40 Weeks

This week Baby Sonny is any where between 6 and 8 pounds and 19 to 22 inches in length.  He is the size of a watermelon!  His lungs, brain, and the rest of his organs continue to mature and grow.

Right now we are just waiting for Baby Sonny to make his grand appearance!  Every night I go to bed wondering, will this be it?  Will I wake up in labor; will I be in labor tomorrow?  When will Baby Sonny be here?  It's wonderful to have something to look forward to, but it's also very challenging to be so excited and then a little let down at the end of each day because he's not ready to come out.

To entice Baby Sonny to come out, Jeff made labor inducing eggplant parm on Sunday night.  Three meals later and no labor yet...  I take the dog out for a mile long walk every day, I've eaten spicy food, I've eaten pineapple, Jeff rubs my feet every night.  Nothing yet :(  We are working around Baby Sonny's schedule now and won't meet him until he's good and ready!

I literally cannot fit much more baby in my belly!
