So last night was pretty intense. Contractions, stabby pains, baby going nuts, pressure the whole shebang. Well, minus the baby. Walking around wasn't even helping. I drank water, I laid down, I walked around and nothin. I suppose it was the first of many painful sleepless nights. I get like 4 hours of sleep, roughly. I tried making up for it this morning but I can't fall asleep for shit!!! WTF man, this sucks. I feel like a zombie.
I'm trying extremely hard not to be bitchy today. Fuck rasberry leaf tea, all it does is fuck my stomach up and give me some sick heartburn, pineapples, pfft. Walking pretty much just hurts now, I wish I knew wtf I was doing as far as checking for dialtion, cuz I obviously don't.
I'm so irritable right now its unreal. I'm getting kinda tired of somepeople calling me and asking me if the baby's born yet, and asking me how I'm doing. Like they really wanna know or something. They just wanna know if she's here. Nobody ever calls me for anything besides that. Yeah you really gave a shit before she was born, I don't think I want a million assholes touching her face. I don't even think I wanna answer the phone to those calls anymore. Fuck it.
Then it's funny, when they ask me, "how are you feeling?" And me, dying for any type of social interaction with anything human begins to respond, "Tired, achey crampy... the usual, dying to get out of the house.." It's ALWAYS the same responses.
"Just wait until the baby's born"
"It's only gonna get worst until she's born"
"This is NOTHING compared to the real thing"
"You still have -number of weeks- to go! Calm down" Yeah easy for you to say. It's called and ESTIMATED due date for a reason....
my fav:
"Oh, I'm sorry that sucks. Well, lemme call u back in 5 min" At least it spares me of the irritating comments.
I still don't know how the hell I'm gonna tell if it's real labor or not. Everyone tells me, "you'll know." I've had friends show up at the hospital at 10cm dialted! I can't even feel contractions enough to time the suckers.
"How many min apart are they?"
"Beats me I just know they're there."
And it's true. I'll hurt, feel the back pain, the pressure, the cramps, I couldn't even begin to time them. Every now n then I think I can, but I doubt I'm right.
Something interesting to read. Really you should click the link, it's actually quite entertaining. Saw this on the local news last night.

I'm sorry.
I hope you at least understand the spirit in which they are given.
I've seen people in this situation before and it sucks.
Here's to your baby arriving soon.
Its okay to be bitchy, just let it all out. I can't help you with any of those questions, being a man I'm a dumbass when it comes to that kind of stuff. Hope she arrives soon, can't wait to see cute pictures.
