40 weeks!

This will be my last weekly check-in. Next Wednesday will be my induction date so Baby Jarbs will come out whether she likes it or not!! lol.

How far along?: 40w3d
How big is the baby?: Still the size of a watermelon! An overripe watermelon that is :-)
Weight gain/loss:  I stopped weighing myself! :-) It's my last week of being pregnant so I am just enjoying the ride.
Pregnancy symptoms: huge belly, numb fingers due to pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome, huge appetite
Maternity clothes: sweat pants, long tank tops
Stretch Marks: none! crossing fingers that they wouldn't magically appear on my 40th week
Sleep: Still thankful that I am getting a decent amount of sleep and do not feel uncomfortable sleeping
Best moment this week: Telling random people (who ask) I was due last Sunday and see the panic in their faces. It's kinda amusing.
Movement: I can still feel her move and switch positions. Most of the time she has her butt sticking out in the middle of my belly
Food cravings: sweets :-(
Food aversions: none
Labor signs: dilated cervix as of last Friday but for the past couple of days, no labor signs! :-/. Daddy Jarbs thinks my belly has dropped though.
Belly button in or out: outie!
What I miss: Being in control of my body. I can't wait to get my "normal" self back.
What I am looking forward to: Going into labor and meeting our little pumpkin
Milestones:

As long as she's in your belly, baby's hair and nails will continue to grow, and her lungs will keep developing. She's anywhere from 5 to 11 pounds and is getting ready for a slightly gooey introduction any day now. (Upon arrival, baby will probably be covered in blood, vernix caseosa, lanugo, and amniotic fluid.)
