40 weeks and beyond

How far along:
as of today, 41 weeks

Baby is the size of a:
small pumpkin
 
Total weight gain:
19.5 lbs
 
Maternity Clothes?
same as before

Stretch Marks?
a couple of small new ones that appeared around the 38 week mark

Sleep?
terrible, my hips are in agony when I get up in the morning. Also I have started snoring, much to my girlfriend's delight, ha!
 
Best moment of the Week:
every time I get to hear the heartbeat at the doctor

Movement:
still quite a lot


Food Cravings:
grilled cheese sandwiches
 
Belly Button in or out:
in
 
Gender:
girl
 
Symptoms:
nothing new
 
Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
I seem to get sick in the evening, no matter how little I eat
 
Have you Started to Show yet?
haha, yes I'd expect so at 41 weeks ;-)
 
What I miss: 
sleeping on my stomach
 
What I'm looking forward to:
finally getting to meet the little girl I've been carrying inside of me for the past 10 months
 
What I'm not looking forward to:
labour, I had a 'stretch & sweep' at 40+6 and that wasn't pleasant, so we'll see how I'm going to cope in labour.

Anything else?
If I haven't gone into labour on my own, I have been booked for induction for Monday the 19th when I will be 13 days overdue. No 'non stress tests' or checking of fluid levels over here in the UK, just the midwife feeling your tummy and listening to baby's heartbeat to check all is fine in there.
