Trying hard to be patient... and failing!

Sorry, momentary vent - I was due this past tuesday. My mom arrived the wednesday before so as not to miss the big event. Every single day for the past week, i've had DH and mom asking me if i'm ok, how am i feeling, do i feel any contractions, is it time yet, etc, etc, etc.... ARGH! I'm already not super excited at being overdue but had mentally prepped myself that all FTM go a week late. So much for mental 'zen' - that's been shattered to a million pieces with the constant questions and i am now becoming impatient for our little girl to arrive so that i can stop getting the constant questions every five minutes about my current state of health/mind. I know it comes for a place of love from both DH and my mother but would you please just LAY OFF! 

Two membrane sweeps later, by the way, and LO remains as snug as a bug in a rug.

Thanks for listening - i want a healthy babe and for now, am just trying to hang on to a healthy mind ;-)

    Oh I feel your pain. I was SO impatient at the end! I told my family to stop asking for updates and that I would tell them when something was happening. Good luck!

    Sorry! It is annoying but it is out of love!

    Can you go get a pedicure or go to the movies and just enjoy the quiet? (This is coming from the mom of a two year old....)

    I second that pedicure.   The relaxation might send cues to your body to get things moving along.  If it makes you feel better at 32 weeks I was already 2cm dialated and progressed to 5cm/80% by 38 weeks.  Everyone thought I was going to pop any second and working w/ a bunch of sissy cops telling me they were gonna take me to Greater SE in DC to deliver had my water broken at work only made me want to punch them in the face!  Good Luck and hang in there.  Pedicure.  Pedicure.  Pedicure!

    You know what, you ladies are right. If she's still an inside baby tomorrow, i think i might go and get that pedicure. My feet are hideous due to constant flip-flop wearing and i'm feeling rather 'robust' in my current state - lovely toes might be the way to go. 

    Thanks for the advice! Taking a deep breath and on a search again for the 'zen' within me ;-)
