Well, she can be as dilated as she likes because I'm going in tonight to start induction. There should be a baby here by tomorrow. So there! :D

 

She and Pencil Pusher had better start get a move on if they want to have any hope of beating me!

 

Well, then, I am down to PP or Imp to bring home the VWTM* 11/11/11 baby.

 

*very well trained mind

Well, based on what PP has written, she stands up and a baby falls out. So, you never know! :lol:

Well, then, PP will have to stay seated with her legs crossed until 11/11/11.

 

And, I truly thought I would wake to find you taking cleansing breaths by now!

 

Please rest and take care of that cough!:grouphug:

I'm so sick of resting. I can't do anything else, without having a major coughing fit. I've got a million things to do, the house is a complete nightmare from everyone being sick for a week, and I sit on my rump b/c anything else is impossible. ARGH!

 

Frankly, I'm resigned to waiting til Monday. Or Tues. I was warned that I could get bumped til Tues since the hospital can get busy, etc.

 

Apparently, Tues is MIL's birthday. Heaven help us. (I thought her birthday was Wed)

Holy cow, that sucks.

 

I had my DD, our first, on her cousin's birthday. The cousin who DH's family considered the first "real" granddaughter (even tho' there are other granddaughters...they just didn't meet the criteria of being born to a daughter of the family.)

Honestly, I figure either way we're in for it.

 

If I have the baby Monday, we're going to hear whining about how the baby wasn't born on her birthday.

 

If the baby IS born on her birthday, we're going to hear her flip out.

 

I shouldn't say 'we'. Wolf will have to deal with it. By the time I have to hear from her, she should be somewhat calmer.

Dawn, Imp--I surrender.

 

My ils have come, watched me for a week, and gone back home. I've tried *everything*--even walking on an elliptical.

 

But now that they've given up seeing the baby, I'm content to wait for 11/11. :D

 

And dh was given FT hrs this week, while his parents were here, has 2 classes he's gotten behind on between parents & baby watch, & now has a 5p paper due. So I do feel obligated to hold it in until he gets caught up. Although the hospital has wifi...

 

But *sniff* I have to go back to the mw's today. But since dh's schedule was changed, I'm going to be nearly an hour late. I called--they said they'd work w/ that--but, yeah, there's some vindication in doing that. Although I fully expect to *still* get there & spend an hr waiting.

I thought I posted yesterday. I was at least here. Some. But w/ ils in town, I was definitely here less. Cooking dinner & whatnot.

 

Now we can go back to leftovers & other people cooking. :D

Hmmm...I think you are probably happy about dh being FT. So, I don't blame you for wanting to "hold it in" until dh has a chance to get caught up and possibly breathe a tiny bit!

 

Yeah for the inlaws having flown the coup. Possibly, the national guard should be called to put up road blocks preventing them from returning and making you crazy again! :D

 

Now, Imp! Let me commisserate with you on the concept of CRAZY, INSANE, NARCISSISTIC RELATIVES.

 

Our middle son came well, according to my due date, two days early. According to the doctors, 2 weeks early, and according to the mid-wife, one week early, or as she puts it, "Whatever momma thinks wins."

 

So, family trouble. My brother's then wife, now ex, had to c-sections for all of her children because her pelvis is fused incorrectly and she cannot birth a child...literally, she and baby would die because it's impossible. She hand picked all of her children's birthdates so that they would not coincide or be near other family birthdays and be "unique". She was already unhappy that I was expecting a baby in September and kept warning me to NOT to have ds on her son's birthday. Wouldn't you know it? I went into labor on the 12th at 11:00 at night and he was born at 3:15 a.m. on the 13th...his cousin's birthday. SHE WAS FURIOUS! ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS! She announced that they would not honor my ds's birthday or acknowledge it in any way because it ruined everything for her son. Though they gave birthday presents to our other children, ds never received one from them and this went on for five years until it became so noticeable and hurtful to ds that we told them NONE of the cousins would be exchanging birthday gifts anymore. Even though we would have cake and ice cream on each of the children's birthdays (and for ds we always did it the evening after his birthday for the extended family because of his cousin), they would not attend...or sometimes my brother would sneak over if he could get away from her. UGH! He's divorced now and the cousins enjoy celebrating each others' birthdays. Ds is 13 and his cousin is 20 and the two of them like sharing birthdays and call each other on their day, talk, laugh, etc. it's cute! But, boy those early years with MRS. NARCISSIST were over-the-top mental!!

 

So, I have great empathy for you Imp. I really think you need to watch Bones on Thursday night and then DEMAND an induction after that in plenty of time to avoid MIL's birthday and the ensuing insanity!! :D

I would be if he were; they have to either officially bump him up or give him FT hrs 3 weeks in a row. I'm *assuming* that this isn't just a one-time coincidence because I was due this week. :glare:

 

That man has been under some pressure, though. He always says *something* stupid when I'm pg, & we always laugh about it together, but the other day, he got really defensive. Then he compared this pg to an elephant's gestation. Heard what he'd said, & we laughed. :tongue_smilie:

 

Last night we argued about broccoli. That I'd cooked & he wouldn't eat because he didn't like the part that was left. This is a man who'd normally be grateful if I opened a can of dog food, so it was very out of character, but he was #9 in line to be fed that night. (By ME.)

 

But he was scheduled to work every day that his parents were in town, & although he was home until lunch, they were at a hotel, & wouldn't come over until lunch time. He's never lived more than an hr away from them, & I think it kind-of hit him once they got here that...he missed them.

 

Between that, the baby being late, school falling behind, stressful stuff at work, & a surprise tooth ache, well I miss my dh, but the guy coming home at 10PM isn't him. Hopefully we'll run into ea other some time next week. :tongue_smilie:

 

Yeah for the inlaws having flown the coup. Possibly, the national guard should be called to put up road blocks preventing them from returning and making you crazy again! :D

 

They're great people. I'm glad they were here, I'd even missed them. But they planned their trip around the baby, so when he didn't come, it really messed everyone up. And our personalities are opposite enough that just sitting & visiting--while *wonderful* for a day--is a lot for every day for a week w/out dh to...be here, too. ;)

Good luck avoiding MIL's "ensuing insanity," Imp. ;)

 

ETA: Faith, after having the gall to deliver a baby on his cousin's bday, I'm surprised you'd have the audacity to post about it here, too. ;) :lol:

Dr offered to break my water and start labor at a visit a few days before my due date - the main reason I said yes was to avoid giving birth on my MILs birthday. :tongue_smilie:
