I'm not mad at her...just bugged...

I know she's in there, I can feel her. And, they gave me pictures of her oh so many weeks ago. Why she won't come out is something I can't understand. Does she know she's making me crazy? I don't want to be mad at my unborn baby, but I have to say, I'm a little irritated.

At this point, here lungs are developed and she's put on plenty of weight. So much weight that every time I go to the hospital or see the doctor someone says, "Oh, you've got a good size baby there." I've heard that at least five times over the last two weeks and it has got to stop--it's making me very nervous. She needs to stop getting bigger.

I don't recognize myself in the mirror anymore. I'm puffy/swollen and I look beat down. My doctor tells me I'll feel better immediately after giving birth. At this point, I'm not sure I believe anything she tells me.

Please excuse me, I have to get back to staring at the ceiling...

PS...I'm not mad at my baby.

Jenn, I'm sorry! I did this exactly this time last year today. (I was going MAD...I tried anything I could find on the internet for "self induction." I was almost too determined to get my baby out.) Good luck!!

Well, I'm getting pretty bugged at your baby if I do say so myself. What's her hold up?

Is the puffiness part of the preecampsia or just being pregnant?

It's true. You will feel so much better once she comes out. And right after. You will have aches and pains in other places but not the all encompassing discomfort you feel now. When is your official due date any way?

You don't know me, I am guilty of blog surfing from Heidi's blog. I know how you are feeling!!! The end is so hard just waiting around!! My son was born 3 weeks early, weighing in at 9lbs. My secret to getting hime out??? Let's just say I am guilty of some of the desperate prego women's tricks. FLEET. After two of them, he was ready to come out!

Jen,

Listen - I know you are suffering, but I am jealous of even the suffering. It will be over soon and you will be saying that it was worth it...Hang tough trooper.
