Hey all!
This is going to be the shortest blog post ever but I thought I should give a quick update since we're down to the last lap of Baby Gate 2012! Also I might feel just teeny bit guilty for my pissy facebook status from last night....actually I don't feel guilty about that at all, but I am still capable of some rational thought so I do understand that people just really want to know what's going on. If you're one of the those people I viciously attacked, I apologize. I completely understand your state of mind because trust me, no one is feeling more impatient right now than I am.
So here's the latest. Yesterday and today are my due date(s) YAYYYYYY!!! But I'm sitting at my desk, writing to you and being a total biatch on facebook so that means Eleni is not here yet BOOOOOO!!!
But I AM excited to report that for the last day and a half I've been feeling like I've been hit by a truck. So that must mean something right? If you've been through labour before please feel free to share your story about how you felt when you first went into labour....I won't be annoyed and I promise I won't attack you. I'm genuinely curious because I know it's different for everyone but I just find it odd that I've been having symptoms for so long yet I'm still not in the hospital. Could this all just be psychological? Or is Eleni just a bit of a procrastinator like her mommy? Or maybe she's planning an over dramatic entrance...which could also be attributed to her mommy.....hmm....
It's 10am Saturday morning here which means my parents, my brother and his girlfriend should be landing at the Athens airport right about now. YAYYYYY!!!! They'll be here on the island by about 4pm today so I'm counting down the hours! I've already emailed my brother to say I feel pretty crappy today but nothing that makes me think we need to go to the hospital. But that if they manage to get off the plane, collect their bags and get outside of the airport without seeing me, then they know to take a taxi to the hospital. I definitely have a very slow waddle for a swagger right now but I should be able to make it across a parking lot before they panic and get into a taxi. Lets hope so anyway!
So that's about all. No baby yet but I'm definitely not feeling good so maybe that means something's happening. I almost hate to say "maybe something's happening" because I feel like I've said that so much over the last week and a half and then nothing happened. We'll see. Anyhoo, I think I'll wake Antonis up and see if he'll take me for an 'early' morning swim to try to get things moving....I know 10am shouldn't be considered early but for him it's still practically last night so I might not be successful in this endeavor.
OH, and sorry for the lack of pictures lately. I've packed my camera into my hospital bag which is now waiting patiently in the trunk of our car. We decided to sneak the bags up in the middle of the night so that when I do go into labour we can either silently slip away in the night, or pretend we're just off to the beach if it's during the day. Sneaky sneaky. It probably won't work though. My mother-in-law probably has the house bugged so she'll know immediately if we're on our way out the door. That reminds me, I should really check that basket of crib sheets she brought over the other day.....
Have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteAlmost there girl! She's totally waiting for the family to get there. She's coming, just keep walking and keep moving as much as ya can. Aparently sex is the best thing....although how anyone can even think about that in due date state. The last thing on our minds eh. But its supposed to really work :s. I went for a walk with the dogs and the next day I started labor..pretty sure that's how it went. Haha. Good luck Tara. Its happening very soon. Love you lots and be strong. Give your mom dad and bro a hug for me. Xoxo
