Still no sign of any baby. Not only no sign of any baby, no sign of any sign of a baby either. I reckon he ain't coming out until forced to (which will be some point next weekend) so I have a good 10 more days to go. 10 more days of turning up at the school gates to have the parents of most the class say 'still here then?'. That's a conversation that happens about 20 times every morning and every afternoon, so whilst I do appreciate there is little else that can be said when confronted with a bump as huge as mine, forgive me if I'm not just a little bit bored of it now.
Anyway, the one advantage of being this pregnant is that I can behave really badly and get away with it. I think Dave is tiring of this, but there we go. He's not the only one to think that this pregnancy has gone on for long enough now. In fact everyone thinks that except the one person who can do anything about it, and he's quite happy punching me in my hip and refusing to engage in any way.
To be honest, if I was in there and could hear the noise, chaos and general mayhem going on outside I'd not be in a rush to appear either. Last bit of peace and quiet this one is going to get for decades now. And whilst he remains there his brothers can't hit him, smother him, force him to compete in their made up games (which have special rules to prevent anyone winning except them) or make him jump off the top bunk. 10 more days might be an underestimate. Sigh.
I feel for you, I was 12 days early but those last few weeks really dragged so I can only imagine how fed up you are.
ReplyDeleteHope it all happens soon for you. x
Oy vey, woman. Crossing my fingers for you--but uncross those legs.
ReplyDeleteYes, there's a reason why they make pregnancy 9 months long - you're just dying to get the baby out by then!
ReplyDeleteCome on, Jasper!
ReplyDeleteTry one of the alternative things, eg reflexology, acupuncture, etc etc. I really think they are good in this situation.
Plus curry, sex, pineapple, turnip... all those old wives' tales.
Aww. I've been coming over here every day looking for news! I suppose the best thing is to enjoy the (relative) piece and quiet, and eat lots of cake. I remember this stage well. Don't envy you, have to admit. xx
ReplyDeleteI can only really imagine what this must be like (both of mine were early) - don't worry, it can't be long now!?
ReplyDeleteStill here then?
ReplyDelete:-)
(I know - predictable.)
I think he's smart, I'd stay put too - anything to avoid my siblings!
ReplyDeleteI was 10 days overdue. I feel your pain woman. I suggest you plan a romantic, expensive night out with non-refundable tickets to something. That way he'll be sure to arrive
ReplyDeleteLittleboy 1 was also 10 days late. I say book a a haircut. I did, and then started getting contractions half way through. Most embarrassing!
ReplyDeleteI hope he comes soon x
Oh nooo... I specifically came on here to find out if anything had happened! That's annoying of me isn't it? I remember writing posts like this 10 months ago, so frustrating. Hope it's not another 10 days! Sending you labour vibes (which don't sound very nice but maybe they'll work!) x
ReplyDeletethey all come in their own good time. I was surprised when Snowflake started to stir at only 10 days over. Hope you're not too fed up and enjoying these last precious days with "just" two!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous girl, chin up & I promise not to say "still here then" to you EVER! They are in my mind, possibly the worst 3 words you could ever say to a mum past her due date. By 40+5 I think it's ok to tell people to piss off & mind their big noses ;-)
ReplyDeleteMD xx
I bet you are so sick of people asking. I read your tweet about the boys and the bug tonight, so I am hoping that you are all feeling OK
ReplyDeleteHow did overdue mothers cope in the days before they could experiment with blog layouts?
ReplyDeleteMe and Rosie Scribble both - you're the only reason I've been doing any blogging at all the last couple of weeks.... come on baby.... (really good luck too and all that).
ReplyDeleteps pineapple, curry: tasty but useless.... the unmentionable though... that worked....
