Yep... I'm still pregnant.
Everyone always tells you that your due date doesn't mean anything and not to count on it at all, especially for first babies. That makes complete and total sense, until you watch your due date come and go and you are still massively pregnant and uncomfortable!
My estimated due date was last Friday, May 6th, and while we had high hopes that baby Beard would make her appearance over the weekend, she apparently is just too comfortable right where she is! We went in for a growth scan yesterday just to make sure that my fluid levels are still looking good and that baby is still healthy, and we passed with flying colors. The ultrasound tech estimated her weight at 8lbs 5oz, and although those estimations can be off by as much as 3/4 of a pound, we think it sounds pretty accurate considering Mike and I were both over 8lbs at birth. Big, chunky babies for the win! ;)
A lot of people have been asking if we've set an induction date yet and no, we haven't. I'm really hoping to avoid induction unless it's absolutely necessary, but I also don't plan on being pregnant for more than 42 weeks, so I guess we'll see which comes first. All that matters for now is that she and I are both still healthy, and we'll just keep our fingers crossed that she decides to come sooner rather than later!
Until then, you can find me doing as much dog walking, stair climbing, and exercise ball bouncing as my huge pregnant self can stand, with a few chocolate milkshakes thrown in for good measure ;) Happy Tuesday everyone, and if you have any secret tips on how to naturally induce labor PLEASE send them my way!! :)
