Me: "Knock, Knock."
You: "Who's there?"
Me: "Gwen."
You: "Gwen wh....wait a minute!"
Me: "JUST KIDDING."
Yup, that's right folks...still pregnant. It's funny because everyone seems to think (including myself) that a pregnant woman's due date is when baby will magically make their way into the world. If only that were true! Truth is only about 5% of babies are born on their ESTIMATED due date which makes for some very unhappy and very anxious pregnant women!
I think, on average, a first time mom can go as long as 41.5 weeks which would mean I have another good 10 days before Gwen decides it's time to pack up and leave her cozy uterus home and upgrade to the great big world! While 10 days may seem like nothing in the grand scheme of things, I do believe that these next 10 days (if Gwen really makes Mommy and Daddy wait THAT long) are going to feel like an eternity! I have definitely arrived at the point that after nine months of waiting I am READY to meet my daughter and transition to permanent "Mommy" status.
Thank you to
everyone for following my journey and hopefully this will be one of my last pregnant posts! I most likely plan on creating a new blog chronicling the journey of parenthood, but I am making no promises (especially to myself) because I have a feeling that once Gwen is here any spare time will be spent SLEEPING!Me @ 40 weeks
Love to all, Jennifer
