Well, today is the due date... and still no baby girl. I was getting pretty excited this morning because I woke up wide awake at 5am feeling nauseous with a knot in my stomach... followed by cramps for the next couple of hours. I decided not to go in to work because I thought for sure this was the start of labor! It appears that that was just a tease.... the cramps are gone :( Ben and I went in to TC and walked around Target, Meijer, and Menards to see if that would help move things along. Then we had some greasy burgers at Culvers... still feeling normal. I really had my hopes up this morning... pretty disappointing!
One kind of weird thing is that I've been dropping weight a bit... I've gained about 27 at this point. 4 weeks ago I had gained 32. Oh well, I'm still in the normal range and I know it's common to even out near the end so I'm not worried. I've been having these sharp pains once in awhile when I'm walking in my upper leg... probably ligament pain. Other than that I've been pretty comfortable. The back pain has pretty much gone away the last month or so :) I have an appointment on Wednesday if I haven't had her yet, and they will hook me up to a fetal monitor to check that the baby is still doing well and check dilation. I really hope I go into labor before that... :)
