AHHHH!

The due date is here. I have nothing nice to say. ;o(

Week 39... still waiting!

Stubborn Baby

So, she doesn't want to come out...
The midwife scheduled my induction for next Friday, on Sean's birthday , September 5th. We really hope something happens before then. She advised me to pack some DVD's and games because I could be in the hospital for awhile... not what I wanted to hear.

KANA KEILANI MCCUE

Japanese origin
= Powerful, beautiful, excellent

UPDATE

I had my appointment with the doctor today and she said she does not agree with the midwife changing my due date. The baby measures normal so she changed my due date back to August 30th! yeah! So Baby Kana can officially come out healthy any day now. The doctor said she is probably skinny and tall. Maybe she won't fit in that cute French crab suit after all. I lost 5 lbs this week, but she said that is fine. The baby is still growing. ;o)- My belly button hasn't flattened out yet, but it's stretching to capacity.

any day now...

Well, she didn't make it out on lucky 8.8.08 like we'd hoped. I guess she needs some more time to grow in there. I gained another 2 lbs last week so she should be caught up to the other kids on size. The midwife told me she was about 4 lbs 2 weeks ago, then last week she said she was almost 6 lbs. I am guessing that she is making things up as she goes.
I have been feeling ok the past few days. It's been pretty hot, but I've still been getting lots of walking in. Sleeping downstairs in the guest room has been really helpful. It's cooler down there, I get to have all the pillows surrounding me, and I can toss and turn and not worry about waking Sean up. My loyal guard dog, however, refuses to leave my side. He won't sleep on his bed upstairs now, so I try to keep my movements to a minimum, so the spoiled little puppy is not disturbed. He was very annoyed when I got up at 4am last night and tried to read with the lights on dim. Baby Kana has been moving a lot lately. She loves to poke her feet out to the side. It looks pretty freaky when my stomach is lopsided! We can't wait to see her.... any day now!

Week 37 and counting!

We had our last big night out at MJ's 80's Prom theme B-day party last night.
I think we'll be taking it easy and staying in for these last few weeks. It is impossible to sleep with the braxton hicks contractions shooting pain throughout the night. The books say it's mild pain, I beg to differ. My back pain is getting unbearable. We're really hoping that Kana is ready for her birthday any day now! My little guard dog is getting tired of waking up at 3am to follow me around the house. I guess we're all preparing for the fun schedule ahead with the baby waking up every couple hours. ;o)- I'll just pretend I'm still working those Europe trips where you are always tired and never catch up on sleep. I should be used to it, right!?
