38 weeks

I'm up early this morning, full of anticipation of what might happen today. Before I begin, I better explain the title of this post. 38 weeks refers to our Doctor's estimation of the number of weeks that have passed since conception. On the internet you can estimate the arrival date of your baby by using a 'pregnancy calculator' which calculates the number of weeks since the first day of the mothers last menstrual cycle, so in Wannida's case she is already past 40 weeks.
Right, here we go... After a week of waiting around and not much else we finally had an awful nights sleep. No sooner had Wannida layed down, the kicking would start which usually results in a trip to the toilet. I stopped counting after seven flushes only because I fell asleep. After what felt like 30 minutes I awoke to realise Wannida was sitting up and not very happy. "Time to go?" I inquired... (nope, ok back to sleep).
As I write this Wannida is finally asleep and our wait continues. In about three hours we hopefully make our last trip to Paolo for a checkup. As usual I'll be posting an update shortly.
