42 weeks update

So in 1976 when mom told me she was having another baby due January 1, 1977 I was so excited! I told her, "Wow, maybe the baby will be born on MY birthday! (Jan. 23rd)" She protested saying that for certain the baby will be born before then! Well, days passed by and the new little one didn't arrive until Jan. 26th- 25 days late! My darling little sister was born and everything, of course, was well. It wasn't the first time my mother went so far past. My brother was also late. I think he was also 4 weeks passed. So, I suppose it just takes longer for the Schwartz women to bake a bun. I have an appointment with Lydi tomorrow. She's not worried. Today is actually day 300 since my last menstrual period. (286 days since ovulation). I am actually on the last day of being on time as shown throughout history. It really isn't until tomorrow that I am "officially" late. That was a nice piece of information to find out about. The baby is moving well and the heartbeat is around 132 bpm- still sounding nice and strong. My belly is getting heavy to carry around. I've had some more pressure on my coccyx bone when I walk alot. I asked Lydi about Danny's question- if the baby couldn't engage because of the cord being wrapped around. She said no. The baby would still descend and the birthing part would just be irregular and longer. So that's put to rest. I am feeling good resting on the birth ball and just taking it easy. I don't feel like cleaning or scrubbing or doing laundry. I just want some rest. The kids are playing outside in the sprinkler today. Ahhh, nice and peaceful in the house.
