5 days overdue...

I'm beginning to think this baby is NEVER going to come out!! :( Had an appointment yesterday and everything looks good still. Since I'm overdue I was put on the fetal monitor and will be everytime I go in to make sure that my placenta is holding up. Baby looked/sounded very good, so that's a relief... if only baby would kick its way out! LOL... I didn't gain much weight again... only a few oz... which is perfectly fine by me. Our midwive yesterday said baby is probably around 8lbs. I wonder if they say that to all first time mom's so they don't stress about pushing out a big baby. hee hee... After our appointment, Gary and I relaxed much of the afternoon. When he went to work I went down to the farm to visit. We had a "small" family gathering which was really nice. The food was amazing! I was hoping since I was a good 45 minutes from home and hospital the baby would choose that time to start coming... no such luck! After I got home and Gary got off work we had a "date"... we went to the budget theater downtown and saw Public Enemies. Good movie! The wee one was super duper active as soon as I sat down and thankfully Gary got to feel a lot of it as well. Today our little one hasn't been as active but still active enough not to worry me again. I think baby must be tired from last night. :) Today was my last day of deep water aerobics at the Fairfax Pool... it was great being in the water this summer. I love feeling weightless with such a big belly. If it's nice tomorrow I'll make one more trip to the pool for shallow water... as long as the baby doesn't come tonight, of course. Other than that nothing interesting going on around here... I start school next week and look forward to the challenge of being a mom and college student. Good thing I'm only taking one class that really means anything. :) Oh... and Gary got his schedule for the following quarter and it works with my school schedule so he'll still be able to care for our little squirt when I can't!! Super excited about that. If possible it would be great if we didn't have to put our kids in daycare... too many scarey things can happen at those places. It's hard to trust strangers... but eventually we might have to, I'm just hoping it's not anytime in the near future. :) Have a great week!! I'll keep you posted on when our little bambino decides to come!
