already suggested inducing me on April 7th ... we'll see. Our doula (did I tell you that I decided to use a doula with this birth?) is coming over this week to see if she can help us get things going naturally -- I'd like to avoid induction.
Tomorrow is the last day of March -- are you waiting to be an April Fool's baby like your daddy???
