Longest two weeks EVER

I'm about two weeks from my due date and I can tell it will be a VERY long two weeks. Don't get me wrong, I want my little guy to stay in as long as he needs to and I am well aware I can go past my due date but I just feel like I'm sitting around waiting for something to happen. Over analyzing every little twitch or cramp. Thank goodness I will have work to distract me. I don't know how people who stop work early do it. I would go crazy.

I was told to make plans to do something each week for the last few weeks to keep yourself distracted. The plans I made aren't really gonna work at this point because I've become so immobile I spend most of my time in bed watching TV/movies... So yeah... these last 2 weeks are gonna draaaag I can tell!
I completely agree. I am scheduled for a c-section 3/5 but when I went into the doctor on Thursday I found out I am 4 cm dilated and the baby is at +2 station so he could come anytime. However, I am weird so I have a feeling I will still have to wait 2 more weeks. But I have to watch everything very closely because if I do go into labor it could be quick since I am dilated and he is so low. I have had 2 c-sections so I am not suppose to have the baby naturally because of the risk thus leading to bed rest which is already driving me nuts. There is so much to do before the baby gets here plus to get our house ready for all the visitors (always a disaster with 2 young boys).
But we just have to remember it may seem like forever now but it really will be here before we know it.
I feel ya. I'm definitely over analyzing every twinge or pain too. And everyone keeps asking me if I think he's going to come early or when he's going to be here...like I would know! My mom is coming to visit this week so it feels like its Baby Watch 2012...I'm trying to just chill and let him do his thing, but the wait is hard. It doesn't help that everyone is telling me their own L&D story, including the horror stories, so I'm somewhere between super excited, nervous as hell and ready to get it over with, LOL.
Every "sign" that labor is around the corner I've had for weeks now. What's even more disappointing is that most of us will go over 40 weeks so saying it'll be two long weeks... imagine once you pass your due date!! It could be another 4 weeks =/ Since everything is finished, I don't know what to do with my time. Stay active so baby has a better chance in coming? Or relax so when LO arrives I'll feel rested. blahhhh
Yeah I'm really feeling it today. It's been such a craptastic weekend and still going. Hopefully tomorrow, I'll go back to feeling like 2 weeks isn't that bad but as of right now all I can think is, "Get him out of me!" Not to mention he is beating me up!!! Boo... here's hoping for tomorrow!
