Nope. Still no sign.... but then I didnt really expect her to be here yet. I am holding out in the hope that she will make her appearance during the weekend or early hours of Monday (so I can cancel my OB appointment! hehe).
On the other side of the coin, the longer she stays put, the longer I have to do the last minute bits and pieces like set up the baby monitors, finish packing the hospital bag (yes, I fully admit that I am 39 weeks and 4 days and have a half finished hospital bag), start the thank you cards (and finish them when I get out of hospital at some point... after all I want to be able to announce her name, weight and when she arrived) plus all the other little things which have come up out of the blue.
Last night MrK and I had a productive evening, we added a few more bits to the hospital bag and we managed to build the "Pack N Play" which is otherwise known as a travel cot in the UK. Seriously, everything has a different name. Baby related anyway.

Needless to say it makes it a little bit difficult at times to work out what is what. But I am getting there. Prior to getting pregnant I had no idea what half this stuff was or what it was used for so I have made some progress that is for sure!
I admit, prior to getting pregnant I wasnt all over every baby I met. I was somewhat immune it seemed. But then my body went "I want a baby, I want a baby and I want it now". Perhaps if I had been more into it babies before I would have been more informed and involved.
Anyway, last night we went to bed and MrK turned around and said "I don't think I am ready for a baby", I know full well he was just experiencing the fear which us mothers to be feel almost constantly or to some degree through out the pregnancy and didnt mean it. BUT, I did inform him that it was a bit late as her arrival was imminent. She could arrive tomorrow... or in two weeks time!
I actually for maybe only the 4th time in the past two months I had a trouble getting to sleep but not a bad night of sleep, why? KMK was acting like an octopus. I had legs and arms all over the place, god only knows how! Baby movements at 39 weeks hurt. I am interested to see just how big this little one is going to be!
Onwards and upwards. She will arrive when she arrives and nothing I can do about it right now :)
