38 weeks and 3 days

I'm getting close to the end now. It's just a waiting game. Kaua came at 38 weeks and 5 days (I think) which would make that this Wednesday. However, I feel like this baby isn't going to come as early. It's kind of fun, trying to figure out which day I'll go into labor. The excitement, the anticipation. I keep looking for the signs I had with kaua. The day I went into labor, I lost my mucus plug slowly throughout the day. Everytime I went to the bathroom, I saw a lot of mucus on my toilet paper. I also had some diarrhea (I know, doesn't everyone want to rehear these intricate bodily funcition details?). I then had a backache after dinner, which turned into labor pains and contractions. I had the bloody show that night as well. Still waiting for any of these signs. My mom keeps checking in to see if I'm in labor. I'm like, Mom, I'll call you, dont worry. She wants me to go early b/c she's made travel arrangments for the day after my due date. Helloooooo, no one told you to make travel arrangements then (which is also my birthday, yeah, see how special I am on my mom's list?).

Anyways, its a waiting game. I'm definitely ready to be NOT pregnant. I'm huge, I'm swollen, my stomach is getting stretch marks, I'm uncomfortable, i dont fit any of my clothes. Yah, this is so NOT glamorous! C'mon baby, we're ready to meet u!
