You look so good!! I went 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS over with my youngest (son) and at the time I went with flow (how could I not! ;) ) my ob/gyn was fab didn’t believe in “intervening” and I went into labour naturally. Had a fast delivery too!
Here’s hoping you have a fast delivery and your adorable, happy, healthy baby girl is in your arms soon!
keep your mind open and go with the flow.
You might not feel like making love right now but it helps!
Both my babies were saturday babies.
maybe its tomorrow !
No, the baby isn’t here yet. I’m scheduled to be induced Tuesday morning if I don’t have her before then. I’m really hoping she comes sooner… I had hoped to labor at home for the early part and to avoid Pitocin and pain medication.
You and I had the same due date but I had my daughter a week early via C-section….so I keep checking your blog to see if you’ve had your little baby yet (while I am up 24/7 nursing and walking the floors with my sweetie). I hope things go well for the three of you and yes you do look really great. Try and sleep, the baby will be here soon.
As I send this, I am in hopes that she little miss making it not so lovely has arrived! My Mother is a huge proponent for being pregnant as long as you can!
She said, they sleep better. My daughter was late – and a great sleeper!
(just not at sleep-overs!) lol.
I ditto the fact that you look amazing! Pink is your color, but of course you already know that!
I was a week overdue last fall, and I got induced. It wasn’t the funnest thing I’ve ever gone through, but once I got the epidural, it was OK. The important thing is that you’re going to finally meet your little girl! Once you do, none of this stuff will matter anymore. Good luck. :)
hang in there! once she’s here- you’ll have her for life! go for some nice strolls with the hubby & maybe a couple dates for the last few *peaceful* times! they are great- but *time* kind of changes after kiddos :)
I will agree with everyone and say you look lovely, but totally understand that it must not feel that way to you right now. BTW, your haircut is awesome.
Love the pink cardi! I went a week past my due date, too. The dr. told me on the 3rd if nothing happened on the 4th that we’d be inducing on the 5th. It must’ve triggered something because baby came on the 4th!
At this point I’m sure you’re just ready to hold that beautiful girl. Best wishes and here’s to a comfortable as possible last few moments.
I learned last week in my childbirth class that the average human gestation period is actual 41 1/7 weeks. The 40 weeks is a very old number and was based on an assumption of 9 lunar months. Why they still use this number to give your due date is anyone’s guess.
You’re so cute! I hope this past week has been at least semi-pleasant or you. My daughter was born a week after her due date, but I had back labor that whole week. Ouch!
You look beautiful and I sure hope I look that beautiful at 41 weeks pregnant. I am excited to meet your little baby through the web. Thanks for the hope that a very pregnant women still can have style and fashion.
Having your first baby is the most amazing thing ever. It is like falling in love again. You are positively glowing. Hope your sweet baby arrives before Tues. Try jumping jacks!
I was exactly one week late and the doctor said he would be coming probably later that night. I was like, “Yeah RIGHT!” because I honestly thought he was NEVER coming out. Anyway, I predict she will be coming late tonight or sometime tomorrow. Good luck!!! How exciting!!!
I keep checking on you and a few other bloggers that are due any day, it is kind of fun to see who goes first. I’m sure you wish it would just happen already!!
Thats a great photo!
You don’t have long to go…I know its easy to say and everyday feels like forever.
I have been there. Try to enjoy your last free days.
Okay, I’ll be the jerk here and just say it… Late babies are cuter. They’re just all, I don’t know, done! Less hairy, curly, waxy, old-looking. Late babies are plump little cherubs from go. No offense, posters, I love all of your babies, too. They’re all perfect little snowflakes.
I’ll add my voice to the chorus – you look terrific!
I love the color palette of this photo. You need to add some dark bottle green to the pink and white in your home – it’s such a classic and pretty combo.
Both of my kids were exactly 3.5 weeks over due. We joke that they enjoyed the spa-like, warm environment so well they just didn’t want to leave. Since they’re now 26 and 14, I really miss being pregnant. Enjoy this time – you’ll look back on it fondly — guaranteed!
Oh you poor thing! But you still look so cute and stylish!! hang in there and try to stay as comfortable as possible. I know that is almost impossible at this point though. {hugs}
Oh I’m so excited for you. There is nothing like becoming a mommy. You are going to love it. Take a long walk and then if you can stand it have sex:) That really helps.
i do love this picture! and you will too in like 3 years when your little one starts to saying “i can do it myself!” you will look back on this picture and say things like..”man i wish you were a baby again!”
yeah although you feel akward..this picture is PERFECTION! :)
btw..my khalil was 1 week and 1 day “late” so 41 weeks and 1 day…so feel “good” that you arent the only one “overdue” i never trusted the whole date thing anyway…
As a fellow woman who was overdue (42 weeks for both my kids) I vote that the ‘normal’ gestation period be changed to 42 weeks!…Also, as others have said, she will come when she is ready. All the very best for the coming weeks I’m sure you, your husband and family/friends will be over the moon when your little one decides to make her appearance. xox
You look so great!!! Good luck with everything and I’m sure she’ll be here before you know it. I love that you are calmly waiting for her arrival. I know several people who have been past their due date and they start demanding to be induced…but you seem so peaceful and it really shows.
Stretchy pants, ha! You look great anyway! I think it’s your knack of looking “put-together” that we’re all envying. If it were me, I’d be wearing whatever was most comfortable for sitting on the couch. Actually, that’s what I’m wearing now and I’m not even pregnant!
Well, I wasn’t going to say it, but I’m pretty sure I felt the world counter-rotate when I noticed you were wearing pants! Pants or no, you still look great!
I just gave birth a few weeks ago. I was 42 weeks and 2 days. Technically, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists does not consider you over due until 42 weeks. I only mention it in case you feel any pressure to induce. Good luck. Hang in there. Your little girl will come when she is ready.
Confession: I think it’s kind of funny that everyone keeps saying how great I look. I mean, I really appreciate it, but I certainly don’t feel like I’m looking great these days! I feel huge and awkward, and I’m wearing stretchy pants in that photo (the horror).
But you know, thanks! ;)
And the necklace is a few years old – I think I bought it at Express.
All I can say is just try not to get impatient and enjoy these last few days together before you life changes forever. Hope all goes well for you.

(ps have you tried castor oil? I did it for both pregnancies and labour started within hours)
you look great! my son was supposed to be induced – he was 9 days late – and i didn’t want that. so i went for a combination of hot fudge sundaes, spicy wings and accupuncture. That did the trick!! we avoided induction. GOOD LUCK!!
My doctor won’t let me go past 42 weeks, so I’ll be induced if I don’t have the baby by next Tuesday. Obviously I’m hoping she’ll make her appearance before then!
Oh my! I looked like a bloated up mad woman at 1 week overdue – you look fabulous! Im convinced (no scientific basis at all!) that overdue babies are too happy & chilled out to be born yet & this makes for contented little newborns.
You look great! I actually felt great (if absolutely enormous) until the end. They were going to induce me at 41 weeks, but then my substitute doctor realized the baby was potentially 12 pounds and advised me to get a c-section. (She ended up being 10 lbs.) Regardless, she had not even dropped at 41 weeks. How long will your doctor let you wait?
I want to echo all the previous comments….you look gorgeous and baby will come. Enjoy these last precious moments of silent waiting – to me it seemed like an intensely close time between my unborn daughter and myself. Wishing you well.
After 5 1/2 years, I can’t remember exactly whether she was early or late. Hubby says she was a week early.
It still felt like it took forever for her to get here.
How fun! I check in every day just to see! I was 41 weeks, too- induced in the end- argh!
Anyhoo, enjoy this time- you do look great and I LOVE the hair- is it new-ish???

I hope you still check your comments on two-year-old posts because I HAVE to know where you go that necklace!! Love! And you look gorgeous!
Making it Lovely
I got that maybe five years ago at Express. I think.
Sarah
You look fantastic. Babies always make their entrance in their own time. She’s so lucky to have you both as parents.
Down Comforter
God bless you :) If it makes you feel any better, I was almost a month overdue – I weighed 11 lbs, 10 oz. My poor mom :)

Okay, I’ll be the jerk here and just say it… Late babies are cuter. They’re just all, I don’t know, done! Less hairy, curly, waxy, old-looking. Late babies are plump little cherubs from go. No offense, posters, I love all of your babies, too. They’re all perfect little snowflakes.
But yeah, late babies are cuter.
Good luck, N. Have a healthy and easy delivery.
