Well 2 days past due!

It really is no big deal to me that my little one has decided to stick around for a few more days. Though I do find it interesting that my other two little people made it our before or on their due dates. I find myself really excited about the upcoming experience.  I keep thinking of how everything will go and how smooth the birth will be.  My son keeps asking me if she's coming yet.  I tell him really I don't know honey we just have to wait till she is ready. I keep reinforcing that I am ready for her to be here, but then I am not quite sure. I am such a multi-tasker I find myself constantly thinking of all the things that I haven't done yet.  So i have spent the last few days recouping and doing house work. I really wonder if I will ever learn to just sit down and STOP doing stuff!  I am not quite sure that will ever happen, but who knows maybe tomorrow I will do just that.
  Do you ever wish you had robots that would clean for you? You know just so you can do all the other things that are not everyday chores.  Sometimes I do, or that I would have it in the budget to hire a maid service every now and then. But that's not going to happen.  To be honest I am such a control freak that I don't even think I would hire them. Just because I would be to paranoid that they were doing things all wrong.  Oh well you take what you get and run with it, right?  That's got to be my attitude about myself. I love myself yet find myself irritating as hell sometimes. So far so good that I have learned to live with me.
Well I can tell you this, I had some more contractions today. They came and went all afternoon, but then disappeared this evening. Hopefully they are doing something done there. I kinda wish I would get regular reports from my uterus just cluing me in on what's happening. I don't have an apt to see my midwife or my OB till Thursday. To be honest if the baby isn't born by then I think I will skip the OB apt.  When I was there last he said, "Well if you are still pregnant on the 16th we'll bring you in and see what we can do about that". After that statement I was thinking MAYBE not.  I trust my body and that it knows what to do and what it's doing now.  She's moving around good each day and I am not having any signs of distress at this point. So waiting it out is all good to me. Plus I really don't think it's going to be long now. My midwife thinks it is going to be on Wednesday (the full moon) or Thursday. But really who knows these things. Well night everyone and thanks for checking in with me!

  1. Wonderful blog, and the very best of luck on your home birth journey! I met you briefly last year through your cousin, Sam. It is evident now, as it was then, that you are a strong, brave momma, and your children are all lucky to have such a great example of womanhood and a great role model in their lives. You'll be in my thoughts and I can't wait to hear how the home birth went!
