"Yes I'm still pregnant, Yes I'm still here, Yes I'm uncomfortable, Yes I'm ready for baby". I need a sign or a button or a t-shirt that says that. Maybe that would head off EVERY SINGLE PERSON I run into throughout my day who has to ask the same questions. I know people mean well and they are just being nice but COME ON! Some questions have obvious answers. Just say good morning and move on.
So you may be able to tell that work kind of sucks right now. I'm just over it. I'm over people and their dumb-assness. I guess like a diminished immune system can lead to illness, my diminished tolerance of dumb asses has led to a major attitude problem. Because, you know, at work I have to keep my comments to myself. And that usually leads to major eye rolls when I'm in private and an overall irritability with everyone I come in contact with.
Joe wants me to stop working after Friday. I really, really would like to continue working as long as I can. Well, it's not that I would LIKE to continue working but I would like to continue making an income and save my time for after baby's arrival. I just can't imagine having to walk back into that office next week. I don't know that I can handle it. So the perfect scenario would be to go into labor now so I don't have to go back.
I've been trying to get things going by trying just about every old wives tale there is. I've been walking on the treadmill, bouncing/rocking on the exercise ball, eating spicy food, doing lunges... so far nothing. I was one centimeter dilated at my appointment last Wednesday and am hoping there is a little more progress this Wednesday. Last week the baby's head was still high and I feel like it still is. Even though I'm having more aches and pains in my hips and pelvis than I am in my ribs, I'm not feeling a ton of pressure down there yet.
So, that's where we stand right now. I fully intend to wait for baby E to tell me when he's ready but I'm not sure if I'll be waiting at work or at home on the couch!

I opt for home on the couch----it will do you good to rest up a bit---maybe your dr can tell you that is is time and then you can file your short term disabilty. I am sure that your employers would rather have you at home at this point rather than deal with a woman who goes into labor at work or your water breaking----not saying that it will happen but it could and you are out on govt property and we can't get to you...enjoy some r & r before Evan gets here.....xoxoxoxo Mom
Sex, sex, & more sex with the air cranked to 65 degrees of course! HaHa! Not much longer now!

PS. does that lil chick ticker do something fun at 40 weeks? Been watchin that bastard like a chicken hawk.
Kristen- not sure about the chick on the ticker! I have another ticker on my phone that compares the baby's size to fruit. It's been stuck at a watermelon for the last two weeks. I've determined that there is no fruit bigger than a watermelon and the next step up would have to be into the poultry category. LOL
P.S. Tried sex, so far no luck.
I tried everything under the sun to try and get my kids out and nothing worked. He will come when he is ready! Just take the time off and float in your pool.
