misery loves company...

So my due date is Saturday Aug 16th. I'm a major planner, so my whole pregnancy I had planned to go out of work a week early to have some time to myself and figured I would enjoy it... Much to my dismay I'm miserable! Everyone keeps telling me to "have that baby already" like I have control over when it happens. And I'm soooo sick of hearing"Baby will come when baby is ready"- have you spent the last 40 weeks waiting to meet the love of your life, are you 30lbs heavier w/ a basketball shoved up your shirt and can't sleep more than an hour at a time- No- didn't think so!! I feel like everyone that I know who was due around me has already had their babies and I'm just the last one to cross the finish line. My doctor will induce me if I don't go into labor a week past my due date- but if I have to wait a whole nother week, in going to go insane! Anyone have tips on how to cope with this? DH is working all day and I'm home alone and miserable :-( **end rant**

    i'm about to be there.  today is my last day of work, and though I can't imagine continuing working on the floor (i'm a nurse) until my due date, i already am feeling super anxious about leaving so soon.  i really don't want to be pregnant at home for 3 weeks.

    luckily all my friends are nurses too, so they have variable schedules.  i am just planning a lot of tea dates, looked into daytime swim aerobics classes, and trying to plan things with the hubby to pass the time. i also asked him to download me tons of movies so i have options. it's hard when you are such a planner, because if you are like me, you have NOTHING left to do to prepare.  i sort of wish i had left something for myself to do this next week, because it's basically going to be down to repacking the hospital bag.  ugh.  

    i just keep trying to focus on how though im sure this time will drag, soon we will have our babies and this will all just be a memory. we are almost there!

    No tips. I'm already at 3 days over and baby has no inclination to come. They haven't even seriously considered inducing, though thankfully, my ob did say they would look at it for next week.

    I share the same due date as well and things were rocking today- consistent contractions started at 20 mins apart so i thought, hey its gonna be today but as of 1am... We only got to about 15 mins apart... So i am getting very impatient too.
    I see my doc tomorrow and he said the same thing about inducing before 41 weeks but 7 more days of waiting might kill me too, so im excited to see if all those contractions did anything today.

    The only relief i have found is netflix and mini drives around town (hubby drives- not me). I caught up on greys anatomy and i am currently half way through orange is the new black. It helps with having something to do during the wee morning hrs when insomnia roars its ugly head. Praying for all our LO's to be here sooner rather than later ...

    I think this is the most normal part of weeks 39+. We're all anxious and tired and feel varying degrees and sources of pressure.

    My FIL is visiting and essentially just waiting on me to go into labor. I feel like I'm underperforming or something.
