40 weeks today...and still pregnant

No, the baby isn't hear yet. Let's make that clear. Everyone is blowing up the phone, asking me if he is here...Um no. Today is the estimated due date but you know, sonograms can be inaccurate and full term is technically from 37-42 weeks. So I still have 2 weeks until the baby would be considered "post-term". I am sitting here at work, chillin'. My boss came over to see if I was here. Yup, still here, twiddling my thumbs, taking care of any little business that comes up during the day. I saw my midwife this morning. The baby's heartbeat was so clear today. He's got a strong little heart. :) My midwife estimates that the baby will be 7 and half to 8 pounds. That's pretty good. My midwife also has a new assistant; I have to decide whether or not I am okay with her attending my birth. I'll think about it... Anyway, just chillin', waiting for the little prince to come out and say hi!

Good Mama, I *love* your patience.

Yeah, I'd worry about a new assistant too. I'd like to know what you decide. :)

Yeah I don't know how I feel about having someone I haven't gotten to know so well at the birth. Besides that, me and the baby are totally jamming to the Igbo song/video you put on your blog! :)
