So I am now over due... I did expect to go over my due date as rarely women actually deliver on their due dates. But here are a few things I did not expect about pregnancy.
1. To be able to shave my legs. I was actually quite worried about this. I do not want to be going into the maternity ward with amazon legs. I know nurses up there. I would never be able to look them in the face again. I honestly thought it would be impossible and I would be getting Davide to do it as I was breathing through contractions. But now with all this time on my hands, I keep them nice and clean, just in case!
2. To have energy. Some may call it nesting, who knows. I just seem to have a lot of it. I may not have all the mobility but I am definitely not exhausted. Which is good, keeps me busy and not so annoyed that I am still pregnant.
3. Not be able nap. This goes with #2. I have always been such a good napper. Now I can be up half the night, still get up early, go all day without a nap and not be tired after The National. I forsure thought I would be sleeping all the time. Maybe this is nature's gift of getting me ready.
4. Be envious of all the other moms that have had their babies. It's completely stupid but I feel like I am in competition with everyone else. Which at this point I have lost hard. For some unknown reason I am like this is not fair. Which is stupid because I am not in pain or discomfort. I feel completely normal and fine. The rational me says I am being ridiculous the irrational says I hate those bitches!
5. To be a crazy that tries everything to induce labour naturally. Yes I have tried everything. All the herbal remedies, walking, yoga ball, sex, spicy food, pineapple, acupuncture, chiropractor... I am sure if there is something I am missing I have tried it. I am not quite sure why but it's like a crazy little obsession. Go online and read all the ways to induce labour, try them only to be disappointed and hate all the mothers that suggested it.
But if there is one thing that I do expect, it's to regret wanting labour to start as soon as it does!

Your number 4 sounds a lot like my irrational bitterness to all the fertile mertyls out there. Doesn't matter how rational you try to be, the crazy part always talks louder.
Also if you could have a little talk with your son and advice him that his aunt would prefer this weekend to next, it would be much appreciated....don't want to be an absent aunt...
Be strong! It sucks I know you don't want to hear it, but just be patient your in for a much harder few weeks after that... trust me on this one!
