STILL waiting...
It's funny - pretty much my whole pregnancy I 'had a feeling' she was going to come really early. Now I 'have a feeling' I'm going to have to be induced. I do NOT feel like the end is near :( I've gone through all possible emotions, mostly back and forth from acceptance to self-pity...really I just want to get this show on the road!!
Yesterday we had a really busy and fun day - went to Quail Hollow for a hike with AJ, mom, dad, and Sammi - had a really nice time - perfect weather, it's been not too hot and humid lately. Had a nice relaxing day and ended the day at the McKinley football game which was fun, I haven't been to a game in years and it was nice to be distracted and out of the house too.
I've heard all the 'tricks' to induce labor. I'm fairly certain they are just distractions and unrealistic to actually work, but just in case I'm going to wash my kitchen floor when I'm done posting this...seriously desperate :)
It's not that I'm so uncomfortable or anything - mostly I'm just ready to move on. I'm not sleeping well, but I know having the baby sure isn't going to change that!!
I don't want to go to work for obvious reasons tomorrow, but I just wish I could wear a sign that says 'yes i'm still pregnant, let's move on'. Being pregnant entitles everyone you know and don't know to want to be your friend and talk to you about personal issues. Everyone has an opinion about if you look like you've dropped or not and how much fetal activity you're having and what stage the moon is in...yeah don't ask. I'd just rather get by until she's here, I don't want to talk about it to death!!! That being said, I don't mind talking about it to family and friends, just be encouraging :) Don't tell me how many weeks you were overdue, I don't want to relate to you, I want you to feel sorry for me hahaha :)
Regardless of it all, I know it will end soon and can't wait to share my birth story...I hear she can't stay in there forever. I'm ecstatic to meet her and really excited for my sisters to come in for a few days too...can't be much longer!!!
