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.
my conversations with dave and others re: this weekend “yea, i can do that… unless js gives birth.” “yea, he can come over for dinner… but i’ll need to leave if js gives birth.” i CAN’T wait. sending good labor wishes your way!
