Overdue Mamas

[robbins611]

How is everyone? How far overdue are you? I saw several of us had false starts last night. I was so disappointed when that happened night before last. We are in mercury retrograde until Tuesday....maybe that's why things are moving backwards for so many of us. I was due the 25th and am so ready to see my baby girl.

Much Love and Hugs,
Gini

Yep, I'm still here, and I had yet another false start last night

My wonderful husband let me sleep in this morning since I was up so much last night, but I woke up sore, tired, and grumpy

Here's an exchange I just had with my 4 year old:

Mommy: "Ian, I've only been up 30 minutes and you're already making me grumpy!"

Ian: "Mommy, you've been grumpy every day there's a baby in your belly."

SIGH.

Nice, huh?

Seeing the news of Turtlemamameg's healthy baby this morning is helping some

Yesterday was my EDD so I'm not all that overdue, but I feel so ready. . .had a really rough day emotionally last Thursday. Then felt better on Friday after seeing my MW, decided to just let this LO have his October bday if that's what he wanted. Friday night DH and I went on a date and that night I had a few hours of contraxs, I even started timing them and they were 5min apart and 35 seconds long. . .but they went away about 6am. So yesterday was another hard day b/c I had gotten hopeful again and b/c I had gotten no sleep that night!

But I slept well last night, so I think I can hang in there. Ugh. Its just hard. My parents called yesterday to say that "everyone" was asking about me and if the baby was here yet. And its been hot here which is not helping my misery. And I get so jealous when I see all the postings here about babies being born.

Trying to enjoy my weekend and time alone with DH. . .but the anticipation and waiting is killing me!!! And the false starts are playing such mind games with me!

My "due" date was on the 25th too (or the 28th-- I have never been sure if I should go my LMP or that first 8 week U/S). Anyway. I feel so done.

I am trying not to view myself as "overdue" until I'm over 41 weeks... just too depressing.

Was due on the 23rd, so I'm not really that overdue either, but I'm so ready! I just realized I might have an October baby instead of a September baby. For some reason I really had it in my head that it would be a September baby. I guess I still have three days...

Still here! 6 days overdue today based on ovulation, 14 days overdue by two ultrasound estimates (9 and 18 weeks).

We went to the outlets to shop and walk today after DTD. The grandparents took the other three kids for the day - woohooo! I had lots of contractions while out, and these were the first ones so far this pregnancy that caused me to slow down my walking and think because they were definitely uncomfortable, but they were mostly when I was moving only. I am definitely not predicting any action at this point! But she's for sure dropping lower and lower... I do get the sense that labor will be starting 'soon' - but it could easily still be a few days away. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an October baby!

Hugs to everyone waiting! We are so close!

I'm still here too. We were 'due' on the 24th, so I'm not too far past. At this point, I'm actually kind of hoping this little girl will wait until one of the first couple of days in October. After all this time for planning and preparing, I just don't feel ready yet. How odd is that?!?!?!?

I'm still here and trying really hard to be patient. My "guess date" (I must remind myself that it is only a guess) was the 23rd. I'm such a planner that it's hard for me to just sit and wait for the unknown time that my baby will be born. I've actually found myself understanding why women agree to non-medically necessary inductions...if I had an OB who was telling me that I could hold my baby tomorrow, it might be hard to to agree to whatever they wanted to do! Luckily, my MW is not like that at all...I'm glad I chose her at a less impatient time of my pregnancy! :P
