Overdue and OVER IT.

Well like almost every other person that's had a baby I too have gone over my due date!  I was prepared for this and I'm really not surprised but what I am surprised by is how impatient I've become.  I really thought I would be just mentally prepared for going about a week to 10 days over before going into labour.  Turns out I'm just not quite that easy going.   After 40 weeks of this I just don't have a lot more to give.  I know the baby is fully formed and only getting fatter by the day so at this point it just seems like a cruel joke for it to hang out in there much longer. PLUS I want to find out what it is!  I'm dying to know the sex and just to lay my eyes on it for the first time.

It's crazy at this point how things change day to day.  I guess it could be because my skin is literally splitting at the seams and my body is at it's personal breaking point.  I know I'm not THAT large but I think for me this is the biggest I can go.  Rolling over has become a chore and getting anymore that 1 consecutive hour of sleep hasn't happened for me in awhile.  Which I guess it just my body training for the massive lack of sleep that is my future.  I am really looking very forward to not getting up 5+ times a night to go pee.  Oh well it's not like I have to get up for work in the morning (which is SO awesome)!

I was reading on another blog recently about what it feels like to be overdue and what she was saying made perfect sense to me.  She said it's like your due date is Christmas but then on the morning of your told Christmas has been postponed indefinitely.  Not only are you not getting Christmas that day but you have NO clue when Christmas will actually arrive over the next 2 weeks.  So you wake up every morning thinking maybe TODAY is Christmas... but then it's not.  Everyone is also asking you WHEN Christmas will be like you're Santa or something.  That is really what it feels like and prepared or not it is not fun.

On the plus side I know within one week I will be holding my baby and this will all be worth it.  I've had it pretty good over the past 10 months and I really shouldn't be whining.  Well I think I will go re-clean my already spotless house and hope that today is the day... or tomorrow would be good too.  I hope you all are enjoying your mobility and restful nights of sleep!
