keep hoping and waiting

as my due date gets closer and closer (its on sunday) i get more and more iritable and depressed cause she isn't here yet. i'm trying not to let it get to me but i can't help it, it does. Then to top it off i get the mil calling and friends calling asking or telling me that everytime there phone rings they think its me with baby news. ugh. why can't she just get here now i don't want to go past 40 weeks since my h is taking his vacation that week so if she isn't here next week he will sit on his ass and do nothing. I have a doctors appoitment in two days and i'm afraid he will tell me there isn't any change. i was 60% effaced and 1cm dialted. i've had crampy feelings all week but nothing gets stronger. anyone else feeling this way?

I am in the same boat! My due date is Friday, and I'm pretty sure I've had at least 7-8 people text or call me today, asking either if I've had the baby yet, how I'm feeling, or SOMETHING baby/labor related. I keep telling every single one of them that I will TELL them when something happens. :P 

I'm glad they care, but it's kind of irritating. Baby will come soon enough though!! There is an ending to pregnancy, and we've been waiting 9 months- in the grand scheme of things, a few more days is nothing.

I was all anxious and getting let down about him not being here, then decided to flip my way of thinking. He's in there, baking, and will be here in no time. There's really nothing I can do to get him out any sooner than my body will let him out. So I'm just enjoying these last days, relaxing with hubby, enjoying laziness, and getting things done around the house. Once he's here, there's no putting him back in. :P

I'm here with you! I've actually stopped answering most of my texts. I feel bad - I know they are asking out of love but I want to be like, "If you are thinking about it, imagine how I'm feeling!" My sister actually had the audacity to tell me that she's "impatient" yesterday - I mean really? I'm just a crabby pants these days. 

On top of it all, my family and my in-laws have scheduled their flights so now I feel like I am on a strict timeline to get her out since everyone is staying with me and rotating shifts lol. I don't think people remember how stressful and frustrating these last weeks are. I should document myself so I remember not to do this to my friends too. 

Hang in there ladies, we'll be laughing about these rants in just a couple days...how crazy is it to think about that?

Yeah I was due yesterday. My parents flew in on Saturday and they leave this Saturday. That doesn't leave a whole lot of time for things to happen. Every time I wince or sigh, my step-mom asks if it's time. My dad keeps asking every few hours. I know they care, but seriously I'll tell you when things are happening, trust me! I feel bad because I'm so stressed and frustrated and I feel like they wasted their trip. My original due date was june 13th, so they scheduled their flights hoping they'd make it. Anyway I had my membranes swept on monday, got my hopes up monday night when I lost my mp and had bs, but I'm still sitting here. I even cried yesterday for like 45 minutes because I felt so defeated, and I never cry! Guess I'll go for my morning 3 mile walk even though it's obviously not doing anything except killing my pelvis.

I'm right there with you!  I was at 1 cm and finally moved to barely 2 at my appointment yesterday.  To top it off my Dr. said that he's barely started dropping.  Even though I'm trying to keep myself busy and keep telling myself he's just not ready and he'll come when he is, it's hard.  My poor dad has been trying to set up his time off and he called me yesterday to find out how long they'd let me go after my due dad if LO didn't come LOL. 

Ultimately, we can't worry about schedules of others b/c we don't have control over it. We can do this!  It's a small price to pay for what we're about to get.
