You people are starting to annoy me...

[pinksprklybarefoot]

coming here, bragging about your water breaking, your bloody show, your back labor.

When are you going to share the love?


Man, I am done being pregnant!

[honeybunny65]

sorry mama

[Grayson's Mom]

Seriously... but then again these days looking in the mirror annoys me... cause it just reminds me that I am still pregnant.
SOMEBODY GET THIS KID OUT OF ME!!!

[NaturalMindedMomma]

I am almost 38 weeks and seriously I feel this way. LOL

I woke up this morning to pee and realized I am still pregnant and just sighed.

AMEN to that!!!

I was just lying in bed this morning trying to will my water to break!

[FloMomma]

hehehe...last night I was in bed, felt a couple of contractions and thought, "please be it, please be it..." BUT nope, nothing else. Oh, I am so jealous of all you already July Mommas...I know my time will come, but I am really huge and just want to hold my baby already!!

[LuNaLu]

I keep having wonderful dreams of bloody show and intense pressure waves and fluid gushing out of me... normally not pleasant things, but at this stage, BRING IT ON! It's such a bummer to wake up to NOTHING every morning.

[gossamerwindweb]

I am SO with you! I woke up really depressed today. I am just so tired of being in pain and being huge pregnant. SO, SO sick of it. I want this baby out already. I had 10 years of infertility, you would think I could wait a few more weeks patiently but I am so sick of it part of me wants to go to the stupid hospital and have them just cut me open to have it OVER WITH.

P.S. No I would never do that but to have fantasized about it means I am really really low and depressed

[georgiegirl1974]

I feel the same way. It is depressing. My guess date is Saturday, and I went into labor with DD on my guess date, so I assumed this one would be here by now. But no, he's comfy in my uterus. I'm sick of the calls from family and friends. And DH is an idiot and keeps asking me why I'm being such a bitch. :

I have an OB appointment tomorrow, and I hope I don't cry in front of him. But I'm sure he's seen it before.

I hear ya! I have a friend that texts me every single morning for the last two weeks saying "Today's the day, I can feel it" or "No baby yet?" or something to that effect. She's driving me insane. I usually just ignore it, but this morning I wrote back "No, I'll let you know when it's here." It felt bitchy to me, but it's really irritating. My dad called me on my due date to ask if I was in labor. Seriously, leave me alone! I just want to sit on my couch in the a/c and watch tv all day. Even if it is really lame kids programming. (My dd loves Caillou, Kipper, Thomas the Train, etc. BORING!!!) I normally try to limit tv to just a little while in the morning, but the last 2 days it's been on all. day. long.

I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and done. I'm not hurting or anything really, just tired of being limited by being pregnant. Tired of wanting to do something, but my belly is in the way or I get tired to quick. Tired of being grumpy and moody (which is half "normal" for me because of being bipolar, but this is different). Tired of getting cranky with DD2 for wanting to be up against me because she bumps my belly which hurts. Tired of waiting to finally meet this baby.

I just want to move on to the next step.

[lindsayjean]

gah- every time I call ANYONE they think it's "the call"... I'm due on Sunday. Sooo ready for it!! Trying to be patient.... it's hard to be at this stage!

[mags]

I'm in a really foul mood today. I thought for sure the baby would have come by now, b/c two days ago I was having all of the perfect, "signs" of going into labor. Now, I've past the hopeful stage and am feeling like, "real" labor is never going to happen. I'm already starting to think that this baby is going to be a high maint kid, b/c already he is giving me a hard time...

[gossamerwindweb]

Today I forwarded the home phone to the cell phone... unplugged the home phone (so I won't hear the short ring that happens before it forwards) and put a message on my cell that says something like,

"We have turned off all of the phones. I don't feel like answering multiple calls all the time asking if I am still pregnant or if I am feeling anything. As of this point I AM still pregnant. I am fine. The baby could come as late as mid-august. Feel assured that when he is born, I will let you know. If there is an emergency, leave a message and I'll check it sometime."

Is that too rude? I don't really care.

Thank you for sharing this great idea with us! I am going to do that now.

I have been very patient this pregnancy. I have been trying to muster up all the good, positive vibes that I can and just take one day at a time. I would like to just sit back, relax and wait for the baby to come. But I am done. I have never felt so physically miserable, emotionally drained and angry! I am being mean to everyone and I know it and don't even care anymore.

My midwife was just here and said, more than once, "you just never know, this could be an August baby" and I almost hauled off and smacked her one. August my ass. There's a lot of July left and I am not even going to entertain the idea of having to wait until August. :

[plantmama]

I can't believe how much I can relate! I have almost no labor signs (though this is how it was with my last one too), am sooo cranky and just on the verge of tears but I'm not crying about anything!
I feel so huge and vulnerable. Dh is just so not in tune it's awful. I went on a tirade about unfair it was that he didn't have to go through ANYTHING to get kids and he said "stop complaining!" and then claimed to be joking when I started crying: He sooo does not get it.
The thing is I don't either. I mean I KNOW I'm being ridiculous and hormonal but it's is a perfectly legitimate way to be right now!!! Just let me be and try to love me through it, you know?
I was due last Saturday and have been expecting this baby since basically the beginning of July so I think I'm a little out of touch with my body as well.
And yes, the kids are watching way too much tv and it's finally gotten beautiful and sunny out here.

[majorsky]

Yep, the kid TV is definitely increasing in frequency around here. I just can't keep up with my three-year-old DD right now. I'm so tired all the time and she constantly wants to play. She's also going through the "WHY?" stage (as well as ending her naps) and that's driving me crazy. I'm actually hanging on to my patience level most of the time, but it frays occasionally. I *want* to leave the house and run errands, but I'm wiped out and I can see my DD going stir-crazy cooped up in the house. The house is getting messy again and I'm too tired to keep it straightened up. I have occasionally felt like crying over the last few days but haven't broken down just yet... It doesn't help that I keep wishing wishing WISHING we had family that could take my DD for just a couple of hours so I can get a break... or that my completely selfish ex-playgroup gave enough of a crap to check on me or take my daughter for a couple of hours... (that's why I left the group, they're too freaking selfish to offer another mom a hand).

Yes, DH has told me to "shut up" more times this week than in our entire relationship... I cry everytime... NOT at all like me, but then I cry at everything these days.
I have never had a pregnancy like this boy I am carrying. He is so different than the girls. And I have never wanted it to be over so badly!! And of course this is longest I have ever carried.

[pinksprklybarefoot]

It's gotten so bad with people asking if I am still pregnant that DH is getting annoyed. "If one more coworker asks me how you are feeling..."

[BoringTales]

According to my midwives my due date is today. According to me its Monday. I'm just ready. Ready ready ready. I think my 5 year old's goal in life today is to make me as crazy as possible.
