Overdue Check-In

I hadn't seen one in a day or two so... How's everyone holding up? Friends/relatives getting on your last nerve? Uncomfortable? Excited to meet your LO? Last minute stuff still left to do? What's on your mind?
I'm holding up physically. But these are some of the longest/slowest day of my life right now. DH said he wakes up disappointed each morning that it didn't happen during the night (at least the heading to the hospital part). My mom is driving me so nuts with calls and texts that I've started texting her my status every time I move, i.e. going for a walk, doing the dishes, taking a nap, having some lunch. I thought this would get on her nerves and she'd take the hint, but I think she prefers it to just waiting/wondering.
So I have another 3-4 hours of testing at the hospital tomorrow (BPP, NST, bloodwork) to make sure she's still happy & healthy in there. Then a doc's appointment on Monday, might even set an induction date then for 42 weeks. Guess we'll see what happens...

This is my first check-in with you January mamas, although I've been a bump member forever. I read this board, the VBAC board and the attachment parenting board all the time, but my home boards have now spun off the bump.
So I'm a day overdue and waiting for my VBAC (fingers crossed). Mentally and physically I'm ok with still being pregnant, but wondering if this VBAC is going to happen is killing me. I am also having a hard time with my toddler who is seriously in the middle of the terrible twos and wants to be held or coddled all the time. I am happy to give her attention, but she is being really difficult, teething bottom canines and is very indecisive over what she wants.
These days are also the slowest of my life. It is so hard playing this waiting game knowing if I don't go into labor on my own by Tuesday, I'm automatically having another c/section.
Good luck ladies! Hope your babies make their appearance soon!

Yep, still pregnant. My brother has taken to texting me every day asking if I'm still pregnant. I know he's just excited he's becoming an uncle, and I told him he can just check my facebook. I make sure to put up some kind of status every day so people don't freak (again) and think I'm not posting because I've gone into labor.
I'm just waiting around, trying to pep talk the baby into wanting to come out. I'm being induced on Tuesday, but I'm hoping things will get going before then. I admit I'm pretty apprehensive about being given pitocin, especially if I haven't dilated any.
My ticker doesn't show me as overdue, but my first EDD was last Tuesday, and my Second EDD is today. So I kind of feel overdue!
My body is exhausted. I am so sore from being kicked and stretched. She is still super active.
I'm trying to stay home as much as possible to avoid any more questions. We live and work in such a close knit community that everybody is always checking up on me and asking a million questions. I love them, but I'm tired.
Monday is the decision day for me. If baby isn't here, we set the induction date. MIL gets here this Saturday, so I'm hoping baby will come out on her own soon.
Hanging in there... I'm not really exhausted or anything. Just anxious to meet her and get this show on the road!
I'm alright....felt horrible last night, feel good today. Ready to be done with work (startign leave Monday unless LO comes before then) and induction scheduled for Wed. if she hasn't made her voluntary appearance by then. Also bummed about induction. Looking forward to the weekend either way.
I have to assume Lilnightmusic had her baby (I hope so for her sake by now) since these check ins had stopped for a bit...

This is what I was wondering. She's not usually this quiet, about anything. Hahaha
GOOD LUCK! Sorry about the pre-e, but YAY, BABY!
My MIL calls every couple of days, like we aren't going to call and tell them when I go into labor or something. Silly.
I had some pretty decent contractions this morning and thought for sure that today was the day but they've since let off and it's just mild cramping. Lame sauce.
I pretty much have everything done, except her closet doors and her bedroom door need to go in but those are things that can wait if they need to. The house is clean, I'm just trying to maintain things so I don't feel like stuff needs to be done for a few days after we get home.
