20 days to the due date! I made it past the 37 (full term) marker, too. With Dean I didn't make it this far into pregnancy, so I didn't know what to expect. Actually I was expecting to be more uncomfortable than ever, but that hasn't been the case. I feel better than I did a month ago. What a pleasant surprise! I'm sleeping pretty good, and able to do everything I need to. I was feeling kinda impatient, but I realized that I was just bored. An outing to the park and a date plan are helping a lot. Maybe we'll make it to the beach this weekend. I have a funny kind of spring fever. I'm just dying to climb a mountain and see the stars. A month or two ago I'd been fantasizing about a killer workout -- you know, some serious lifting. I even cheated on my pregnancy diet this week and ate feta cheese. It's never tasted so good. I guess you don't know how much you like things until you can't have them for a while.
The worst part-- I know I shouldn't complain, but I'm so good at it-- is that I'm just so HUGE. I can hardly believe that I'm growing out of my maternity clothes. I have to watch what I'm wearing to make sure it actually covers my belly. Seriously humiliating. I might have to spend week 38 in James T-shirts.
By the way, last week I didn't make any progress as far as effacing and dialating. Could be this girl wants to hang in there till the end.

I guess she will come when she gets good and ready. Glad you are feeling well. The last month can be a real drag.
You'd better get another picture! I can't believe you are that big! I hope that you get to go on your date and then have a baby right after! I hope Dean is better by Friday!
That's awesome to hear, feeling better than last month! Great! Hope it keeps going great for you all the way to the end!
A belly shot would have gone perfect with this post; but I appreciate the update anyway. :) I think shoul should go the beach and climb a mountain this weekend! What a great idea. Can I come?
By the way, eventhough Tessa was only 1 week later than Sophie I felt like it was FOREVER. But, I wanted to tell you, that I dilated only to a 1 the day before I had Sophie and was 4+ for a over a week with Tessa! So I don't think cervical change is a good indicator. I'm just sayin'.
Love you Jen!
My comment isn't here! does that mean I didn't do it right? I am really expecting she'll come by Monday, but kids have a way of doing the unexpected! I agree with Jess that we need that last belly shot!
