I'm still waddling around.
My face does not accurately express the emotions I feel about this fact.
Apparently I am going to be pregnant FOREVER*.
I suppose this is my first lesson in being a parent: I am not in control. Baby is.
It's a miserable lesson to learn this way.
What did I get myself into?
*Not actually true, since I'm getting induced on Thursday if she doesn't show up before then.
you have to take lots of pictures! I can't wait to see.
ReplyDeletedidn't someone predict the "worst possible scenario" as birth occuring on the 15th? haha. or you could be like mom and me--where I came just before mom was supposed to be induced. tuesday or wednesday? I want to hear about babys arrival when it occurs!
ReplyDeleteNow that you know that baby is in control, the rest of your life just got a lot easier. Baby doesn't want to eat veggies? Okay, she's in control anyway. Baby wants to go out on a date when she's 15? Okay, she's in control. Oh wait...you will soon get to be in crazy control over this kid's life! You will get to tell the kid what to do all the time, and punish her when she refuses to do what you say! It's like being a dictator of your own mini-empire!
ReplyDeleteI mean, um, not really. I'm sure parenthood is a beautiful thing.
After being pregnant with Aubrey for 9 months, 4 days overdue, in labor for 16 hours, and pushing for 3 of those 16, when the doctor said one more push and you'll have a baby I remember thinking, " You lie. I am NEVER going to have this baby." I was actually a little surprised when she was born. I had really begun to doubt the whole process. Keep in mind I was starving (no food) and had been up all night in labor. For the record though, it did take two more pushes and not just one. So I was sorta right. Can't wait for your baby to come!
