I really need to apologize to you guys. Maybe I should have edited a little in my latest posts to not complain so much and have everything be about me wishing I could just have this baby. Everyone has been so kind to leave nice comments. Maybe one of you should have commented a couple of weeks ago saying "you have a month - deal with it!!"
Today I looked at Kara's blog and her banner says: "My Baby Is Due Tomorrow". I realized once again that my little sister is awesome! I already knew that but I gained a new respect for her. You know, she has been so patient and uncomplaining waiting clear until her due date (unlike the whiney, gripey me). I'm sorry, Kara, that you have been reading my complaining blogs wishing I was done 2 weeks early and you have been doing that last 2 weeks leaving nice comments for me. You rock!
I will now send you all my "I-Wanna-Have-This-Baby-Now" vibes your way. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Love you!!

LOL - it is interesting to see how different you and Kara are in your posting.
If I were Kara I would be a tad anxious on how the whole thing is going to go down. You on the other hand are a pro so why not "get it over with".
I think you both rock. I love that you are due so close together and have helped each other through your pregnancies. I wish I could understand what you are both going through but since I don't I just have to tell you both that I think you are awesome for going through this to give your children life. You are both almost there. Just think - next month you won't have this problem :) (you'll have other problems to deal with ;) ).
I think there are a few times in life where complaining and whining is warranted. A couple are the last month of pregnancy and childbrth.
Thanks for the apology but it is sooo not necessary. I understand the wishing to just have the baby; but I also think that overall I have had an easier time of it than you. No major swelling and there is just me to take care of. No kids to drive all over or family to make dinner for or worry about. No two year old wanting to sit on my non-existent lap. No going up and down the stairs...seriously I am such a pansy and have avoided going down the stairs for months.
I think I would have gone crazy trying to keep up with your schedule. I am just grateful for my own circumstances. So, maybe I am pregnant longer, but not swollen, and not with the horrible jumpy legs, and with the five other kids and crazy schedule.
And I think it would be a fun story to tell if you deliver first. So, no holding back on my account :)
You're such a sweet sister, and I can see why Kara loves you and looks up to you so much. :)
This post reminded me of when I had 7 more weeks before my first baby was due. I was having some sort of pinched nerve in my back, so standing and walking was extremely painful. It was the middle of summer, and my ankles were very swollen, plus I was HUGE (When we finally got the kid out, he weighed 10.6 lbs) Sitting made it difficult to breathe, I could only lay on my side for a short time because my hips would hurt.........
I'm sure you can relate to all this.
I called my mom, whining "Mom, I CAN'T do this for 7 more weeks!!"
My usually very sweet mom, very firmly said "You CAN and you WILL do this for 7 more weeks!"
I somehow survived those last few weeks.
I remember how difficult those last few weeks can be.
Go ahead and whine. Really, I don't mind.
