Stop popping off all over the place!!!!

I thought this was the July ddc- half the babies are already here it seems.
I'm going to be all lonely trying to wait til late July, your babies will be a month old by then!

I am really happy for all the mamas who've already given birth to their gorgeous new lo's. However, I am totally jealous! I want *my* baby to be here already, too! lol

I'm sure the prodromal garbage isn't helping me feel like waiting is a good thing, but I am sooooo ready for the babe to be here. Am I the only one who's feeling like their EDD is FOREVER and a day away?

My EDD is tomorrow, but I am pretty sure I have another week or two to go, so I really do understand your frustration.

I understand your frustration. I feel the same way. My EDD is 8 days away and I have a feeling he will be late

I feel the same way! Although, I am content waiting a couple more weeks for my babe. I just got done with work and could use some down time to get the house and me prepared. It's so much fun when people ask me when I'm due to say 'any time now' They (sometimes literally) jump back like I'm going to go at any second!

The benefit of all these early babies is that we get to hear lovely birth stories and read advice on the first few days. As a first time mom, I'm really looking for that kind of information.

Hang in there!

there's a lot of us left, don't worry, you're not going to be the only one waiting through July for your little one. Now that July is here though it's just that constant wait and see feeling that is sooooooo hard! I suggest fun, creative projects to keep the mind and hands distracted.

Mine won't be here until the 16th either. It's so weird tho, I keep thinking, wow, that's not too far from now. And then I feel like the next 15 days are going to take a year to get here. Hang in there mama!!

You impatient mamas are cracking me up! Calm down already, or I will send you my long-gestation vibes! I will be 41 weeks tomorrow; y'all are making me feel like a cranky old lady on a bus full of teenagers. Or maybe I will send out patience vibes once my baby finally arrives... if I have any left!

I just bought like $60 worth of crafting supplies at Jo ann's the other day lol. But I've been too busy battling this horrible flea infestation my IL's left us with when they moved out to actually get to any of it yet. It sucks so darn bad, and trying to do laundry and vacuum every day while contracting is really no fun.

I am trying to get all the 'have to' crap out of the way yesterday and today so I can enjoy just goofing off (or staying in bed!!!!) for the next few days. lol I could use some down time.

I feel kind of bad too because my kids haven't gotten to see any friends or do much of anything because I am so tired and cranky- I totally do NOT wanna go get in our un-airconditioned car and go anywhere when it's 90+ degrees out and 80%+ humidity here. I would love to see people, I just don't wanna go visit, and am too worried about fleas to invite folks over here.

Some one just slap me, pls? I know I am obsessing over silly junk, but I just feel like the more I try to get done around here the less I actually accomplish. Which I'm sure isn't helping alleviate the prodromal labor, or make the baby want to come any sooner.

Thank you all for chiming in that you're all still here and pregnantly awaiting birth too, I sometimes can't see the forest for the trees. Or mamas who've already given birth, as it were. lol

I'm due at the end of the month too (July 24th), but as unprepared as I've been feeling the past few days, I think I could hold out until August! I was starting to get a bit impatient with all the babies being born... but then dh reminded me of all that we still have to do!

I'm 38wks2d, but I feel like I'm about 45 weeks! My doctor was sure that this baby was going to be premature, so I've spent months trying to prevent PTL and keep baby inside.

You and me both! But at some point, my baby is going to have to say, "The heck with your projects; I'm coming out!"
