valancystirlingSo now I can say that I have carried a baby to term, all by myself.
Today was my estimated due date. It is also Jake's mom's birthday. It's beautiful and warm outside. A good day to have a baby perhaps?
This is actually really annoying. For this whole time I've assumed I would have the baby at least a week late, probably two. I got that firmly stuck in my head to postpone this kind of IS TODAY THE DAY syndrome. Instead, we've been on the edge of our seats for the past three weeks since they consider 37 weeks full-term apparently. What happened to make me forget?
There is definitely a part of me that is not in any hurry to become unpregnant. I've loved being pregnant. Especially now when it's so obvious I'm not just really fat. I have the most comfortable clothes I've ever had, I get actual POSITIVE attention from people everywhere I go, and I feel GOOD. What's not to love? I get a huge kick out of feeling the baby squirming around, and poking at her to get a response, and seeing my huge tummy. It's all just so cool to me.
So really, I'm not in any big hurry here, it's just hard not to feel that Day Before Christmas feeling every day now.
Anyway, I have this stack of tiny diapers that she's going to outgrow if she stays in much longer. In my mind that would be a huge tragedy.
I think it's time for Dunkin Donuts coffee.
