Ok warning...I may be overreacting because I both dd and I have head colds, which is making sleeping difficult and me a bit cranky...
BUT
Both dh and my mom are driving me crazy about when this baby "can come" and "can't come." I don't remember this with dd, mostly because everyone was so darn anxious for her to get here since she was the first babe/grandchild, etc...this time around seems different.
It kind of started out as a joke with dh...he just got the manager's position at work 2 weeks ago and said to the baby "hey I'd really like to get through one week as manager before you come so hang out in there for a little bit okay?" I thought it was kinda funny, but now every night it's either "hey I have X that I don't want to do tomorrow, so how about you make your entry into the world tonight" or the opposite "Daddy has X scheduled for 9am tomorrow, so don't come before then ok?" IT'S DRIVING ME BONKERS! This morning I said to dh "Just stop it! This poor babe is going to be so confused that s/he is never going to come!"
Incidentally my mom is kinda doing the same thing. Last week at my appointment the midwife asked dd when her little brother or sister was coming and she said "May 14th!" I don't know why, but my mom latched on to that and is insisting that's when baby is coming. She was talking about something that she has to do this weekend and I was like "you mean if baby doesn't come then" (she'll be caring for dd) and she was like "oh no, baby can't come then...it's May 14th!" Arrgh!
So yes, it is possible that I'm a crazy 39 week pregnant lady who is overreacting, but I would like to strangle someone. I totally believe that baby will come when baby is ready, but I also believe that momma in many ways has to be ready and I just can't get my brain/body ready when the people who are supposed to be my two biggest supports are telling me in essence that they're not ready. I feel like baby and I just need to retreat to a deserted island where no one is telling us when baby should come!
