It seems that I go back and forth between feeling like I could be content being pregnant for several more weeks and feeling like I want this baby out as soon as possible. I'm not feeling as many aches and pains as I was, but doing practically anything other than sitting on the couch just wears me out. I'm exhausted all the time. I woke up yesterday morning feeling like I slept great (I didn't even wake up to use the bathroom until 5, that's how hard I was sleeping), but I was still ready for a nap by 10 am.
I've been having tons of Braxton Hicks contractions and random bouts of crampy feelings, which I hope means my body is trying to do what it is supposed to. My doctor didn't check me for progress today, but last week I was at a whopping 0 cm. I was kind of curious to see if my body had done anything over the past week, but decided that I could wait to find out next week.
Unfortunately, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the worries new parents have. I'm a "worrier" by nature, and having a new baby brings lots of anxiety. I guess I just like to be prepared for the worst (breastfeeding problems, having a fussy baby, not knowing what to do). Rodney is the exact opposite and is helping me focus on the positives and not worry about the negatives until we get there. He's such a great husband and I know he'll be a great dad, too.
My doctor said today that 41 weeks is the latest they'll let me go, so I have 4 more weeks at the most. There is a light at the end of this tunnel!

Yeah!!! Only 4 more weeks, you can do it! I have 9-10 as they said I would only go one week over as well. I'm feeling tired lately and have been worrying a lot too, so I think were sorta in the same boat, though you have been doing this longer than me! :-) Here's to healthy babies very soon!
