Katrina at 39 weeks


Less than one week to go (supposedly!)

I cannot believe how fast the past 9 months have gone by!! I'm now only 5 days away from my due date, although the Dr said most first time pregnancies are about a week late.

As of last Wednesday, I was about one cm dilated. I have not felt any contractions and do not have any other early signs of labor. I still feel good, other than recent pressure on my low back/sciatica as the baby drops lower. I'm still exercising regularly (and get some funny double takes at the gym!) and am sleeping well. I'm feeling a bit tired, but still have a decent amount of energy.

I'm on my second week of maternity leave, which has been great! I was too productive last week and completed my long checklist of last minute things to get done, so I may get bored this week (but hopefully will be able to enjoy just being lazy!!).

We are ready to meet our little bundle of joy!
