One of my most treasured pictures 💙

So tomorrow is my due date and.... nothing yet lol. I’ll be totally honest, it’s been really discouraging and frustrating, especially after having so many encouraging signs on Monday after my membrane sweep. It triggered both my bloody show and lots of contractions that night and I was excited that things might be moving along, but sure enough I woke up yesterday feeling perfectly normal 🙄

I’ve been feeling a LOT of pressure lately. Everyone and their mom asking if I’ve had the baby yet or if I’m in labor and having to tell them no makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong, or that my body isn’t working properly (even though my due date isn’t until tomorrow lol). I have to keep reminding myself that babies come when they’re ready, and that even though my body might seem ready (3cm dilated, 75% effaced), that’s just not how labor always works. My doctor says I’d be a good candidate for induction if that’s what I want, and that by next Thursday if Hazel still isn’t here she does want to medically induce, but I really want to go into labor naturally if possible. My body has done some spectacular things the last nine months, and I’d like to see this last part through. Plus pitocin scares me lol.

So for now, I’m trying to keep busy and just enjoy these last few days being pregnant. Doing chores, taking baths, bouncing on my yoga ball, eating dates, going for walks around the mall (it’s 100+ degrees and 60% humidity in Phoenix today so there’s NO WAY I’m going outside lmao). Anything to distract me, even if it’s trying old wives tales 😂 Being anxious certainly isn’t doing anything to help her come, so at this point I’m just trying to stay relaxed. 💜 I’m going to miss having her in there. •
Mamas who were on time/late - how did you keep from going crazy the last few days??
