It helps that DH has figured out that it's better to indulge my momentary whims than risk a full-scale meltdown. If sometimes I feel like he treats me like a toddler, it's worth it.
I think I want to take up needle point and make myself a big wall hanging that has this quote on it, KC!
I have been feeling the same way!! My DH calls this the "Mama Bear Syndrome". I'm so feisty lately. The smallest thing will make me want to fight. Especially when it comes to my DH or baby, I feel very protective.
I am totally there - my mom has flown out from crosscountry to be here when the baby is born and so far she has been here a week and no baby. We have had a lot of fun, but her flight home is scheduled for tomorrow and now I think I'm mentally stalling out my own labor! Then I try to not stall it out and it's just frustrating. I feel bad since I am the oldest and mom has a ton of responsibilties at home so just sitting out here is probably stressing her out and I'm feeling like a watched pot. The good is that in the last couple days it looks like my body *might* be preparing to go into labor (strong BH with a different feeling, cleaning out of the system) - but I haven't tipped over the edge into full blown labor yet. I'm about ready to go crawl into a cave somewhere and just wait until the baby comes.
