40 weeks - happy due date to me

Well, not so much 'happy' due date, as 'annoyed and frustrated' due date.

Yes, today is my due date. Today I am 40 weeks pregnant with bubba # 3. I really had thought and hoped that I wouldn't get here. I had really hoped bubba would be here by now.

With my other two I had things planned for my due date, to keep myself busy. Plus I never expected anything to happen. With this bubba, I really thought she might have made an appearance, so I haven't planned anything... I kind of wish I had. I want to take it easy, but perhaps the little miss and I will go out for morning tea or something. I'm sure she wouldn't say no to a babycino! At least that's something. I don't really want to do anything else too much, or stray too far from home. Today is hubby's last day at work too, so it will be good to have him around to help from tomorrow.

I did have a lovely comment from a mum at school drop off this morning though. She told me my belly was 'phenomenal' and that I looked amazing, and said how much she missed her belly. It was really lovely to hear. I already know I am going to miss my belly... but that doesn't change the fact that I just want bubba to come now!

After having a few nights in a row where I really thought it might happen through the night, I have kind of given up on that idea. Last night I went to bed expecting it not to happen. Logically I know that it has to happen soon... it just will. But in my mind I have kind of given up on it happening. I'm thinking ahead to what I'll be doing tomorrow, maybe even the day after... I just hate that feeling of disappointment, so I've kind of blocked my mind off to thinking that it might happen any time soon. I may still be here next week, all pregnant. I may still be here the week after. Maybe I'm just destined to be pregnant forever. Maybe I gestate like an elephant. I am ready and willing when this bubba wants to come... but I can't go driving myself nutty waiting around either. I say that now... I'm sure I'll have another hissy fit about still being pregnant in a day or two.

Anyway, below is my 40 week, full bloom belly. I might spend a bit of time doing some timeline photos. It is definitely an impressive belly!
