T minus how much longer?

I'm still preggo people, did you know that 7 out of 10 first babies are born after the due date? Ugh, I definitely set myself up to expect that this baby would come early, so now even though I haven't reached my due date yet I already feel like he's late. Not to mention the impatience of others, I'm getting a lot of "you're still here?" from coworkers and "well? is there a baby yet?" from friends and family. I've also been trying to encourage the baby in certain small ways, like by drinking red raspberry leaf tea (which is a uterine strengthener), stimulating pressure points, and ahem.. other means of the sexy variety (but really in the least sexy way possible when you consider that I really can hardly move and generally have little actual desire because I'm so achey and sweaty and just blah). I feel like a giant penguin, all awkard and waddling side to side, I could definitely tip right over if someone gave me an unexpected shove.

But you know what, enough of that! I have just one more day of work and dragging myself through the process of commuting and being 'on' , after that I'm just going to relax, read and bead, eat, and meditate. Maybe baby doesn't want to be born to me being all tense and stressed and impatient and he's just waiting for me to chill the fuck out. Smart baby.
