40 weeks, G's due date

Today is the due date...as suspected we have not had a baby yet.  I predict next week is going to be a much more likely time.  Dominic said on Thursday that this coming Tuesday March 23rd, would work well for him and I think G and I agree.  There are several reasons:
1. Baby won't share a birthday with any immediate family (Cindy's birthday was the 19th, Tony's birthday is the 24th, and Dominic's is the 25th)
2. Dominic can take the rest of the week and the following week off without feeling like he's taking too much time
3. The Garguile's will be able to meet a baby when they come just before Easter
4. it means mama (that's me!) was right and G went overdue but we didn't have to go that far over.
5. We get one more weekend child-free to just enjoy life without the responsibility of possibly messing someone up forever :)

This is the final fruit/veggie comparision and it isn't small!

It's hard to say for sure how big your baby will be, but the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds (a small pumpkin) and is about 20 inches long. His skull bones are not yet fused, which allows them to overlap a bit if it's a snug fit through the birth canal during labor. This so-called "molding" is the reason your baby's noggin may look a little conehead-ish after birth. Rest assured — it's normal and temporary

Some belly shots:  The big question I get now is "have you dropped?"  What do you think?

One more thing that people say to me all the time now is "you're so small you can't be due then" or the similar "you look too good to be due that soon".  I detest these comments.  I feel like I'm apologizing for handling pregnancy well and I shouldn't have to!  I've tried to stay active and eat reasonably even if I do LOVE dessert.  I'm certain it's genetic and I emphatically thank my family for those genes!  LEAVE ME ALONE PEOPLE, I promise this baby is a bit bigger than you all imagine besides, I'm up 22 pounds and that's perfectly normal. I'm off my rant now :)

Here is the summary, 1st shot ever, 10wks, 20wks, 30wks and 40wks!  Certainly some growth in those last 10wks

Dominic is going to do a final shot once I go into labor and a compilation video of the full progress and hopefully eventually the back to 'normal' as well. In the mean time I'll be cleaning, organizing and trying not to drive everyone crazy (or maybe be driven crazy by all the people asking 'have you had the baby yet?")
