for those waitin on baby #1 or 2 etc

I want to share with you that the last few weeks are hell!  having been there 3 years ago and now there again-they are still hell.  the waiting gets to be anxiety building, the pains get worse, the excitement builds and the due date often comes and goes and keeps going!    i put waiting for #2 or more because i need to remind myself that this kid is comfy where it is.   for #1 you want it out now-but the best advice i have is come up with some good comments for those people who are well intentioned enough to ask where baby is and to have a few good cries-as again that due date comes and goes away.   

this weekend people were asking me if i thought baby would come early-i said "doubt it."  my ticker is even set for 3 days past my EDD so that I don't get so intense about it.    My first dr. appointment this pg she was like "so when do you figure you are due" and my response was "anywhere from Jan. 1-13!"  she said that was the right attitude to have.   my first child was 11 days late and those 11 days were the longest of my entire life!

just wanted to give a voice of experience to the wait and we all know it sucks big time but the most you can do is take some deep breaths and again cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   hang in there-baby will come.

I've been trying to prepare myself since coming over to 3rd Tri and seeing posts about how miserable the elders are.  I want to stick it out and avoid induction, so in my mind, I moved my due date back to 42 weeks (I never told anyone my actual due date, either, because of this).  I figure if I start preparing myself now, maybe it will help once I hit that 35-ish week mark!

Good luck!
