I'm hoping this menu plan won't happen and I'll be in the hospital having the baby this week (I'm due on Tuesday), but just in case I'm late again, I'm making a menu plan for the week. Plus, I'm trying to keep myself busy! These last couple weeks are absolute torture just waiting...
Monday: Fresh salmon ceviche & pinto beans in tortillas, corn on the cob
Tuesday: Husband's birthday - Mother-in-law making us dinner
Wednesday: Gardenburgers, homemade french fries
Thursday: Chicken, cabbage & top ramen salad, balsamic vinegar feta dressing over fresh tomatoes
Friday: Spicy Indian Chicken & Mango Curry, rice & salad
As for a pregnancy update, there isn't much to report other than my midwife thinks this baby is going to be big. They estimated her weight at 8.5 - 9 lbs. about a week and a half ago! I'm trying not to freak out about how big she will be, but it's been hard. I'm walking, going to acupuncture and doing pretty much everything else I can to get labor started.
My midwife will not induce until I'm a week and a half late so I'm stuck just waiting...and praying she isn't as big as they were thinking!

Good luck getting labor started and at not having TOO huge of a baby!
Oh goodness, I hope they are wrong about the size of your baby too. I hope she doesn't hold out too much longer for your sake. I hope you have a quick & easy birth process. :-)
Thanks for all you do on this site!
Wow, you're still posting and you're due in 2 days - amazing!
Hope that your birthing experience is fantastic, beautiful and unique this time around!
Wow - your due date is on your hubby's bday - that's awesome! My youngest was due around the same time as my husbands bday - she ended up being a little early and was born right in the middle of my bday and his bday (yes, all 3 birthday's fall within 12 days of eachother - then my son is almost exactly 6 months from us) Good luck with everything - hopefully you'll have her this week!!!

Good luck with the baby...can't wait to hear what name you pick!
I used my albies doubles today..in case anyone is looking of good ways to use them:
buy 4 honey bunches of oats, doubled 2 $1.00 coupons = 2.00, but I used the $2.00 survey coupons and got them for FREE
Juicy Juice 8 pks are 2.50...I doubled a .75 coupon and got them for .50 each.
Skinimates shaving cream is 2.50 and I doubled a 1.00 coupon and paid .50 each.
When I make a quick run to the store just to use doubles...I also like to return my pop cans at that time because then they extra change makes my total oop -0-!
Good luck, Erika! Hope she comes soon & isn't TOO big! I had an u/s at 38wks with my 2nd because I was measuring ahead. They estimated her at 9lbs plus or minus a lb on that u/s! We tried inducing at 39wks, but ended up doing a c-section instead. She was born weighing 8lbs 9oz...much better than what I thought she was going to weigh! :)
