40 weeks 3 days - Baby #2

I'm officially PASSED MY DUE DATE! Although I don't think your considered post term until you pass 42 weeks it sure feels like I should have had this baby already. Knowing my exact conception date I figured I would be a little closer to my due date than using the LMP method which is know to be 2 weeks off if a women has longer cycles. 

I not only look huge and exhausted I feel HUGE and EXHAUSTED! Getting asked constantly if I've had the baby yet, the answer is no, and you will know when I have him because I will call you or text you if I have. A better question to ask would be "how are you feeling?" Each day passed my due date feels like a year. Especially when almost every day or night I feel like "this will be the night he comes!" only to wake up in the morning with no contractions. And when I keep having "signs" of labor but nothing ever progresses passed a braxton hicks contraction, it gets frustrating! Especially when I'm already 4 CM dilated and 60% effaced. 

I hate to complain but since this is my blog I figured this is where I can let out some of my frustrations. 

I keep reminding my self that he's obviously still in there for a reason and unless I get to 42 weeks I won't be getting induced. As anxious as I am and having labor signs and getting frustrated by each passing day, I know he obviously still needs some cooking and I don't want to take him out until he's done. I want a plump and healthy baby boy! Especially after spending a week in the NICU with Kaiden. Kaiden was born at 40 weeks and 4 days, I guess we'll see if he's even more stubborn than his big brother, but I hope not! Tomorrow would be a great day! It's Friday, and thats less time people have to take off work. Also my midwife is on call until Friday and I'm really hoping I get her as my doctor to deliver Remington. 

I just went grocery shopping and stocked up on food today so that way we don't have to worry about that when Remington comes. All thats left to do is some laundry. I was so glad when I got out of walmart with out anyone asking me how many I'm having or commenting on my big belly. 

Yesterday me and my mom went to the fair to look around and to try and "walk" this baby out. You can only imagine how frustrated I was when I woke up t he next morning still pregnant after walking for 3-4 hours the day before. Not to mention the three people that asked me at the fair, "how many are in there?" and "are you having twins?" 

I've had my time to rest but now I just want our baby here!
