So…
this is just to let you all know (if you’re wondering) that I don’t have a baby yet. My official due date was yesterday, and I know, I know, due dates are arbitrary things, but the last desperate days of pregnancy are not rational. All the hormones, the unknown-ness, the waiting, put you on an emotional roller coaster. 4 of my 5 previous births happened at least a week before the date– and those days of contractions can sure get my hopes up, then dash them to pieces.
I’m just not sure what to post about these days, so I’m just going to wait until I have pictures of a fresh new face for you.
All I ask is for some good vibes and prayers sent my way that this baby will come on out! We keep telling her it really is more fun out here than in a dark water balloon. I guess she’s not quite convinced…
I can’t be pregnant forever, though, right?
43, 42, 40, 42 = the weeks of my pregnancies.
I SO understand the waiting and am sending you a gazillion wonderful birthing vibes. Do you have a doula? Do you want one?
Once I reach the over the due date, I pretend the baby is never going to come out and I should move on with my life. I’ll send prayers your way. Hang in there.
Can’t wait to see pictures – hope she comes SOON! 😀
Love Beth Malm’s comment.
I remember Logan coming late. He took his time but if I remember right his birth was just about perfect.
Enjoy your last moments of pregnancy. Don’t worry she will come when she is ready.
Awww. Thinking of you and praying for you. I’m sure she’ll be here very soon. Can’t wait to meet your new precious daughter!
Oh I am so sympathetic! 4 out of my past 4 births have been past due! (7, 11, 17(yes really, 17 days!) and 5 days past due) I keep hoping this time will be different, but the reality it that he’ll probably take his sweet time too! It must be really comfy inside there since mine always seem to want to show up “fashionably late!” Praying everything happens smoothly and easily! (and soon of course!)
