I'm in limbo land. If I was in North America, I would be 4 days overdue. Here in France they count 41 weeks as end of term and that date is this Sunday, the 16th. Nothing is happening much as I far as I can tell. I've had tweaks and pains here and there, but nothing significant. So far it looks like things are proceeding like they did with Ayva (slowly!). If it continues this way, we'll make a trip to the hospital next Monday to pay a visit to the midwives for some monitoring and testing. With Ayva these daily trips continued for several days before they finally decided to induce me.
I know I should be trying to relax and savor this time when I only have one little girl to look after. I should be trying to be sleep as much as I can before the night feedings start instead of staying up until 2:30 to finish the latest Jodi Picoult book. I should not be baking as much as I have as pretty soon I won't have any excuses for eating whatever I want.
I should be taking more walks in the remaining sunny days with Ayva and Henri. And hey, I thought black was supposed to be slimming.
I guess I'm just feeling blah today, pregnancy fatigue. And we still don't have a name picked out. In fact, last night we even had a bit of kerfuffle about it. We just can't seem to get on the same page.
I'll try and check back in when I have something more interesting to post. Like baby pictures! She can't stay in there forever, right?!
Looking forward to your news and photos!!!

Oh honey, I feel your pain and I didn't even know it! Still gotta write up my birth story but it turns out FF wasn't one week early, but TWO weeks late!! I wish everyone would have listened when I said it was time for FF to get out two weeks before he was born! :D

You need to say "BABY, GIT OUT OF MAH BELLY!" Keeping fingers and toes crossed, prayers said and you in my thots and hopes! Got a name yet? Maybe she's waiting for you to decide.
