So, in our Birth and Babies class tonight I realized that I have been whining way too much over the past few days. Sure, I thought I'd have a baby by now, I'm as big as a whale, I love our little girl and just want to hold her in my arms, I'm puffy, swollen, nauseous, I waddle, can't sleep, and my fingers and numb and in pain most of the time....but....
My body is making a HUMAN...and is almost done. What a HUGE BLESSING. Seriously...what do I have to complain about????? There is a MIRACLE happening right before my eyes and I have been whining about it. No more...I'm done complaining and feeling sorry for myself.
However, tomorrow morning I am going to take advantage of the 10 floors of stairs we have in our building...that might get things going! :)

Great attitude, but I certainly understand the whining and you are allowed some of that. Hope the stairs work.
You know how everyone says, "Take advantage of the sleeping now because it only gets worse..." They're lying! Sleeping gets way better after birth despite waking up every couple of hours. Your feet feel normal again and you start to feel like yourself. Giving birth makes you realize how great it is to not be pregnant.
Olivia just wants to stay in so she can be part of the Primary Presentation...she doesn't want to miss the party!
I went 9 days over with Ayo. Don't worry the baby will come out. There has never been a baby that has just stayed in the womb forever!
