I guess I'm the only one

who wants baby to stay put until their due date! I have just under 3 weeks to go, my maternity leave starts Thursday, and I have baby-related chores to get done before I'll feel ready to have her here! Although the past month I have gotten increasingly uncomfortable and swollen, I really don't feel that miserable and I can totally tough it out for 20 more days if she'll wait!

Re: I guess I'm the only one
Im not full term yet and I don't want her coming until I am. I also still have lots to do before she gets here. Although at times I get uncomfortable like sitting for long periods of time hurts my ribs and back, Otherwise I feel pretty good. I have a feeling she isn't near ready to make her grand entrance though so I think we're safe for awhile yet
Oh, no, I totally want this baby to stay put! Always more to get done around the house, and both my sis and my MIL are OOT. I really need this baby to stay where she is for 2 more weeks, at least, and would prefer to get as close to my due date as possible.
Seriously, I'm one of those people that will probably end up having the baby 2 weeks late...

Good to hear I'm not alone! I just keep reading all these posts about being eager and excited to meet their little one and it makes me feel like a bad mom already! Of course I want to meet her, but I'm really just not ready for it to happen right this second! I kind of took for granted that she would be here at the beginning of July, and procrastinated on several things accordingly. LOL. Now all these posts about July moms giving birth already are making me realize that she could really come any day now, and that seriously freaks me out! Luckily, we've already done the essential baby chores. Carseat installed, check. Place to sleep, check. Newborn clothes washed, check. Diapers, wipes, and other essentials purchased, check. But nothing in her nursery is organized, I'm not done decorating it, and I still need to find a dresser and a glider for her nursery as well.
I still have a while but since we are moving at 38 weeks, I am hoping to at least make it until then ( DS2 was born before then and I am already dialated & starting to be effaced). The house that we are currently in is for rent & for sale and I really don't want to deal with people scheduling showings while I have a newborn. (We currently rent and although our lease says that we are to be given 48 hrs. notice for any showing, the realtor has been a real B* about us not agreeing to showings on 3 hr (if that) notice because we are moving and I don't want to deal with that either) Ideally, I hope to make it to my due date because I know that we won't be completely unpacked and settled until at least then and I'd love to not come home home to a house full of boxes.

Baby BOY is due May 23, 2014!
If I was done working at 37 weeks, I'd feel the same way. Whenever I'm off, I'm so happy to just be here with my little guy and let the little girl cook away. Its when I have to go to work and run around on the floor that I start to feel like "please, please baby come on already" LOL!
I must say that DH and I went out to dinner with friends and didn't make it to bed until one and woke up at 7 and we were good for nothing the next day. We were both cracking up since 6 hours of sleep will be a thing of the past in 4 weeks or less. LOL!
I'm in the exact same boat! My one and only baby shower is also on June 30th at 36.5 weeks along. I've been waiting to buy certain things until after the shower, but now I'm starting to get worried that I won't have everything if she should happen to come early. Ugh. Everyone keeps telling me not to buy anything until after the shower, but I think I'll just stock up on the absolute essentials - just to be safe!
You are definitely NOT the only one! I'm almost at 38wks, and in my ideal world baby won't arrive until we hit at least 41. We have a July 3rd due date, and I want baby to be born as far away from the 4th as possible. But not before, because there are still too many things left to do!
Plus, like some PP said, I still feel pretty good! The weather has been super cool where I am, so no swelling. I only feel horrible at night when I'm trying to sleep. I'm tired of sleeping on my side!

I'm uncomfortable and borderline miserable (I swear it's the 2 year old that's causing half of it), but so not ready for the sleepless nights and impending arrival of a screaming newborn right now. I'll happily take the 5 weeks I have to go, thank you.
I'm not ready either, and although I'm uncomfortable, I don't have any medical reason to need her out sooner rather than later. We still have some last minute things to do, with the house and to get ready for the baby, plus I have totally slacked off on my hypnobirthing prep, so now I am totally cramming on that.
I definitely don't want her coming the week of the 4th. That is the worst week of the year for my dog, who is terrified of fireworks, and I don't want him to associate that negativity with her. I don't want to go late, and I do not want to be induced, but I reallly don't want to go that early either.
One thing though is, I wish I could quit work earlier. It's just hard for me to work physically, and to focus mentally and physically. Obviously, since I'm on the bump right now. I start working from home at 38 weeks though, so at least that'll buy me two extra hours a day because I won't have to commute.
