Well, my mom decided to go back to Snowflake on Friday, which was very bitter-sweet for me...part of me is relieved that I'm not having to feel guilty for keeping her away from the other kids and Dad any more, but then the other part of me misses having her here.
At the same time, it's nice to get back into a routine. Although I'm disappointed that the baby still hasn't come, and I still get excited every time I have more than 6 contractions in an hour (which has actually been quite a regular occurance this past week), I'm definitely realizing that he'll come when HE decides, not me. I actually had tried to talk myself into being prepared for him to be late, but when we had all of that false labor happening, I got my hopes up...and now that his due date has come and gone without any baby, I'm trying to get myself back into the "okay--it's all right if I go 42 weeks and he's still not here. It's up to him" mode.
Sorry that my last post was so negative...I really do love being pregnant, and I'm lucky enough that my baby moves a lot, so I know he's doing well. I guess I'm just impatient to meet my new son, that's all. Thanks to all of you for being so supportive!!
