Hello there. Still here. Still very, very pregnant.
I haven't been posting because I don't know what to say. I am quite uncomfortable and starting to get anxious and nervous about labor and delivery (well, not so much the delivery part as I'll be comfortably numb from the waist down by that point). Despite all our positive tests and examinations I remain on pins and needles about my baby and will feel that way until he finally arrives.
Time is dragging and flying by at the same time, if that is possible. It's making me crazy. Every twinge I feel sends me into a tizzy of "oh dear, what's that, is that pain? A contraction? What's happening? Is it time?" even though I know it is not yet time. Still, my bag is mostly packed and ready to go, just in case. Grandma and Papa are on alert to come get Daughter. The house is mostly clean and I'm focused on keeping up with the laundry as much as possible. I'm filling the freezer with simple-to-prepare foods and baked goods. There are juice boxes galore in the fridge so Daughter can serve herself in those first hazy days after baby arrives.
I'm ready. And yet I'm petrified. What's up with that?

Kate, what are feeling is absolutely normal. I have five years between all three of my girls and I remember feeling the exact same way. Relax and enjoy these last few days....Alisa in Ct
I think my next time around, I'll have the good sense to be petrified of the recovery more so than the actual delivery.
Hang in there!
