40 plus 2
My due date was 2 days ago (11/5). I’m now 40 weeks plus 2 days pregnant. And nooooooo imminent signs of this baby showing up. I’m bored. And anxious. We ALL are. But in the grand scheme of things, I suppose this isn’t all that bad. I’ve been reading books, watching movies (which I seem to be having VERY bad luck in choosing), and doing a moderate amount of cooking.
At my last midwife appointment, we reviewed my actual due date, and it turns out it could be any time between 11/5 and 11/9 (based on various ultrasounds and my last period). And if both baby and I are still healthy, I could go up to 2 weeks late, which would be NOVEMBER 23RD!! Yeah, that’s right. We’re talking 16 more days I could conceivably be pregnant. That’s scary. Let’s hope it doesn’t go that long, or I may have to do something drastic, like go for a 7 mile hike and chug a bottle of castor oil.
Anyway, cross your fingers for me. And we’ll keep you posted via Facebook, Twitter, blog, cell phone, etc. With any luck, we’ll have a baby before the weekend is out (a girl can dream, right?).
