Pregnancy week 41

Well I am 41 weeks pregnant - that in lay terms ladies and gentleman, boys and girls is approximately 10 MONTHS!!! This girl of ours is just not budging I tell you - on one hand I say come when you're ready little Saba but then when the ligaments start hurting and my feet triple in size i just think 'get moving child' hahaha

Scott at this stage was already two and a half weeks old and I suppose I sort of expected this pregnancy to be similar so when week 39 came and went and I was still highly pregnant I was sort of disappointed and a bit frustrated .. which is not a good combo with hormones so poor Mart had a few rough days there with she-bear in da house! Once I had resigned myself (last week) to the fact that every pregnancy is indeed different and that our daughter was obvioulsy going to stretch her stay inutero I sort of became quite calm and accepting. The good thing this time round though is that we have everything prepared, clothes are not only washed but ironed and her bed is ready and made and we have nappies etc all ready for her arrival :).

Because I am overdue and am slightly concerned that the placenta is deteriorating we have agreed with the midwife that on Friday (08.06.07) my waters will be broken and we'll manually start labour ... AARRGGHHH!!!! Its weird to think that she'll be here this weekend - so much for letting nature take its course and all that. I am a bit ambivalent about this decision but I also just want everything to go well as we are having Saba at home after all.

Anyway hopefully the next blog will be a birth announcement! Keep those fingers crossed and send me strength :) ... here's to you little Saba looking forward to your arrival!
