Just a small update.... This previous Saturday (02 July) I passed my due date at 40 weeks. I thought I had everything planned out and was so sure that everything would work according to plan. My husband and I expected that our baby would arrive by the time I reached my due date or at least a few days before or after. I'm currently approaching one week past my due date and still no sign of the baby's arrival. I guess pregnancy and natural birth doesn't always work out exactly as planned. At times I'm all nerves with regard to what is awaiting me (how long I still have to be pregnant) and what would have to happen from now on (induction or cesarean section). I'm hoping that the baby will decide to make his appearance soon. I was planning a natural birth and would like to still be able to do that. But, I guess one week past due date is not exactly something to stress over too much.
For now, I'm enjoy the last kicks and moves because that's something I will definitely miss once it's gone. I'm enjoying all the extra time to rest and be pampered. Once the baby arrives, both my husband and I won't have much time for anything else. So, we're making time for doing things like going on dates, watching movies and relaxing with each other. Soon our new addition will have a lot of demands of his own and we won't have time (neither would we want to have time) for anything else.
My first pregnancy was a great journey.... Now, parenthood awaits :)
