Very frustrating...

OK so now I'm 9 days - nearly 10 days (come tomorrow) overdue to have this baby and I'm OVER IT! I want the baby out NOW... tired of waiting, tired of telling people "No the baby isn't here yet..." and no matter how nice people are, I still feel a bit like a failure because there is always advice following on what I SHOULD be doing. Goodness me - don't you think if it can be DONE I am DOING it!??!

OK - enough of a whinge. I guess it's been a long and fruitless day without much progress and I'm just a bit frustrated and impatient.

Baby is moving HEAPS right now - he's squirming around and pushing up in my ribs. I hope he's pushing OFF my ribs and planting his head firmly in my pelvix like a good boy *sigh* I've had tenseness like mild period pain ALL NIGHT for hours on end - surely something is happening?

Tomorrow is Oscar's day - and as my good friends now, I am an Oscars FREAK. I usually have an Oscars Party with red carpet, champagne, feather boas, competitions.... obviously not having that this year, but I still thought I'd be watching the show with a baby in my arms. I suppose it could still happen but... then again wouldn't it JUST BE RIGHT for bubba to show up DURING the show so I have to miss my most anticipated night of the year! Gawd!

Anyhow - I am just going to try and stay focussed - have another midwife appointment in the morning and I will report my progress after that. I still have fingers crossed that tomorrow or Tuesday is the day.... and a few of my friends have guessed that will be the case - so I guess I will just have to be patient and wait it out. Not easy when you want to meet your son!

So ... send me lots of good energy and positive labour vibes - I need it!
