32 Weeks 3 Days…But Who is Counting?

I think it is time that we women lobby for a shorter gestational period. Now, that is not to say that I am ready for the baby to come. Not by a long shot. I’ve spent so much time being pregnant and dealing with all the issues for this pregnancy that I am approximately 5 months behind…. But, being pregnant is not as much fun as it ought to be and I am thinking it is time for us to lobby for 7 month pregnancies. I have never been a patient person. Waiting is not my strong suite, by any means. I’ve always said that I refuse to stand in line for anything I can avoid. As in, “With the exception of the DMV, I ain’t standing in line for anything unless God is at the other end, cause nothing else is worth it.” So, long before I ever got pregnant I knew I would be done being pregnant long before I was through being pregnant.

 Everyone tells me this will all be worth it. I am sure it will be. I’m just ready for it to be worth it NOW…

Seriously though, I am thrilled that we are down to about 5 weeks left (provided the doctor is right that we will likely need to induce by 38 weeks due to some of the complications I am having). I am alternating between sheer panic (The cloth diaper seller’s baby will have no diapers! How will I get all of this done in 5 weeks!? What if she is a high needs baby? What if I come out on the losing end of the 50% C-section risk the doctor says I have?) and relief that the prenatal worrying will finally give way to the real mommy worrying (Is she eating enough? Is she breathing? When is she gonna go to sleep?).
