Today is my due date.

I'm not as emotional as I thought I might be. I'm so incredibly grateful that Griffin is healthy and that he was sent home at 37 weeks. It's still hard thinking about all of the things I missed about 3rd-tri (even the crappy uncomfortableness - I'd give anything to have been able to keep Griffin in longer). Most of my "3rd-tri" was spent at the NICU during the day and the Ronald McDonald House at night, 4 hours away from my husband and dog. I'm jealous of my best friend who's due in two weeks and still pregnant. I'm jealous that she got a shower and I didn't (and I feel so petty for even thinking that but I can't help it).

Sorry for the rant, but I know a lot of you probably understand...

I feel ya. I haven't reach my DD yet but I do feel kind of sorry for myself for missing alot of the 3rd tri. We just have to focus on the good and not that bad. That's what I keep telling myself. Our LOs are here and we got extra time with them is how I look at it. Keep on truckin. I'm not sure if it gets easier but so far for me it has. Slowly but surely.

Completely understand. I'm just now starting to go through the final weeks where last year my pregnancy went to hell and a handbasket, and it's definitely getting to me. The due date itself back in January was actually a positive for us -- since DD1 came home the day after her due date, and her sister followed about 5 days later. 

I'm definitely going to struggle with the next couple of months -- the week leading up to their birthday, their actual birthday, all of the holidays spent in the NICU...all of it. And, the re-emergence of anxiety over flu season.  

::hugs:: We're all there with you.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. It's nice to have this board to vent to, people just don't get it. My H doesn't totally understand either...
