Patience! ugg

Karley0212

Okay, maybe it is because I am due today (officially) but I am sick and tired! I am sick of people telling me I am in labour. I am sick of spending every day waiting for signs of labour. I am sick of people at 37 weeks saying they are done and ready for baby to come. I have no patience!

On top of this my Man leaves to return to school 3 hours away today. If only I wass in labour so he didn't have to drive there and back. It could be today. It could be next week! How are you ladies dealing with passing the time? Any suggestions to gain some patience and acceptance? I just want to see my little guy. I just want to get him out of my rib cage and into my arms!

this is exactly why I am still at work! beyond that, I'm ignoring people telling me I should have a baby already and trying to get my projects done that I've procrastinated on.... It is really hard though. Especially b/c DH keeps telling me he wants her here etc. like I have any friggin' control!

I am also still at work and every second that I dont yell at someone who tells me, "just have that baby already" is a big accomplishment for me!

I would love to sleep until she gets here to avoid stupid comments, OWT, texts, phone calls ect. I am not getting any work done because I am exhausted and suddenly dont care anymore.

when you find that patience, please share where I can find some too!

Same situation.  Most people didn't expect me to be at work today.  I now think that I will easily be at work for the rest of the week.

My DH constantly thinks my water is going to break. Any time I have contractions, which is every day now, and he knows about them, he will ask something like "do I need to put a plastic bag under you?" or "is there a wet spot on the bed?" Dear DH, having contractions does not mean my water is about to break. Stop freaking out. Losing patience here too, just want my LO here.

Mine kept asking if my water broke everytime I called him.  He has since calmed down about it after me having him read that most of the time, the water breaks at hospital and I think my sister calmed him down too.

Patience? What is this word you speak of? LOL

I honestly  have no clue how I've remained so calm and patient lately. I kept myself busy at work and that helped pass the time, but my last day was Friday. DH worked yesterday and today and I get so BORED! I forced myself to get a shower, dry and straighten my hair, put on make up, and go out and "shop" yesterday, and I think I'll do the same today!
