Holy hell.
I'm walking around in this body, not MY body mind you, but this body that belongs to HER, shocked and dazed that I'm still pregnant.
STILL PREGNANT.
This is a record for me. And of course the longest pregnancy has to be accompanied by the most
miserable/painful pregnancy of my life.
SHE has taken over. And she is more stubborn than me, which is quite a feat.
I've been dilated to a three since at least 36 weeks. No way I'll go past 38 weeks is what they say. But 38 weeks has come and gone and I'm dilated to a five, fully effaced and fully confused.
How can I still be pregnant?
Thank goodness the misery has a promised end this Thursday. This Thursday at 5:00, in the afternoon, I'm still trying to be okay with the time frame here, but I'm honestly not. Today would be a better day. I thought July 2nd sounded like a fabulous birthday for the girl. I have to admit I was nervous she'd come on the 7th, which is claimed by me, and I'm not great at sharing MY day. And then 7-11-11 sounded super awesome to call HER day, but she refused to come. Then I set my heart on the 16th, a shared day with Aidan who was baptized. She was a no-show. I've tried everything, well Tom has helped in trying everything. Still she hangs out, snug inside me. But the time has come and she has definitely worn out her welcome.
Pray I go tonight. Tom prays for my patience and comfort, I think prayers are better for her imminent arrival.

That cracked me up. I am excited to see HER! If you change your mind I will take HER, I know she would love me. Oh and hang in there, at least the end is in site.
Geez! You poor thing! WOW! Dilated to a 5 and still no babe huh? Stubborn little thing. Well I am praying hard for her little arrival! Crossing my fingers it is tonight or better yet toDAY! Good luck! Hey and when things slow down we really need to get together! Give me you # so I can call you :) Or here is mine 520-461-3965 If you need anything call me!
I'm sorry and so happy not to be pregnant:) seriously read the posts right before J is born. Eat lots and lots of chocolate, that always helps me.
Um and isn't it strange that I'd say that after how we had to fight to get Cora here?! That last part of being pregnant is so brutal... but she'll be worth it.
