Well, saying it's an update is a joke because there really isn't anything new to report. I'm still sitting here, still pregnant, still uncomfortable, still miserable, still waiting for my little prince to grace us with his presence, still getting painful contractions that have no rhyme or reason to them, still working, still praying that I will go into labor any day now, still getting calls from friends and family every day saying, "Is he here yet?!?"
Basically, I'm still losing my mind.
Everyone told me that the last month would suck, but my pregnancy has been such a breeze that I laughed it off. Seriously, words cannot describe how uncomfortable and miserable I am. Nobody could have warned me, because I wasn't up for listening. Now I get it.
My next doctor's appointment is Friday, the day before my due date. I am going to beg and plead for them to induce me and put me out of this misery. If I was afraid of the whole "giving birth" stuff at any point before, I can tell you that my fear has been replaced with sheer determination and desperation. I don't want to be pregnant anymore...I'm ready to be a mom!

I wish i were there to give you a hug...and take you to the Coach outlet to give you a brief distraction from everything baby! : ) Just reading your post made me think of last August, when I was in your same place. I was so depressed when the magical day that I had guessed she would come, came and went.
Just keep in mind, those contrax. are all for a reason. Every single one is good and they are working to make the intense labor part a little easier on you.
Also, about inducing...hopefully you won't need that. It's a major stress on the baby (more so than going into labor yourself)...and even though millions of babies have been born that way, it's slighly better (and you have far less risk of further interventions...episiotomy, csection, etc.) if you can just haaaaaang on till the big day. It certainly seems like your body is doing exactly what it needs to...with the effacing, contrax. etc.
Not that i listen to my own advice or anything! my dr. offered to induce at 38-39 weeks, and i was actually debating it...when she finally decided to get the show moving on her own!
Will you hate me if i give some of that stupid advice everyone was telling me? I was ready to smack someone if I heard, "Take these last few days for you. Sleep, go shopping, do whatever YOU want, blah, blah, blah." one more time. Although, it really is true. : ) So easy for me to say now.
Love you!
I have no advice, but I love you.
I might win the bet!
I love you all so much! And can I say how wonderful Christine has been with the advice and insight?!? Cory and Kasey...when you have children someday, you are going to be so glad she's around (not that you aren't already, but even more so, I promise)!
xoxo
I was just thinking about that yesterday! I plan on being pregnant early next year and I know Christine will be a lifesaver. (Cory, plan on that too so Christine can deal with both of us at the same time).
