Nothing much to report here. Actually, week 39 starts tomorrow - Monday - but I'm impatient. It'd be great if the baby came early since Cristiano is working much less during this extended holiday period. There are about four or five Catholic holidays here between Dec. 24 and Jan. 6. Cristiano officially goes back to work on Jan. 7, which is my due date. If the baby arrives after that time, he will not have as much time to spend with us. Oh well. It's out of our hands. I had planned on overloading the system with raspberry tea, spicy foods and - if need be - castor oil in order to encourage the baby to come out, but I've been sick, so it's actually probably better that I haven't gone into labor. I had a nasty cold that turned into an ear infection, and I still have a bad cough after three weeks.
A midwife came last week to check me out and she told me that everything looks fine. The baby's head as of last week was "fully engaged," so I guess that's a good thing. I am starting to go a bit stir crazy in the house. It's bitterly cold outside, and I have a bad cough and can't do much of anything. I feel enormous and sedentary. I'd give anything to go to the gym or take a long power walk. Yet, all I can do is sit here and wait...It looks like baby will not make it for 2007. Happy New Year!
