This is what *they* call full term...but I'd be happy as a clam if this little one continued to bake for at least 3.5 more weeks!!! Not that I don't feel old and in some pain quite often, but that I really want to savor all the time I can get with my little family of 3, and I'd prefer not to have our little one's birthday share a date with our anniversary. Saying that sounds awfully selfish. I can just picture in the years to come, having to choose whether to celebrate our child's birthday or do something as a couple for our anniversary. Either choice would leave us feeling like we're missing out...I would think. I don't know...I'm not superstitious but it seems like saying this will make it happen! We'll see though; babies come when they're ready...not before and not after. So I'm just going to chill [haha] and try not to do anything crazy to bring on labor before my body and sweet baby want to! So that's all the rambling and fretting I'll do since I have absolutely NO plans to predict or decide when this baby gets to enter the world.
Well, I see you made it to today with baby still not ready to be born. After reading your post from yesterday I hafta admit I was a bit surprised. The urgency you showed sounded like what I felt the day I went into labor with Robbie. I really wondered if you'd still be pregnant after that. I'm not gonna chide you about all the heavy lifting but I want to. :-) Glad you didn't get the stairway blinds down yourself. Take care, girl. Can't wait to meet the little one.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm glad! I have been this way for a week and no letting up, so I'm hoping that I don't cause anything too soon...my philosophy is this: If I'm completely ready, the baby will wait to come out because it knows I'm waiting--if I let everything go to the last minute, it'll come early, like Arden did (and I wasn't totally ready!). So I'm hoping that being completely DONE with everything I want to do will keep the baby in longer. How's that for a silly piece of wishing?
