40 weeks 4 days

Well I'm hanging in there JUST!!! Bubs is in no great hurry to make his/her appearance!! I am going to see the Obstetricican in the morning and from there we will decide to go for induction or another c-section if labour wouldn't be favourable. I am starting to get the whinges at the moment too!!! Everything hurts and I am having trouble sleeping!! I was up from 4.30am this morning, unable to sleep.. for no particular reason just bright eyed and no chance of going back to sleep.. Well just a quick update for the moment .. I will try and get back on tomorrow afternoon and post the outcome at the Ob's.

40 weeks today!!

Well today is my due date and i would be alot more dissapointed if I thought nothing was going on, but on Thursday night i was awake quite a bit with regular cramping throughout the night and made myself sleep!!! I went and saw the Obstetrician on Thursday also and he was happy with how things were travelling had a bit of a prod bubs has dropped and is engaged and then said if your still around next week he wants to see me in regards to induction or c-section.. Then yesterday bubs movements were down alot considering the normal kicks and painful movements, I rang the hospital and they had me go in for monitoring. All was well and bubs was happily beating a storm on the machine!!!! She did a urine sample and found some traces of protein, she was very dissapointed no one had been monitoring it closely considering I had Pre-eclampsia with Kai. Then last night I had quite a substantial show so today I have stayed in pretty much hibernating and waiting for something to happen!!! I went for a big walk up a hill with heaps of steps so that was good in the hope it may get things going!!! Tonight I have had the cramping still and just had another substantial show so things are a happening and just a matter of time!! Not too much else going on just feel like crawling under a rock till things progress and have a feeling I just feel like being at home!!! I am sure once I have had bubs I will not want to be here much as I will be sick of it!! To all the mummies out there, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY tomorrow, I was hopeing to have a special day tomorrow with an arrival so fingers crossed!!!!! What could be a better gift!!!! My sister came and took some pictures last night of us and they came out fab here are a couple I have played with so far... Take care all ....

Thankfully i am going to have my waxing done tomorrow as I think my hormones have done a 360 last time I extended my appointment out a further week and my eyebrows really were not that bad at all and this week I am desperate to make my normal 3 week appointment!!! I couldn't possibly have photos with my new bubs with brows like this!!! hahaha j/k So I am not going to hold my breath my due date is Saturday and Kaitiaki being 2 weeks over I just have to be patient ... yeah right!!! I have an appointment to see the midwife tomorrow and then I see my OB on Thursday so hopefully it may shed some light on what is happening if anything...
