I'm overdue. Waaay overdue. I'm probably the first person that recognizes this, and yet people feel compelled to tell me "wow, you're really overdue!"
Shut up.
Seriously - I've arrived at a really good place around this baby's anticipation build-up. It's not helpful to tell me you think it'll happen anytime now (I know... that's the nature of being more than 40 weeks pregnant...) or that you know how I feel (especially if you're a dude... wtf?). I'm taking it unbelievably easy, not entirely by choice as late pregnancy has some interesting side effects (not to do with the baby or blood pressure, don't worry), and my husband is being supportive above and beyond what's reasonable even from an overdue wife.
So we're good. Adding to the "letting go" is the fact that, come hell or high water, I will be having this baby in a week. I'm booked in for an induction on the 28th, and have already had what seems like an effective sweep.
I appreciate your good thoughts, but stop with the asking or "feeling" like today is going to be the day. You're jinxing it, and getting me out of my relaxed and easy place that I've worked so hard to get to and stay at. My baby is unique, special and wonderful, and it'll be ready when it wants to be.
