Who knew a world could change so completely in six short weeks. Granted, some of those short weeks had some incredibly long days, but when I look at my little Ruby I can’t believe she’s already been a part of our family for that long. Shortly after she was born, everyone told me that things seem to take a corner by 6 weeks, and that things would get a little easier. They were right. Not that Ruby has been a difficult baby–it couldn’t be more opposite–but she does need my attention much of the time, and I happily give it to her. (She’s simply too cute. I can’t say no.)…

How Far Along: 41 Weeks* Size of Baby: A Mini Watermelon Weight Gain: 27 pounds Movement: She is definitely moving less now that she has less space, but all things considered she’s still very active. The coolest part is now I can feel exactly what’s moving inside me–I can tell when it’s a foot bumping out, or a hand sliding across my belly, and I can always tell where her little bum is positioned. haha She still gets the hiccups, though it’s not nearly as often. She went from having them 2 – 3 times a day to having them once every 2- 3 days. Cravings: Oh, I would have…

Last night I mentioned that I was nervous about my impending induction date coming up on Tuesday, and I so appreciate all the love and support that has come forth from you lovelies. It’s reassuring to hear that induction wasn’t a horrible process for many of you… it really does alleviate some of the anxiety I have had. There was also an outpouring of questions regarding why I was going to be induced if I was nervous about it. I probably should have explained better last night, but I was tired and more focused on the emotions behind what’s coming rather than the reasons for it. First of all, my…

I haven’t felt terribly motivated to write this week. The wee-bean’s due date was this past Sunday, though I had been fairly certain for some time that she would not be making her grand entrance into the world that day. For the most part, I’ve been enjoying this quiet week with the Hubster. I’ve been sleeping in (all the way to 7am!), catching up on my favourite shows, and accomplishing all those tasks around the house that I’ve had rolling around in my mind. The wee-bean’s room is prepped and ready, her clothes are washed and organized, and her little library of books is neatly set out, ready for use.…

How Far Along: 39 Weeks* Size of Baby: A Mini Watermelon Weight Gain: 30 pounds Movement: All kinds of it, though I am definitely feeling it in new places. She is still most active in the evenings, she usually starts rocking out around 8:30 pm and goes non-stop for about 2 hours. Last night I felt her lower than I have ever felt her before, which leads me to believe she she may be on her way fairly soon… which makes sense as my due date is, you know, tomorrow. Still lots of hiccups, and now you can actually feel her little hands and feet bumping out as she stretches…
