40 Weeks!!!!!!!!!

How far along: 40 weeks and 5 days. Yes. 5 days overdue. 

Size of baby:   A MINI WATERMELON. 
Average = ~6.2-9.2 lbs, 18-21" long. 

Our 20 week ultrasound had placed him/her in the 97th percentile for size (!!!!) buuuut our 32 week ultrasound's guesstimate was in the 65-75th percentile range. Yes please!

Physical symptoms: I waddle. I'm swollen everywhere. Fingers, toes, feet, face. Restless legs are back, showers help but not as well as before. Braxton Hicks contractions. Insomnia. Have to pee every 30 seconds. Heartburn every night. Absolutely exhausted. 

Oh. And 1-1.5cm dilated as of last Monday. 

Weight gain/loss: Ugh. I'm up ~40lbs. I don't even know. 

Maternity clothes: While I've been home during the week I'm mostly in PJs all day. But when I make public appearances, it's the same old story- maternity shirts (I have like 3 that are still long enough), and (non-maternity) maxi skirts. Tank tops with shelf bras at night usually. 

Stretch marks: Between Wednesday and Saturday they popped up everywhere. Existing ones became worse and they showed up around my belly button, below it and on both sides  

Sleep: Nope. Lol. Some naps here and there but def no longer than 2.5 hrs at a time. Ugh. 

Best moment since last week: We hit our due date... 5 days ago. And the Jewish holiday of sukkos began and i love this holiday. 

Movement: You can really see where his/her tush or feet are at most times. Definitely which side of my belly s/he is on. Moving around a lot, actually. The troops are getting restless. Lots of hiccups, too.

Cravings/aversions: not really. 

Gender: Confirmed!! We're keeping it a secret.

Labor signs: Braxton Hicks contractions. 1.5cm dilated. Otherwise the kid is dragging his/her feet.

Belly button: Still an innie but really pushing it's limits and the skin around it is still really sore.

What I miss: Sleep. Yeah, I'll get used to that one. Laying on my stomach... Just having that option. Sushi, I guess. Beer. 

What I am looking forward to: Getting this kid out of me. No, but really. For serious.

And a pic!!! Helllllp:
