40 Weeks and 5 Days

I am not in labour yet! Jeff and I can hardly believe it...I am more uncomfortable every day (mostly when sleeping though so getting through my day isn't too bad). Today has been a good day in some ways and I think it's gotta be close. I've had pretty much the strongest Braxton Hicks contraction all day that just won't go away no matter how much water and fluids I intake and have experienced nausea throughout the day with some lovely abdominal cramps and backache. Other than that I've had quite the bursts of energy today...I've done quite a bit of laundry and some cleaning and was able to make the baby "area/room" functional for at least awhile. :)

For those of you who do not live in Alberta - we're experiencing some crazy weather. It's been snowing almost constantly since yesterday around noon. It feels very cold outside with this windchill at -19C. We're supposed to get about 20cm of snow by Tuesday (10-15cm of this is supposed to come tomorrow)! I'm going to attach a couple shots of the snow blowing outside taken this afternoon from our front window. There is also a shot of me and my friend Lia taken yesterday (not very flattering of me though...) and a special shot of me struggling to zip up my oversized winter jacket today. For those of you who have seen how big this jacket is you'll know that I'm HUGE compared to the rest of the winter season. I seriously thought I'd never have issues trying to do up the zipper but the last two weeks have proven me wrong!
