38 weeks tomorrow, and I can't help reflect back to the original 2 week wait. There are so many similarities. That cramp, implantation Or Braxton? Did my period start? or oh shit is that bloody show or my water? Might as well have sex because at this point it either stuck or it's gonna help this peanut arrive.
The anxiety of waiting takes on 2 totally different tones. Instead of waiting to Poas for results, we wait to head to L&D and wait for them to tell us if this is real or a false alarm. Are they BH or the full on real deal.
Well, my house is damn near spotless, so I'm hoping all the bending, scrubbing, and squatting makes this baby wanna come out

I hadn't thought of it like that, but you are so right! Those first two weeks and these last two sure feel like forever, and every time you sneeze you wonder if it's a "symptom" or a "sign" that something is happening.
I like this end of things better though It comes with an outside baby!
So true! In my head I'm counting down to 41 weeks, going to set my expectations low and maybe be surprised! But it is irritating not knowing When will it be?!? And somehow 5 more weeks sounds way longer than 4?
I am two weeks away tomorrow. With DS1 my water broke at 38w4d. I would be so happy if that happened again because that would mean that I would go into labor on Friday. Wishful thinking I'm sure. I am just trying to be busy and make plans and hope that I have to break them later on.
