40 weeks + 5

Yesterday we had our 40 week check up with the midwives. Little one seems fairly happy and cozy inside, though he has dropped significantly. From the previous week, my belly measurement went down by one full centimeter! This drop has definitely made it easier and more comfortable to eat. Not only has my appetite been better, but I am able to eat more things - so I finally get to move past my toast, cottage cheese, and applesauce diet! Though truth be told, I'm still a little scared of acidic and spicy foods! We made our appointment for next week, in the sincere hopes that we will be able to cancel it. Jim is secretly hoping for a Labor day baby, get it, Labor day -- I was less than amused as well! :)
