Week 40 - Waiting...

It's Week 40 now. And nothing is happening... no contractions, no water bag bursting. Only a throbbing migraine, increasing sleepless nights due to to the weight of the baby and frequent need to visit the toilet etc.

Last check at the gynae on Monday indicated that the baby is estimated to be close to 3.7kg already! Cant imagine if the baby refuses to come out till the actual EDD of 2 Feb, she will be 4kg?? Actually, I'm rather worried that the baby will be too big to come out naturally but the gynae seems to be rather relaxed about it. She said I can manage up till 3.8kg (but it's already 3.7kg now!) and that above 4kg will be more difficult (but I am close to it already!).

So it's now waiting waiting at home everyday for the signs... hoping that it will be soon. It's getting too tiring, both physically and mentally. And we have stopped sending Kaelyn to childcare since yesterday because of a chicken pox outbreak at the centre. So I need to spend more energy playing with her in the mornings...

Baby baby, (by the way, her name is most likely to be Sherryn), when are you going to come out of the comforts of Mama's womb?
