The annoying things…

about being past the due date are:

1) I’m just getting fatter and fatter each day. I’ve easily gained more weight than friends who have delivered at 38 weeks.  So I have to work that much harder to get the weight off!

2) Annoying calls from people who don’t really care about my well-being, okay just one person. But really, this girl just wants to know how fat or uncomfortable I am, it’s kinda annoying. It’s none of you guys, I heart you guys.  She doesn’t read me, she doesn’t know it exists. 

3) Feeling paranoid that Baby A is not doing well in my belly because the placenta may be getting old or the cord may be constricted (especially when I don’t feel anything for a while- but the doctor says just to blast some music and wake her up.)

Otherwise, I’m feeling really good and mobile (thank goodness!).  I’ve had a fairly comfortable pregnancy (but that doesn’t mean that it was easy), R should feel really lucky.  No cravings, no bed rest, no “scares.”  But it’s not over yet… My nurse told me on Monday that her sister had to get an emergency c-section and delivered a stillborn.  Sadness.  

There is light at the end of the tunnel, if Baby A doesn’t want to come out by Saturday or Sunday, we’re forcing her out.  She can’t stay in there forever!  Thanks for all your love and support.
