sanity is overrated
6 days over by scan date.
1 day over by my dates.

Am an exhausted emotional wreck.
Distract me from my forever gestating baby and endless misery?

Oh you poor thing. Your baby definitely wanted to be a 2013 baby!

We are currently camping through a WA heatwave, in a tent. Melting!

You poor thing! I only went 5 days over with DS and that was very uncomfortable so I always feel sorry for mums who go overdue. I hope you suddenly go into labour today original.gif

Oh dear Cherish...

Hmmmm..... what to say?

Father New Year (we were away for Christmas only got home last night) brought us a high pressure water cleaner.

So far I have written my name on the concrete, and done assorted squiggles all over the steps and cleaned the lid of the recycling bin... think the house looks even scruffier than before!

You poor thing. I went 12 days over with ds2 and it was just ridiculous.

Go for a swim. I found it was the only comfortable thing to do for any real period of time.

Or check out the google highlights of 2012 global and then aus and click through to read about any you don't know much about.... That would take a bit of time.

Or maybe skirting boards need cleaning?

Hope your baby comes soon!!

Hi Cherish

I'm sorry to hear that your little one is refusing to come out and meet you. I know it's small comfort, but this time next week you'll likely have him / her in your arms at last.

Have you seen 'The Life of Pi'? We've just got back from seeing it. It's absolutely incredible - so fantastic. See it in 3D if you can.

What about swimming? No pressure on joints and might help relax you. Or a movie marathon with a pedicure or facial? There are some great facial things at the shops - I bought a Body Shop cooling face mask a while back. It smells like the sea - yum.

I know how you feel, even though i'm not overdue- yet. Due today by my dates, friday by the scan, and just know that neither of these will be met. So i'm sitting in front of the fan, trying to ignore the music blaring from my neighbour's NYD party, and trying not to feel too tragic/pessimistic/pathetic. Might take my sore, bloated, overheating self for another walk to escape the greatest party hits of the eighties.
Also freaking about the heat wave due later this week. *deep breaths*
We will NOT be pregnant forever! Really!

Heatwave?tent? I'm shuddering at the thought!

Funny countrymel!! I love doing that too!

Have an iPhone not an ipad- will have to have a look!

12 days? Oh em gee !!! I will be rocking in the corner if I get anywhere near that far!
Can you believe it's really not warm enough here to swim? ohmy.gif

Screw the skirting boards- they will always need cleaning Tounge1.gif

I haven't seen the life of Pi- I don't think I could bear to face the general public unless forced too!

I have 4 kids keeping me busy and my hubby goes back to work tomorrow sad.gif
Was really hoping to have a baby before he went back sad.gif
