40 weeks- We made it!

Week 40
I’m done. Tank is cooked. Now let’s get him out!! 40 weeks is the end of a term pregnancy. Most babies that make it to 40 weeks weigh anywhere from 6-9lbs and 19-22 inches. The bones in his skull has not fused yet, (THANK GOD), so that way he can fit through the birth canal. So how long is too long? Usually no practitioner will let you go beyond 42 weeks. I am hoping they don’t let me go beyond 41, though I do despise the though of being induced. I have an OB check up on Tuesday where they will check my cervix to see if I am making any progress.

Did you know that when Tank is born he will not have functioning tear ducts? They don’t develop until a little after a month. 
So now i'm on maternity leave. We (me, my mom, and Kris) are just killing time. Working on doing things to get Tank moving. I'm using the time to catch up on small house hold projects. No it's not nesting, its just having free time!  I feel good. I guess since I have never had a child before I have no idea what to expect or if I feel different. We will keep you posted each day. We are trying to enjoy our time with sunny day walks. 

Hiking and loving. Trying to motivate Tank
