I was so convinced that this baby would come "early." I thought I would finally have some relief from the nausea that I have been experiencing since February -- that's right, February. And all the other uncomfortable symptoms and frustrations. I'm 38.5 weeks now, and I just thought he'd be here by now, or really soon. I know, it was wishful thinking on my part. And then I convinced myself that this weekend would be it, especially with the full, harvest moon and low barometric pressure. 
I thought it would all be perfect timing to what hasn't been the most perfect of pregnancies . . . anyway, now I'm sick with a cold. My throat really hurts and I can feel myself getting congested. DD's nose had been running on and off for the last couple of days but it never turned into anything else so I thought it was just the cooler weather (and the fact that the child wants to be naked all the time). Now it seems we have another cold in the house. What lovely timing, no?
Will a cold put my body into labor? Or will it wait until the cold is gone? Or maybe it won't make a difference at all. Maybe I won't even notice the cold during labor (if I do go into labor in the next couple of days). Last time I checked it was pretty important to be able to breathe while giving birth! Arrgghhhhh! This is really the last thing I needed right now. And of course I don't want any cold germs around when our new baby arrives either. Oh, I know I sound like such a big complainer. I am just so uncomfortable, so nauseous, so grumpy, so tired of waiting -- and now it feels like a small car has parked itself in my throat! Really, I'm not sure how much more I can take.

I hope you feel better soon!
