Hi! It's been awhile since I've been on here... I had my baby girl on August 5th. I will post more about her birthday when I'm feeling less exhausted. :)

Oh yes, I'm still pregnant! Four days past due today. My induction starts Sunday at 4:30 PM, unless she decides to pick an earlier time on her own (still praying for that!) In the meantime I've put on 2 more pounds. It's hard to not be depressed and eat more because I'm so sick of being pregnant at this point-- it is HOT here in the Philadelphia area and I am very uncomfortable.

So an acquaintance of mine who is 2 weeks overdue (was due the 15th) tried the castor oil thing last night and nothing happened!!! So now I think it's pointless and a waste of time-- why put your body through that for no expected end result? My doctor will schedule an induction tomorrow at my appointment for one day next week. I'd rather it be sooner than later because I will already be on maternity leave home with no baby as of this Monday. One and a half days left of work and then I'm out of here!!! I'm really looking forward to a break from working even if I will be home taking care of a newborn.

Well my weight hasn't further increased so that's a plus! I'm 39 weeks and 4 days today... 3 days til my due date! Much like Cathy, my last day of work is Friday! The difference is she's done FOREVER and I'll be right back in here in 13 weeks lol.

I have my 40 week appointment on Friday. I'm not looking forward to having a medical induction scheduled. My mom had me 3 weeks early and my brother 4 days late so I'm hoping I won't stray too far from her experience. My sister in law keeps telling me that as soon as I'm overdue (which technically, would be Sunday) I should be mixing a tablespoon of castor oil in a glass of coke and I'll have this baby out in no time. This also terrifies me (but not as much as a medical induction). So who knows how I will feel and if I'll be willing to give that a try. Come on Sydney, just come on your own soon and I won't have to make any decisions. :)

I am going to blame the heat for my weight gain b/c I think it's making me swell a ton and retain water. I've lost my ankles and my hands look like the man hands from that episode of Seinfeld. Totally puffed up! I have to wear my wedding ring and engagment ring around my neck on a necklace b/c they are definitely not fitting at this point in the game.

I had my 39 week doctor's appointment yesterday (even though I won't officially be 39 weeks until tomorrow). There has been no change since last week so my doctor said "definitely make an appointment for next week, your baby is comfy in there". So my next doctor's appointment is literally the day before my due date and on my last day of work before maternity leave begins-- next Friday.

I wanted to work as long as possible b/c I don't want to waste days at home with no baby out of my maternity leave. I work in an air conditioned building and sit at a desk all day so it's not very difficult to make it in here. And at this point I only have to do it 5 more days max.

Tonight Salem and I are having a date night. We have pretty much done this every Friday night for the last 3 weeks because we know our time out as just us is very limited and we want to enjoy it.

If I am still pregnant by next Friday then at my appointment they will officially schedule my induction date. It will most likely be either on the 5th or the 8th depending on whether or not they do weekend inductions or not for non-emergencies. My doctor practice thinks it is too risky to let people go beyond 41 weeks (b/c of increased risk of stillbirths). So it is quite possible that I will spend my first week of maternity leave at home with no baby. I'm hoping not, I was trying to avoid that, but I also don't want to come to work overdue. Also, I've already set up my entire leave and to change it at this point on everyone when I've already delegated my work seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth.

I'm not thrilled with my weight gain during this pregnancy, but I think those last few pounds are water weight and I hope that they will come off quickly once I have the baby.
