When the DUE DATE comes and GOES!







So June 2nd was yesterday. AS in YESTERDAY was my due date-GUNFUNNIT!

IT's been a really challenging experience for me to have carried past 38 weeks. All four of the children that I've birthed all came before 39 weeks. I seriously, didn't know how good I had it. Even my Yzhak followed suit and came about two to three weeks early.

I've decided that I'm pregnant with a little girl who seriously has her own mind and TIME FRAME. I've decided for future reference to pocket away this experience when having to deal with ANY POWER struggle that she and I will have. Because you all KNOW she and I are going to have some words from the very beginning.

I've walked, and walked until my ankles have grown extra ankles. And my darling nieces have actually--VOLUNTEERED--to massage them. They're (the angelic nieces) are going straight to Heaven. I've tried hot foods and I think I heard her laughter. I've PRAYED--the HEAVENS knows I've prayed and still she's still inside of me, cozy as a pea and seriously holding on to the walls of my hip bones as to refuse entrance.

I've cried too. Yes, I've cried. You would too, if you've stopped believing that she's ever going to come out.

And I'm not the only one in wonder over her TIME FRAME. I have family calling every day STUNNED that she hasn't made an entrance.

I guess, writing about it helps just a tad little bit. Like smiling through eating a liver sandwich. Telling myself, "Liver is good for you." Yeah, right, because I'd rather have someone poke me in the eye.

Remember that saying? "Don't put off today what you can do tomorrow?" I'm trying to get the interpretation of that saying in Samoan from my Dad. Because I'm seriously going to call her my procrastinator.

Ok, so this blog is a little on the vent side, BUT CAN YOU BLAME ME!

Wish me luck she actually comes soon. Like today, in two hours after I've taken a well rested nap.

Hang in there! Like our Sunday School teacher said in class last week, "You can't go 20 months and still be pregnant," (comparing the Second Coming to a woman's due date). How long have we been waiting for Christ's return? lol! JOKING!!!

Have you tried eating fish? If you don't feel like eating fish, maybe you could just take the omega-3 capsules. Also, look at your herbal books...aren't there a few scents that trigger contractions?

Good luck! Keep us posted...Teri

Oh Vagi!! I feel for you! I'll pray she comes out soon. I can just imagine how ready you are to have your body back without something growing inside. Good luck with the birth!

I made it! I love your blog post. kinda like me, just say what you're thinking. and I do think it helps to VENT and get it ALL OUT!! :) just think she's not ready yet, her little lungs need your extra protection for just a few more days. i'm sure that's all it'll be. mom's are better than incubators. and she knows it. ;) sorry you're overdue, Vagi. but she'll be here soon. she can;t hide from mommy forever!! LOL.
love ya! and I added you to my blog. I hope that's ok!

Vagi, I LOVE reading your stuff! Congratulations on such a beautiful and healthy baby girl! I've always been nervous about blogging. I act like I'm someone famous who folks will use it against me one day...lol. Not sure why I've been so nervous. Will get in touch with you when I know the date of the Oprah show. :)

Love you,
Benj
