This compiled over the week past my due date:You Know You’re Overdue When:
At the O.B.’s office your aim into the cup is dead center
You use your insurance card so often that you attempt to use it as a debit card at Target by mistake
You waste no time in making shoe selections for the day: you are limited to the 2 pairs of flip flops that barely fit…
You eye all weather reports with temps above 70 degrees as WAY too hot…
Your maternity clothes are all too tight
You choose clothes at night for the following day just in case you go into labor over night
Every morning you wake up and think “Well, last night wasn’t the night- it MUST be today!!”
Your bag for the hospital mysteriously starts to creep closer to the front door
Your incoming phone calls and emails all begin with “Have you had the baby yet???”
Your bathing suit leers at you from the depths of the closet
You feel entitled to chocolate at breakfast, and every other meal
You no longer feel vaguely guilty about purchasing 2 pints of ice cream at a time
You start to remember all the bizarre baby names and their meanings without trying hard
While at the ob you bump your belly on the vertical stand of the scale
You read and reread what signs of labor are just in case you’ve missed it…
You convince yourself that you ARE indeed in labor…
just like last week…
