:( Getting very frustrated now...

Can't believe it's now saturday night and I still have no baby. I'm going to possibly lose it at the next person who says something well-meaning like 'well the baby will have to come out sometime!' or 'first babies are often late' - yes I have heard these a million times from all sorts of people (mostly random people I don't know, like in the supermarket) and it does NOT make me feel better hearing it so much. You wouldn't believe how many strangers insist on asking when the baby is due. I am never going to 'politely' make conversation with a pregnant woman again - it's soooo irritating!!

I had a bit of an emotional meltdown last night, so I was sure something was about to happen seeing as I haven't had any emotional issues the whole pregnancy, but still nothing. Now I'm very concerned about the prospect of being induced (I have an appointment on Monday to discuss the options). I don't want to be induced, but I also don't want to wait any longer than Monday or Tuesday to have the baby - otherwise he will be so big that he wont fit out of me anyway, and I certainly don't want to have a caesarian. So there is a bit of urgency that this baby hurries up and decides to move out tonight or tomorrow!!

I suppose the only potential good thing is that even though all the other babies born in my antenatal group were early and are very small (except for one who was born on the due date and is normal sized) that my baby will hopefully be normal sized and healthy. And cute. There better not be any complications or health issues.

That's it for now, I'm a bit grouchy as you can tell.
