Out Of Patience And Frustrated

March 25, 2012 By Erika Zane

25 Mar

LM's expression pretty much sums up how I'm feeling...

At this point, I find this wait agonizing.  Despite doing everything in my power to distract myself for the past week, I’m so confused and frustrated every day.

I don’t want to complain.  I know due dates aren’t exact.  I know my body doesn’t work like a computer or a machine and neither does this baby.  I know the same thing that happened last time (delivering on my due date) wasn’t likely to happen again.  I know it’s so important that this baby comes when ready and not a second before.  But why won’t he just come out already?!  This really stinks!

I need distractions, but everything I do to distract myself, only reminds me how much I want to have this baby now.  Right now!  I don’t want to wait.  I know that’s incredibly selfish, but it’s the reality of how I feel.  Nothing I own fits me anymore without cutting off circulations somewhere, I can’t keep up with Little Man, I have no motivation or energy to continue to “nest” (plus I don’t know what more I could do), I don’t have the energy to cook or bake, I can’t go out without someone asking me when I’m due, and I can’t comfortably sit in the car for more than five seconds.

Other than just a way to get these feelings off my chest, this post is a request.  I would love ideas on how to distract myself.  Ideas on how to help things along naturally are always welcome, too.  I do know most natural ways to induce aren’t exactly based in fact, but it’s still fun to hear what other women tried and what they feel worked for them!  Plus, if nothing else, you’re helping me to distract myself 🙂

    Go out for a date with Andy! Go out on several! See a movie! Get your nails/hair done! Do anything you won’t be able to do once you have another one around! Get a massage!

    Drink the castor oil. It worked for my MIL.

    Meanwhile I’m due in 2 weeks but will be perfectly happy if I don’t have this baby for another month. My last day of work is tomorrow and then I can start truly nesting… Which I haven’t done nearly enough yet. I have a mountain of things to do so I’m really crossing my fingers that the baby comes late.

    Good luck; I’m sure he’ll be here soon!

    I went out in the yard and did some landscaping – hauled some small rocks from one spot to another when 5 days past my due date with #1. She was born later that night. : )

    I ate the spiciest Thai food I could tolerate when 8 days overdue – my water broke an hour later!

    Having a baby or planning to have a baby is not easy. Pregnancy stage, delivery stage, and after giving birth we should take care of the baby until the baby will grow old. Love and patient is the best thing we can give for a them.

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
