Stupid things people say...

- is he crowning yet?
- does he feel like he's ready to come out?
- today is my Mom's birthday, it would be a good day for a baby *hint hint*
- well when is he coming?
- why isn't he here yet?
- cant you just get induced?
- ugh what's taking so long?

I think I may shut my cell phone off. These people are lucky they aren't saying these things in person or I may punch them in the face. I know THEY are horribly inconvenienced by the fact that I'm nearly 41 weeks pregnant. Especially because I'm sure they all feel as spectacular (insert sarcasm here) as I do at this point.

LMAO. This reminds me of J's old softball coach. He has to be the creepiest guy that I have ever met, who is in horrible need of a dental visit... I am not one to point out someones dental flaws but you seriously had to stand 5 feet away from him when he talked or want to throw up from smelling his breath. He seemed to think it was normal at the softball games to ask J some of those questions and how far dilated I was. *gross*

When Lila finally made her appearance at the field, he came up to her and she started SCREAMING. I loved it, so did everyone else. lol.

So what is your plan if you go to 42 weeks? Will you continue to wait, will they induce you or do they have another method that they can try?

[jennifer8080]

I had one ultrasound with an 8/4 date, so we can go to 42 weeks by that date. I assume we'll try natural things before that point. My next appointment in Monday. I'm already 3cm and having tons of contractions. So hopefully soon!

I'm sending you labor vibes!

[jen812]

Seriously? Crowning? I hope your LO arrives soon!

[mrschelseap09]

Well hopefully he makes his appearance soon! I can't wait to meet him

I would say, "Yep! How well do you catch?"

When I was I think one day overdue with Quinn I went into Publix and the cashier asked me when I was due. When I said "yesterday" she got this terrified look on her face and asked me what I was going to do if I went into labor at Publix. I was like, "go to the hospital probably?" I really didn't know what to say. I think she really thought I was going to go into labor and deliver right there by her cash register.

As someone who also went to 41 weeks, having horrid pressure, pain and contractions for the entire last miserable week, while still having to be a mommy to someone (but wanted to avoid being induced if at all possible), I feel for you.

I hope that your mom is able to be helping you out with Kennedy right now. And if she isn't, ask someone! I had nearly nonstop contractions and a feisty three year old who didn't understand why I wasn't able to do everything he wanted of me, but I was too stubborn to ask for help. Finally, I was at a breaking point, and we arranged to have a close friend take Beckett for the day, and naturally that was the day I went into labor. I wish I would've asked for a little help sooner.

I hope the wait isn't much longer for you!

[babybchbum]

I hope he comes sooner rather than later for you and that your mom is helping out with K.

[jennifer8080]

Thanks ladies. It's mentally and physically draining, and unfortunately I haven't had much help with Kennedy. I keep going to bed praying something will happen, and here I am - still pregnant! I'm getting really cranky with how inconvenienced and depressed everyone else is acting. How the hell do they think I feel?

And the Publix cashier asked me if I would be "seduced" if he doesn't come soon. I wanted to say none of your damn business, but I was too busy laughing.

You should have asked the cashier if he/she wanted to seduce you? :heart:

I had a severe pet peeve with people saying "you look like you are about to pop" every day. Literally like 8 people would say that to me every day. H thought it was hilarous how much I hated it so he would try to slide the word "pop"into a sentence or convo anytime he could. Also, since I was teaching up until a week before I delivered, my students were seriously terrified every time I sat down or had a large kick. They could actually see him moving in my belly sometimes and it horrifed them. Consequently, I didn't have any pregnant students this year -- coincidence? I think not. I was excellent birth control.
