40 weeks
hiya little man.
today is your due date. hopefully this will be my last weekly photo but I guess we won’t know until you’re here. no matter how much I’ve tried to ignore it, we both know there’s no question what was on my mind when I woke up this morning. will you be the 5% of babies born on their due date? when will you arrive?
I’m totally over being pregnant. I’m so anxious to meet you that every single thought I have revolves about you. however, today I can’t help but reflect on what I will miss once I’m not pregnant anymore. {you can read my list over on Babble}
I hope you decide to come soon. we are ready when you are!

this is so exciting
and I realized something when I went shopping for me this week: dress = not breastfeeding friendly…so sad since I wanted to get one that looked pretty much like the one you have on your picture!

I keep checking in every day to see if your little one has arrived! I was due on May 13th and my son was born on April 29th. Although I loved being pregnant (most of the time), I can’t imagine being pregnant for another second!
Your list on Babble is totally spot-on, by the way. The good news is you’ll still get plenty of that after the baby is born
Best of luck to you!!

I can’t wait! But I’ve heard boys like to stick around with their mamas a little longer than 40 weeks. We’ll see.

Hooray!!! I read a kooky factoid a few months ago that statistically, babies are most often born on Wednesdays. Guess what day Dashiell was born? Wednesday! And the labor & delivery wing was stuffed full of women in labor when we got there.
Which means, you will obviously go into labor tomorrow night and have your bebe on Wednesday. Only 1 more day to go!
Also, (re babble) if you breastfeed exclusively you won’t get your period for a while longer. I got mine 10 months to the day after Dashiell was born. Didn’t miss it at all, that’s for sure!

Been reading your blog for quite a while now – then I realised the other day that your baby may well be born on my birthday, 18th of May. May is the perfect time to have a birthday with the spring and blossom in the air, your little man will be very lucky!
