OVERDUE

If you thought I was a little miffed last week, one can only imagine how tickled I am this week. I'm still very pregnant with a stubborn child that has decided the world is NOT a place for him. Though what a rude awakening when his mother decides to take things into her own hands... literally... and grabs him out of there! Too much, too long. And what ever happened to them telling me he'd be large anyway, did someone forget about it? Or maybe they're having an experiment to see how much I can take. That's probably it... How much can the pregnant woman handle? This much, (fingers almost touching, squinting to see light between them), and that's it!

At the end here... of my rope that is.

Ready

Ready to cry hysterically at the drop of a hat.

No progression.

Doctor decided NOT to induce.

I know it's "for the best"... I just don't like it.

Getting nervous

So, the child I was hoping would definitely be EARLY, is not. (I'm really not surprised.) So, I'm still very much pregnant with occasional bouts of contractions that go for a few hours and stop like they were never happening. The ole Doc told me last Wednesday that if I haven't gone by this Wednesday we'd schedule to induce Thursday night. Most likely giving birth Friday.

The one thing that never occurred to me prior to now is the whole logistics of having a three year old while giving birth. Can't leave him home alone. Do not want R to abandon me to strickly watch the boy. Kinda want him close so he can be part of it, but not part of ALL of it. If we have R's mother watching the business Friday, (answering phones, opening at 8 and closing at 6), how is she going to pick up Tide from Daycare at 6? If I give birth before then, R can pick him up and bring him to see us in the Hospital. If I haven't I don't want him leaving...

How much is too much? How much time do we have Tide in the hospital around us? Do we just let him visit and then have him and R leave me and the new one alone in the hospital? Do we let Tide stay with R's Mom all weekend then all go home together?

We still haven't decided on a name. With Tide we didn't know until we named him, but we both really liked Tide. This time, we are seriously undecided.

At least my vehicle is scrubbed inside and out. The house is almost the same. SO come on baby!
