Barring some serious persuasion on my husbands part, I am thinking yesterday was my last appearance at church until AFTER this baby. My due date is still 2 weeks away & I am already getting "Are you STILL here????" "I thought you would pop weeks ago", & so on. I mean come on. Do they really think that is helpful? Like I don't know I am huge? 
I think people should have to go thru "pregnancy sensitivity training" where they will learn what NOT to say & NOT to touch & that if they don't have something nice to say just SHUT UP! 
Seriously though, WHAT possesses people? They have to know they aren't helping. I think it is just inherent in our sin nature to enjoy antagonizing people.
Being our 5th baby we are also getting a lot of "Don't you know what causes that?" "Don't you have a TV ?" and my personal favorite "I am glad it is you & not me" to which I just relpy with a smile "So am I."
I have to admit I am getting anxious. I just want to have this baby. My husband has been on vacation & I was so hoping I would have the baby while he was home. Now he is putting together his travel schedule for the month & I am freaking out. I just now I'll go into labor while he's in Fresno or somewhere 
. Added to my own birthing anxiety, my cow has the same due date as I do. So how do I deal with a brand new baby & a brand new calf AND milking twice a day? I'm telling you I am stressing out. Which is stupid because it doesn't change anything & it's not like I have any control over anything anyway.
So here you have the ramblings of a highly pregnant woman who just WANTS HER BABY! 
Blessings.
LOL! I am laughing -- I was at church yesterday.... and while I am still 2 months out, there are 6 of us due before June! S1 is first in January (and I was VERY careful about how I asked her due date instead of the whole "what - you are STILL pregnant?!?!?), then me in March, then L & S2 in April, J in May, and S3 in June.
ReplyDeleteBaby and calf the same time. well, good luck with that! That is where I am saying - "glad it is you, and not me!"
Would you like someone to come be with you when your dh is gone? I'm willing!

Hang in there Momma! Those last weeks are the longest ever. I was curious about the tinture you gave your 5 month old when he was ill. Could you tell me more about it? My children are very sick w/ an aweful cough. Thanks; Micah
