Due date came, and due date went, all without baby deciding to join the world. I can't help but wonder if I brought this on myself - I mean my last post
was all about how much I love being pregnant! Jer is much more positive - he says that I just did a really good job at making baby a nice home in my belly, so she just doesn't want to come out yet.
Either way, it doesn't change the fact that I want my little girl to be here now.
At my last appointment, the doctor said that I wasn't progressing at all, so I kinda knew that baby wouldn't come this weekend. I have another appointment on Wednesday, and then, if baby still doesn't come, they will probably induce me on March 1st. That would make her 9 days late, which just so happens to be the amount of time I was late. Like mother, like daughter.
Hopefully she will come on her own this week. Just in case I did curse myself, though, here is a list of things that I am tired of from being pregnant:
1- Not being able to sleep - ever. My nightly bathroom runs have changed from every 3 hours, to every 2 hours, to now every 1 1/2 hours - seriously. I look at the clock every time, so I know. Add on crazy-psycho dreams, hip pain, shoulder pain, and lots of other pains, and it all stacks up to no sleep for me.
2- New stretch marks showing up every stinking day.
3- Eating everything in my house and still being hungry.
4- Having to put my feet up on a chair during relief society because my legs get swollen during church.
5-My crazy hormone swings and how impatient I feel.
6- Going crazy with anticipation!
7- Every single person I talk to asking if my baby has come yet or if there is any change. I promise, I will tell you if there is a change. It doesn't help me at all to be reminded every second that nothing is changing.
With all of that being said, I really am okay with waiting until she is ready to come out (but not past 42 weeks- it gets dangerous then!). She is healthy and I am healthy and that is all that matters to me. If I need to wait a little longer for her to be ready to come (which will reduce my chance at having to have a c-section) then I am definitely more than happy to wait. I just want a healthy and happy baby and will do anything I need to to see to that.
It's just hard because we already love her so much. As Jer said this week, he misses her. He hasn't even met her yet, but he misses her and wants her to come so he can spend some quality time with her. We love you, baby, and hope that you are making those final preparations so that we can see you soon!
