I am having a hard time with this and am a little depressed. This week was a really tough one for me so I was surprised when he had told me nothing has changed.. There were some days this week that I was really unsure whether or not I was going to make it, it was filled with lots of aches, pains, and exhaustion. I also have been having pressure beyond belief! It feels like at any moment she is all of the sudden just going to POP out! Then it goes away. My doctor asks me if I have been having contractions and I just tell him I don't know.. so he thinks I have not had any yet (because "oh I'll know") when I'm having one. He says that the pains that I am having are from her dropping.
I have been getting quite discouraged because it seems like everyone who is pregnant is having their baby now or people will tell me their stories and it seems like everyone gets to go a week or two early, or their doctor did this or that to get them going... Don't get me wrong. I am happy that she is comfortable and happy (at least one of us is) but we are ready... can we just meet her already?!
So another week. I have a feeling it's going to go by sooooo slow because I don't have to go to work and I have absolutely nothing to do. So I will be resting, resting, resting. Everyone has been telling me just enjoy your last few days without the baby and relax, but how can I relax and enjoy myself when I am completely uncomfortable and in pain?! I cannot. Can everyone cross your fingers that my water breaks and I go into labor by myself sometime this next week. I really don't know if I can make it that long!!!

I am sorry hun. I know you don't want to hear it, but Maelee just isn't ready I guess. Besides like you said you don't want to get started and be high risk for a C-section. Most first time moms that have not progressed and get started have really long labor. So try and hang in there. You are more then welcome to come and play with Jesse and I. We too will be home all week so mommy can rest it up. I know how anxious you are just to hold your little one and meet her already. Your time will come very very soon. You are doing great!
I know what you're going through. I do. I can say that whatever it takes for you to avoid a C Section, do it. I didn't want to have one...but for the safety of the babies I had to. And honestly I wouldn't have wanted to push out 3 anyway haha! But it's a much harder recovery. I remember those last couple weeks DYING to pop...I even posted about it! But once it was over I realized how quick it happened and how a week or two goes by faster than you think. You'll be perfectly ready for her! And about the contractions...you really may not "know". I didn't have any until labor with Kayson. And with the girls, my contractions never hurt until I was in labor so for months I was having Braxton Hicks but just thought it was the babies bunching up all tight in my tummy. contractions don't always hurt unless you're in labor so just keep that in mind! Stick with it girl...you're almost there and you'll be so happy when she comes that your whole pregnancy will seem to have gone by fast and you'll want to go back in time just so you can start all over to keep her small forever!!
I know exactly how you feel 100%!! but trust me.. i begged for my dr to start me and all he would do was swipe my membranes. it helped but i was in labor for almost 24 hours!! not fun! i was even RUNNING up and down my stairs 10 times a day to hopefully get things going lol i know its hard to enjoy being pregnant right now because you are so uncomfy but once i had kinsey and couldnt feel her movin around in me i missed it ha sounds crazy but you can even ask brandon.. i cried almost every night for a week because i missed her in me! this is part of the reason i wanted another one soo soon ;) she will be here before you know it! take this week and pamper yourself :) get a pedicure, take 5 naps a day, have fun getting ready an doing your hair, enjoy the peace and quiet with jesse everynight haha cuz once sweet Maelee is here you wont have time to really get ready, or take as many naps as you want, and time with jesse will decrease due to her demands and you will be exhausted. I know you are miserable and upset but try to enjoy :)
