Are we there yet?!

[diana_of_the_dunes]

I hate waiting!! Even after a completely uneventful pregnancy, I'm just SO ready to be done... Baby dropped again last week (he had dropped once already but sort of bounced back up), and I have occasional Braxton-Hicks, but other than that, nothing much is happening. I guess I just never thought that maybe my baby would make it to his due date (9/26)...

Hurry up baby!!

I'm REALLY ready just to be done.

Someone tell this kid to GET THE HELL OUT!

You know, I was fine and now I really just want her to come already. I know she will come when she comes, but soon would be nice. I keep having to send my dd to that germy kindergarten and I have no idea how I will keep her healthy for when the baby arrives. I want her to be able to hold her sister!

We can do it, ladies!!! I really thought my little guy would come this week. His big brother was born @ 39+1 (38+4 by conception date), and I'm 2 days past that now. Not the tiniest hint of labor, cervix is long, closed, and posterior. Trying to be patient, trying to be patient...

(Yes, I know I need to stop checking for progress. I actually haven't checked at all today, and I'm going to try not to anymore!)

Ugh, I am so with you! I am due on 9.26 too diana and I am so, so, sooooo ready to be done. But I think this LO wants to see his due date.

I actually felt pretty good up till 38 weeks. . .ever since then both the mental and the physical aspects of this waiting game have become pretty unbearable.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm not even nervous about labor anymore because I want it to start so bad! I'm sure that will change once I actually start, but for now...

This is pretty much what I said to my OB at my last appt. I said "I remember now why I'm not afraid of labor...almost anything is better than the end of pregnancy!!"

And with both my previous labors, I wasn't nervous in the beginning, really not until transition did the nerves kick in (when I start thinking about pushing).

Count me in to the sick and tired of waiting group. I mean, I know my EDD is only on Monday, and I have no reason to expect my first baby to be anything but tardy- but these pushy "set-a-date-to-yank-her-out" doctors have triggered this anxiety and sense of urgency that I never had up until now.

I feel like, even if I want to be chill about it and wait for Mother Nature to take its course, as was my intention, I now no longer have time to do so! Everyday now, since my appointment on MOnday, I've been mentally begging the baby to "beat the clock." Ugh. Friggin sucks! So irritating!

[Radish4ever]

I am right there with you, girls!

[Dmitrizmom]

40+4 and ready to be done. tired and swollen and sore and cranky. went past w/ both the others... don't know why I thought this one would be punctual. (it's either lol or cry)

[PurpleMonkey]

my twin girls, who are 21 months tomorrow, I think are beginning to wonder if Mommy has an "imaginary friend" in her belly. That this whole time I've been talking about/discussing the new baby sister to come who is inside the belly is a total joke and will never actually come! I mean I've been building them up to get excited about it and now whenever I mention the baby they look at me like Yeah right Mommy she's not coming you lie! lol
