She's still in there and seems to be as comfy as can be. After never having to wait for Juni to come out, this whole thing has me a little confused. Since 38 weeks I have been at 2.5 cm dilated, and she has been sitting at a -1. From 38 weeks to 39 weeks I went from 35% effaced to 70% effaced. Juni is healed of her cold. The bags are alllllllll packed. Baby's newborn stuff is ready for her to wear for her debut pictures. Our landlords moved in our new-to-us fridge yesterday. (Which sadly means Juni can't get anything out of the fridge on her own anymore, because this one has a freezer on the bottom, but she will be tall enough before we know it, I am sure.)
My biggest cravings:
*bacon
*mustard
*lemonade
*chewy dessert-like things (rice crispie treats, mud pies, indoor smores)
My biggest struggles:
*vertigo the first trimester ALL DAY LONG, and especially from about 3pm into the night
*reflux for a week or two each trimester
*giving Juni my best in the first trimester when all I wanted to do was sleep (we ended up finding some great indoor/sit-down activities that we still have fun with today
My biggest (achievements?):
*no stretch marks! (knock on wood, after my 8 inch wide complete inner-tube around my waste last time
*staying active (still climbing, crawling, running...with Juni :), and feeling strong) We go for a walk each and every day and honestly, I don't feel 40 weeks pregnant. By the end of the day my knees and hips ache a little and I am ready to sit down more frequently than normal, but after going into labor so early the first time, I had imagined "the end" to be so much worse.
*working until 39 weeks
Sooooooo, Baby Williams and I may share a birthday after all??? :D
