41 Weeks.

Well, there is still no baby around these parts. Tomorrow I’ll officially be 41 weeks pregnant. I know, I know, they come when they’re ready, yada yada yada. It’s still hard to wait. And wait. And wait. Some days are good, others are… not so good, to say the least. I decided to go ahead and make fun of my crazy pregnant self, and document this time. 

10 of my Pregnancy Quirks: 

1. I pee at least once every 45 minutes. Sometimes two or three times. Regardless of how much I have to drink.

2. I may start crying at any possible moment. Good, bad, happy, sad… it really doesn’t matter. And I will probably have no idea why I am crying.

3. Being pregnant has definitely made my need to compulsively clean things a lot worse. 

4. My sleep pattern is as follows: lay down, try to fall asleep for 30+ minutes, finally start to doze off, wake up 15 minutes later to go pee. Repeat process throughout the entire night.

5. Every ache, pain, contraction… “Am I about to go into labor?” Disappointment when nothing happens.

6. Lots of walks, every day. Usually the best part of my day. 

7. Nodding and smiling every time someone gives me a tip on how to start labor. Thinking “Yep, tried that. Nothing. Tried that too, and nothing. " 

8. Trying to put on my shoes. It’s definitely a challenge. Big ol’ belly getting in my way and all… 

9. Practically doing yoga in the shower to shave my legs.

10. Being really hungry. All the time. 

Even though I joke about all of these little preggo quirks, I still feel very blessed to be able to carry a child and to have had a healthy pregnancy. One way or another, she’ll be in our arms by the end of the week. ♥
