I didn't want to leave too long a time between postings. You might get excited. The answer is no. I have not delivered this child. She doesn't seem to want to come out. I'm at the ambivalent period where I'm suddenly not sure I
want her out! I'm feeling like I'm going to be pregnant forever, and the idea of going through labor and delivery is enough to make me cry right now. I am not ready for that, and I haven't quite gotten past the thought of simply no longer being pregnant. That has been my end-goal for 8+ months now, and I haven't thought much past that. I have ignored the whole delivery part, and ignored the whole bringing-home-a-baby part. These are suddenly looming realities and I am scared spitless!
On the plus side, I no longer have to worry about what to do with the kids when I finally do go into labor. Every day I had to mentally review who was on my on-call list. Who was available in the morning? Who could be here in the afternoon? Who was able to drop everything and rush over at 2am? Now, its not a problem. My parents arrived this afternoon, and that's one huge stress off my shoulders. Now, its all good. Well, except for that whole delivery issue....

Everything is going to be okay! I'm glad your parents are there now, what huge relief how long are they staying?
I know what you mean. It is pretty easy to take care of them while they are still in utero! hang in there, she is coming anyway and you will enjoy it so much.
It's Wednesday. You'd better post something soon or we are going to think your having a baby!!! Better yet, may the next post be another fabulous White baby...
I so hear you! I wish you a fast and easy labor. Maybe this one will just fall out while you are taking a nap. 5th one's the charm right? Thankfully labor and delivery don't go on forever.
