My due date has come and passed. I have been in such a strange mood all day. I woke with the feeling as if it were my birthday- Happy Due Date to me!......but as the day went on, I turned into an anxious, antsy, bored mess. I feel like a time bomb. I know I am about to undergo something so huge in my life, I know its coming....and all I can do is wait.
I didn't want to get out and run errands, because my legs and back hurt, yet I felt cooped up in the house. I found myself wishing I would just hurry up and go into labor, because at least it would be something to do. I sunbathed in the backyard with the roommates, yes my belly is pink now :) I am so excited to have color on my pale white body- even if it is a rose pink that itches really bad. I will take what I can get at this point. I went to eat at Rojo last night with some friends, thinking wow- this could be the last time I go out to a restaurant that I don't have a baby with me or have to hire a babysitter. It all seems so surreal.
I go to the doctor tomorrow to have an ultrasound. She wants to see how big he is. I am assuming I will schedule a day to be induced this week. I googled "How far past your due date did you go" and some answers from moms were, 8 days, 10 days, 2 weeks!!! wow- That is a long time..... I'm hoping he will be big enough to where I will not have to wait much longer.
Please pray for me and this upcoming change. I am excited, but extremely nervous. I'm scared of being overwhelmed. I'm not going to lie and say I feel like I have it all together. God has blessed me with some amazing strength through all of this, but I am still constantly leaning on Him for guidance. I can't wait to see what my little one will look like. I am excited about bonding with him. Thank you to everyone that has shown me nothing but encouragement and support- It means more than you know....
Love yall-
