Part of me wants a valentines baby only so it will be done with today! LOL
The other part of me wants her to stay in for 2 more days until my dr returns... or at least until tomorrow so she has her own very special day, rather than sharing a holiday.. but whatever works.. not liek i have a choice right?! LOL

I really wish that EVERYONE would stop calling and texting and emailing us to find out if we had the baby. It's getting ridiculous! Don't they know that we would tell them if he/she came????

I will never ever hound another pregnant friend again now that I know how annoying and frustrating it can be.

I'd rather his wait until tomorrow, Monday, Wednesday... he'll always be my Valentine, but I'd like him to have his own day.

If he were a girl, I might think it were kind of cool. She would have a heart-themed birthday party every year.

Well, yesterday was my adjusted due date-- I would be JUST fine with a Valentine's Day baby -- but at this point who knows when baby will come out.

:

MIL actually accused me (via DH) of not calling her when I had the baby. : I told him to tell her, every time she calls, that I'm out with the baby and will call her back. Maybe.

I'd rather not have a v-day baby, but at them same time, I'm DONE!! Today would be Great!! I have a meeting with DD's teacher on Tues morning, a meeting that I've been trying to get set up all year, so I'll probably be delivering on Monday night, right?

me: chugging along. nothing happening.
I think I am in the same boat as far as the stress goes. It makes sense.

I hear everyone about the stress. I'm worried that he just doesn't WANT to come out yet, because I am a wreck!!
My almost 3 y.o dd has been having SUCH a hard time. She wants to be snuggled up to me all day long, either that or she's throwing a fit about something, basically. All NIGHT long too, which is really killing me. I'm going to start a whole thread about it. I CAN'T let her snuggle up to me all night, but I feel SO bad about it! I didn't get ANy sleep last night and found myself yelling "You CAN"T lie on my arm anymore!!" at 2 a.m. I feel like the worst mom in the world. :

I just started answering the phone "Still pregnant!"
Why don't they stop asking!??

Also, I'm having pressure from family members who have taken time off. DH's time off starts this week, and he gets two weeks, baby or no baby. My mil has also basically worked her schedule around this week. I know the impatience/pressure/stress is working against me here, but what do I do?
:
eta: due date was yesterday.

My dd was born on Thanksgiving so I have joked that we could follow that trend with a Vday baby. No baby on DH birthday yesterday...but I think that is fine too...he was a bit crabby and tired out from his night out the night before so I am glad!

2 1/2 TBSP of castor oil is down. I'm so nervous, I'm shaking a little bit.

I would like a Valentine's baby, partly cause I'm already 18 days past when my last babe was born, and partly cause it just feels special. Plus my parents' birthdays are Feb 7 and 21, so putting a 14 in the middle sits nicely.

Lost first big chunk of mucus plus last night, and have been having deeper aches and cramps ever since. With my other two, the plug meant labor would start in 24ish hours, so we'll see. We're going for a walk to see if the cramps will organize.

I also started getting the phone calls about a week ago. And I'm still 11 days from my due date! My mom calls me everyday now just to see if anything is happening. As if I wouldn't call her, she is my mom!

My friends have started placing bets on what day this babe will be born. Only one thinks I will go over. I have a feeling she'll come right on time, I know what day we DTD to conceive this LO and my due date is exactly 40 weeks from that day.

My sisters both have a history of going over tho. My oldest sister was induced 6 days overdue with her second (her first was induced a day early because of GD). My other sister went 8 days overdue with her first, had her second on her due date, was induced with her third 9 days overdue. So, I won't be surprised if I go a little over. I'm putting my money on sometime within the week I'm due just because I know when conception happened. Although my midwife is coming back to town on the 17th, so the 18th would be good for me!

We shall see... We're going to see my husband's cousin perform with his band tonight. Maybe the vibrations from the loud music will do something for me!

Another night of contractions that kept me up and made me get on my hands and knees! More bloody show this morning but nothing is becoming regular. It hurts more to lay down but I am so tired that I don't know what to do! My husband and kids are all napping right now and it is ME that needs the sleep. I am soooo frustrated! My other kids were born after this much bloody show for heavens sake! Sorry- just had to vent again. Thanks for reading!

I'm thinking about you a lot birthworks, cause we truly are in the same boat with these stubborn 3rd babies choosing to be independent. Sounds like your labor may kickstart sooner than mine. I hope it is very very soon for you! Sounds like it really could blast off when it gets going.

My family walk seems to have increased pressure a ton, but not organized anything. And a long hot shower has just made me sleepy. Tried to check my cervix, and it has moved so far posterior again I can't find it. Not exactly the right direction... And no more signs of plug today so far. Poop!

It's these stubborn Aquarius babies, that's what the problem is.

Last night I told DH to TELL the baby it was time to come out now-- maybe she would listen to her Daddy. So almost immediately I started having really good, strong contractions! The kind you REALLY have to breathe through. We actually called them idwife to give her a heads up. then after an hour or so they faded again. Arrrghh! I told the baby she was very disobedient but she said she prefers to be considered a free spirit.

I feel depressed though, when I think about DH going back to work on Tuesday. He REALLY thinks the baby will be here before Tuesday so that he won't go back to work but I can't believe this baby will EVER come out.
