OMG, my thoughts exactly. I am about to turn the phone off till the baby comes.

Tomorrow is my due date and my BIL called and asked DH when are we going to the hospital... I think he thought all babies magically pop out on their due date.... DH was like "uhhh.... when she is in labor we'll go!"

magentamomma-I hear you.... I feel like the kid's never coming out.... even though I KNOW the babies in our family tend to be slow cookers, for some reason I thought in the back of my mind i'd be early!!!

I'm still here, 40w1day now. Yesterday I had 4 or 5 REAL contractions over the space of an hour and a half...but they stopped. We were driving to my parents house for my grandfather's birthday party. Figured we'd be dropping off the kids and turning around to no avail.

um.....tomorrow is 2 weeks past my 2nd due date. Original due date was Nov. 28th until we re-worked the numbers according to my 36 day cycles, putting my new due date to December 5th. UGH!! Going for a non-stress test tomorrow morning at the hospital and then accupuncture later in the afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed that the accupuncture will be the magic ticket and I can peacfully birth this baby at home tomorrow evening or the next day........am I asking too much?

I will cross my fingers for you jamsmama! I have heard great things about acupuncture for getting labor moving. I know there are worse things in the world than a baby who loves being inside mama so much he/she just... Doesn't... Want... To... Come... Out.... But I hope you're able to get things going! You must be pretty uncomfy by now. I'm only a few days overdue and feeling much less comfortable than I was even a week ago!

I'm so tired of being asked if I'm going to be induced. My due date is still a week away, people! I know I'm big as a house, but be nice!!!

I have to share that I feel so blessed, though, that people have given us gifts for the baby. Being as it's our third, I didn't expect it. We have a bunch of little new cute outfits to go with the boxes of great hand-me-downs. A friend helped my daughters make a scrapbook for the baby -- just add pictures and stats and it will be gorgeous. And just yesterday the staff of the school where DH works gave us a Visa gift card and gave ME a spa gift certificate! It's so nice. I feel loved.

Now to convince the baby that arriving a few days before her due date (and before Christmas) would be a great idea...
