frustration
i know i should be thankful that my baby is taking time and is just developing extra. i know there are nicu mommas who wish they had babies who had stayed in this long. but right now i am 38w2d and i am exhausted. i am in pain. i am tired of people asking when he's gonna come or telling me that my 2cm (that I've been holding for two weeks now...) don't mean labor is soon. my body is so sore. i was in l&d; twice since saturday. one time because of a migraine that came off my neck injury i cant get treated right now (car accident in june). the second time because he wasnt moving and i was scared (he was just being lazy, but he's my rainbow). i have been having contractions erratically for weeks. i was hoping I'd even be at 3cm but nothing. a girl with the same due date as me (who i know because her younger siblings went to the church i do child care for) is being induced sunday. I'm sure there's a good reason and i should be thankful I'm not facing any problems but damn. HG, car accident, threatened miscarriage, uterine spasms, daily blood thinner injections... i am tired. i am ready to hold my son and breathe a sigh of relief as I hear him cry.
