I will be 40 weeks pregnant this coming week! Isha is in the same position she has been in for many weeks, but maybe even a little better. Her back is out toward the right side of my body, explaining the stretch marks on that side and the stronger back muscles also on that side. It looks to me like she is starting to "drop", although since it is already possible to feel her head from inside the birth canal, how much further down can her head drop in advance?? All of this is so mysterious. One foot or knee kicks out in front on the left. Sometimes she gets the hiccups and we feel the rhythmic vibrations. We have everything we need for the birth, including frozen cubes of electrolyte snapple and bendable straws.
