40 + 6

Lots of pressure. Baby apparently wants to come out through my belly button...at the same time as pushing through my lower ribs. He's strrrrrretccccchhhhing. At times I feel as though there's a basketball between my legs as I walk. My hips and back are very sore. Don't read into that and tell me it's early labour. I generally do have bad hips and a bad back.

I'm getting a little tired of telling people my due date. These curious people are EVERYWHERE. I must have told ten or fifteen people (mostly cashiers--we went to a lot of shops) today alone. I'm considering telling people what Dave used to (and I always got annoyed with this joke)--that I'm due in April and that I'm just a little...big.

I know walking around is good for the baby and me, but my feet can't take much more.

Bought a nursing gown today--like a collared night shirt that buttons all the way down. It's kind of ugly, but it will serve the post-deliver purpose...and I've been told it isn't a pretty sight!

Also bought two more outfits for the baby. We have way too many clothes, but I couldn't resist. These are for 3-6 months. One is a 3-piece outfit for Baby to wear while watching the Superbowl with Daddy. The other are overalls. $7 for all of them. Go TJ Max!

41 week appointment tomorrow! They're going to want to schedule an induction. I'll keep you posted.
