I was really, really hoping I wouldn't go late again. Damn.

If ever I wished I had a magic 8-ball... :LOL

You and me both! My due date was last week. But after 7 pregnancies, you kind of know what to expect.....in my case - they'll be late!

Today's my due date, and I too was hoping not to go over again... If you get that magic 8 ball to work, ask on my behalf too!!!!

Labor dust to all of us marking time!

How are you doing today, Ali, Chava, and Pyra? I'm losing my mind just being at the same point I was when my first child was born. I think I'll be vaguely suicidal if I make it to my due date. What are you doing to take care of yourselves in these last few days?

It's so strange because I've been sleeping horribly for MONTHS. I can't remember the last time I got a solid stretch of sleep. Then last night I slept for EIGHT HOURS STRAIGHT. I had dream sequences. It was brilliant.

Wha???? I'm not complaining, but it's very unusual. Yay!

In other news, my parents, or my mom, is driving me a bit batty. They live in TX, I live in WA. They booked "open" tickets to fly out on the 12th (tomorrow). I guess they can change the date for $50 or some fee like that. Anyhow, she's starting to breath down my neck about 'signs' that I might be going into labor. This morning I woke up to find an e-mail from her that said, "Decision day! How are you feeling?" Um, I feel great. So I told her to investigate moving the date out because there's just no telling when this baby will come and it very well may not happen for a few days yet.

I'm excited for them to come. When my son was born, she was a huge, huge help. Cooking, staying up with me at night so my husband could get some rest, and so on. And I know she's so excited for her granddaughter's arrival. But I'm getting so tired of the breathing down my neck, you know?

The same exact thing happened to me last night! I've not gotten 3 hours uninterrupted since 2001! But, I woke up disoriented and lost, 7 hours after I lay down for bed.

My due date is tomorrow. I've always been either laboring or have had the wee one on my due date. I'm really okay going a bit longer, though. We shall see!

I'm three days over now. I got a bit excited yesterday morning when I woke up feeling like I was on the first day of a terrible period - with the crampiness, bloating, headache, etc. But, by the end of the day I felt fine and I still feel like I'm about 36 weeks pregnant.

My mom keeps insisting that we'll be at the hospital tonight, baby born tomorrow morning. I keep smiling and saying that I sure hope she's right, but at some point, I just feel like this freaking kid is going to graduate from high school from my womb.

I'm still here, just frustrated at the inconsistent and sometimes intense contractions. To be honest, I was nowhere near this prodromal phase with my first one until after 41 weeks. So, I've been hoping this means I'm going to go into labor a little earlier, this time. If I don't, I think I'm going to go batty. I feel like there is this intense interest and frightening scrutiny on me and my life, from a friend and dh's family... I don't like it. I'd like to end that. I think I believe it will ease up after the baby is here, so that's making the wait harder this time around.

I trust in my body and my baby, but I've never been the most patient person... I try, though...
