I'm NOT going early

So LO is measuring 40 weeks already. DD was also big (a large 10.5 pounds), so I am not surprised, and she was born on my due date. LO is also lying fairly low. That doesn't mean I'm going early though.

Everyone keeps saying, "Oh, there's no way you'll go 40 weeks." It's starting to piss me off. I have work scheduled up until a week before my due date which I need to get done, and I'm also planning on doing most of my nesting (baby laundry, cleaning, etc.) the weekend before. I do not want this baby early. Stop telling me I'm screwed.

Vent over.

    Today was my last day at work and I'm due Friday, I would have worked through Friday but I have a dr appt tomorrow and a family wake Friday.  This is baby #3 for me, DS1 was 15 days late, DS2 was 10 days late and this last baby doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get here. 

    You know your body and although things can change quickly, remember people say funny things around pregnant women.  A co-worker called me "optomistic" a month ago when I told him I had 4 weeks left, I told him good-bye today and he smiled and said good luck.  My boss has been asking me to take leave for the past two weeks so I don't go into labor at work.  Now only if DH and my kids would realize how pregnant I am and feel right now and quit acting like I have the same energy to wait on them hand & foot.  lol  GL!

    I am a FTM, however, everyone at work keeps telling me I am going early. I also keep telling them it isn't happening. I have things planned out to the day of my due date and to be honest I feel like I will go late so I even am hoping to make a work meeting the day after I am due. Of course, I will be happy for the baby to come whenever he/she would like, but I just have that feeling it won't be here until 2 or 3 days after I am due. But I totally understand getting cross eyed when people are sure that I am headed to the hospital at any minute.

    Same here! I am actually hoping I go over because I could use some more time. She is sizing big and everyone thinks I will go early, but what do they know? If I go early I am in trouble for daycare, I only have 8 weeks maternity leave and that needs to cover until they have an opening in my daycare!! I am Due on Dec 31, and I am hoping for January 4th lol.
