Oh man, I don't know how much more I can take! My poor dh is trying so hard to be supportive but I keep crying for no reason other than I want to be at home in my own bed and I can't get comfortable and go to sleep, and he's so tired. We went to visit his brother after a baby shower that was thrown for us, and he's not going to be able to take us home until after 6 pm tomorrow - and I want to be home NOW! And we are attempting to sleep on a paper-thin futon mattress that is just wide enough to accomodate the three of us shoulder-to-shoulder with no room to spare, and I NEED to stretch out or I get tense. And I try to practice my deep breathing, only to find that I'm trying too hard and tensing up even more!
I'm so ready to be done! With my last pg, I was induced, so I didn't have to wait for labor to kick in once and for all... this stopping and starting of random contractions that are slowly picking up a pattern is driving me absolutely insane!!! And we thought for sure this baby was going to be early, and now I'm feeling like I'm going to be pregnant forever. I don't even have all the baby stuff done, I'm just ready to have this baby in my arms and not have this sciatica or restless legs or any of that anymore.
I feel like poop b/c I haven't participated much in ddc or even mdc in a long time, but I really need to vent to someone who understands - and who better than a bunch of mommas just as pregnant as me?
If you actually read this, thanks for bearing with me.....

Hang in there, I know it can be very frustrating at the end. I went 18 days over my EDD. Made me nuts til I was able to let it go and enjoy the final days with my baby girl nestled inside me. Breathe and relax and smile and tell your baby s/he is loved.
Guess not! It sure doesn't help to have comments from perfect strangers, for example, I was at the library and the guy who works there said, "I think we have discussed this before, but aren't you due soon?" I said I was and he said, "Good, because you look ridiculously huge." I was so shocked I couldn't think of a comeback til I was out in the car. Then when I went into WalMart yesterday a women said, "I hope you aren't going into WalMart to have that baby." Anyway I think at this point of the pregnancy all you can do is try to think positively, even though thats tough at times! I keep telling myself all the bh's and contrax are really preparing my body, so its all worth it. My dh says the crying for no reason means baby will be here soon! Hang in there, it will all be over soon.
:
i'm not quite there myself, as i'm still in the whiny baby stage where all i want to do is complain and go into labor NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! but hopefully soon i will either have the baby, or just give up that its ever going to really happen.
