40+6!!!

It'll be 41 weeks in less than a hour and she'll be officially a week late. Seriously. Who thought it was going to last this long? Even the guesstimates from the baby shower all ended by the 14th. (Not including Sarah's - but she was hoping the baby would share her baby's birthday!) I should have know this little one was going to be late. I thought she was a boy... she was a girl. I thought she'd be early, so of course she'd be late. Can't let me get anything right! :D So much for a mother's intuition.

I have my last scheduled appointment with the consultant tomorrow at 1:50pm. So by the end of tomorrow I should at least have an induction scheduled. (Not that I particularly want to be induced. I hear it's more painful than labour starting naturally. It'll just be nice to know when she'll be here by.)

The house is far from perfect, but at least the upstairs is coming along. The hall has finally been cleared of oodles of junk. (I can walk through it without tripping over anything now!) The study is still super cluttered, but that cluttered has been forced into something resembling order and you can now walk un-accosted through the study as well! Our bedroom is almost finished... just need to find a home for a few more tripping hazards. Downstairs isn't as promising. It's not as bad as it was a few weeks ago, but there's definitely still some work to be done. Really I wouldn't worry so much about it, but under the system here, a midwife will be coming out to the house at least once a week for a while and totally judging me by my bad housekeeping.

I'm kinda hoping that I can tidy up the downstairs, finish the laundry and then go into labour.. all tonight. That way I don't have to go to the doctor's appointment tomorrow. Plus, baby totally isn't letting me sleep anymore so I feel like I might as well have her here to entertain me while I'm not sleeping. *grins*
