41 Weeks

...and still cooking!

41 Weeks Pregnant

I was asked if I had any gut feeling on whether baby is a boy or girl, but I really don't.  I asked Craig the same question, and he said, "At this point, I'll take either one, as long as it gets the heck out of there!"  Haha!  It's cute to see him so impatient to meet our child!

Bags are packed and we're ready to go at a moment's notice.  I cleaned the house (again!) and got a few baby clothes ready to wash for when baby comes back home.  It's hard to know whether to have newborn stuff or 0-3 month size ready, since we don't know how much baby will weigh at birth.  Most of the newborn stuff says up to 8.5 lbs, and I'm sincerely hoping the baby isn't any bigger than that!

I created a playlist of music that should distract me from contractions once I go into labor.  Lots of "move music," as I call it.  I also downloaded a white noise app if I need something more "soothing" like beach sounds.  I have no idea whether I'll be a calm laborer or if I'll turn into something from the Exorcist like my mom said she did.

When we were in labor & delivery to see my doctor on Sunday, I was really pleased to see that the hospital still has crucifixes up in each room.  That should make a good focal point if I need it.  And I am also excited that I have my Babcia's gold "#1 Mom" pendant to wear after the birth.

My goal today (now that the vacuuming, mopping, & laundry are done!) is to relax and talk baby into packing his/her suitcase!

Here's the new movie of all the baby bump pictures!
