I don't have a new picture to add but maybe I will sort one out tomorrow. I do have a full week until the "due date" not that that day will mean anything, as I am told. The research says that only 4-5% of women actually deliver on their due date, so I am a preggo in waiting at the moment. Anytime from a few days ago until 2 1/2 weeks from now is "race day". What a weird feeling to be waiting. It seems more anxious to be waiting now, that it is impending, than it did for the last 38 weeks!
Today Bryce was in a multisport race with two other guys from my PE department at school. Bryce did the 30km MTBike section, then Richard did a 16 km run and then Tomo did a 12 km paddle. The boys came 2nd in their category and 3rd or 4th overall, which made for a pretty exciting race. not so exciting that the baby came early mind you. There were some moments last night that made me wonder if labour was afoot and we considered what to do about getting someone to take Bryce's place for the race. Luckily, everything stayed intact and they got to compete together.
I have a week ahead of just trying to fit things in, in my schedule which is free for the first time ever. I think I will miss the structure of the school day, although with diapers and feedings, I might hate structure in a few weeks. So I am encouraging myself to just enjoy this week as much as possible before my freedom goes......
The sweepstakes for when I will "pop" began last week with staff from school having selected a few days early. More people have opted for me going late. Will be interesting to see who gets the closest guess. It is daunting to see their guesses for how big the baby will be. Someone has put it at 9lb 12oz. My brother Tim was about that size and I was 9lb10oz. Aye aye aye. Let's hope Bryce's genes override the Knight "big baby" gene....for my cervix's sake anyway.....
