Since I only made it to 38 weeks for my first pregnancy, I was really wanting to make it all the way to 40 weeks for this one...and am so happy to say that we made it (with God's help, of course)! I am 40 weeks today! I'm feeling great, although I'm very sore from all the contractions I've already had this month. Since I'm a VBAC, I'm going to have to fight to not get induced next week if I still haven't gone into labor on my own by then, but with how good I'm feeling, I think I'll have the energy to put up the necessary fight and let my body go into labor on its own. So here's to hoping the next few days or weeks are productive and go by fast so we can meet our little girl soon!
I was inspired by the gorgeous and chic: The Stylish Housewife, to wear my hair like this since today my plans are to get the house cleaned and the laundry done. If you want to try out the style, check out her quick and easy tutorial. Nothing like a good messy updo for housework!
I adore that top! I'm so sorry you have a fight ahead of you, but it's great that you're feeling great!
ReplyDeleteYay you made it! Hoping little girl decides to make her appearance soon and no induction takes place! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, hope all goes the way you want.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless!

ReplyDeleteThanks for all the well wishes! And Jenn...so glad you had the hair tutorial for me to post - I've been wanting to try something different with my hair!
ReplyDeleteI went into labor on midnite of my due date, hope that happens for you too! YEA you are almost there.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! :) I am so proud of you. You've handled this pregnancy so well and you're still looking amazing at 40 weeks. Praying things go well over the next days/weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Congratulations on reaching 40 weeks and looking so fabulous! I am very proud of you for keeping such a healthy/upbeat/encouraging attitude through the last 9..err 10 months. :) Praying the next few days/weeks go well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah!
ReplyDeleteMarie - I sure do hope so!!
Still gorgeous! I hope your sister will post when there's time to make an announcement. I just became an aunt yesterday, baby arrived right on schedule.
ReplyDeleteI wish a wonderful transition to a 2-child family.
Your hair looks great like that and I love that top.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the next few days, hope the baby doesn't keep you hanging on too long!
Wooo! Here's to hoping the little gal comes super soon! You look great...
ReplyDelete@ Pamela, I'll ask Missi to post something when the baby is born, that's a good idea - maybe it will make her start posting again, too!
ReplyDelete@ Shoegal, Thanks so much - I hope I don't go past a week, but it runs in my family to be late, so I'm trying not to hold my breath!
@ Megan, thanks so much! Looks like we will both be having April babies!
