I've been re-assured by my Doctor, the labour and delivery nurses who saw me through the 44 hour ordeal, the whole surgical team, and all the post delivery nurses that I have the worst delivery story they have experience in a long while....
Not quite the plan I had envisioned - but in any case, it is over, I am home at last, and our little one is here - he (along with Pete and I) is happy as a clam, and undeniably (to us anyways, but we are understandably biased) he is the cutest thing we have ever laid our eyes on.
Without further ado - our darling William

A theory
I think I've figured it out, why our little once hasn't made his/her appearance. Although my decided due date is tomorrow (after being changed from the 17th, to the 10th and then finally tomorrow) I was convinced that he/she was coming early - I even bet on the 29th in my baby pool, and my husband bet on the 1st - oops!
Anyways, as I sit about my apartment (on sick leave for the past 3 weeks - a blood pressure thing) I've come to have more positive feelings about where I live. Originally, I was rather unhappy with my apartment - the location was awesome, the amount of space was also awesome, however the kitchen and bathroom left something to be desired. But hey, when your husband has 2 days to find a place to live while your house is bring built, somethings are less important. As I was saying, since I've been home, and Pete works from home 4 days a week, we've had a great time cooking, cleaning, getting things organized for our new arrival - it's become more of a home, I'm almost sad that we get to leave in 1 month and 11 days. But my theory regarding why this little one won't come out is because he/she would rather live in the house and not our 1 bedroom apartment....

Still nothing
Because Heather put it so eloquently (she is due today, me on friday) - head over and read the post on being 40 weeks pregnant.
I've had my share of texts / facebook messages / bb messages / phone calls all inquiring about the status of Baby S - all well meaning and all nice, but no, nothing yet and yes, I will make sure to call everyone once he/she arrives.
Besides just wanting to hold / meet one wee one, I seriously cannot wait to

Besides just wanting to hold / meet one wee one, I seriously cannot wait to
- sleep on something other than my aching hips (ie: my back)
- eat sushi, soft cheese and prosciutto
- bend down to pick something up
- have my hands back (swelling + carpel tunnel = useless appendages)
- not have heartburn all the time
- wearing all sorts of shoes - not just sandals
- get back to running (my last run was at 6 months when Pete and I visited Calgary)
