I'm not overdue. In fact, I'm only 38 weeks 3 days pregnant. But this is now my longest pregnancy. My daughter would have been born yesterday, and my son 5 days ago. So it kinda feels late to me. With all the prelabor activity starting at 34 weeks, and the several false starts I've already had, I really thought I'd be holding my baby by now. I guess this is what they mean by "the third baby throws you for a loop!" My midwife laughed and admitted she was waiting for me to go 2 weeks overdue, though she also said she didn't think I actually would. God, I hope she's right. No way I can imagine this pregnancy being a MONTH longer than my other two, not to mention that my son was nearly 8.5 lbs at 37.5 weeks...so an extra month could mean a rather large baby!
I'm hoping this extra time means no jaundice or breastfeeding problems this time. And it would be cool if the prelabor lead to an extremely short and easy labor. Wishful thinking? Probably. But I've got a lot of time for thinking right now, and I'm choosing to think about that. :)
