"What is the update? "

Well my only response to this question, which I seem to be hearing from everyone around me, is nothing... Still waiting.... First pregnancy, or is normal to be delayed.... i have no clue when my girl is planning to come out.

We miss call by mistake, everyone assumes that we are in hospital. Not that I fault them. It is what I would expect of myself too. But irrespective of expectations or hopes am at the most uncertain and anxiety filed part of pregnancy - waiting for labor and delivery after the expected due date. Rest of pregnancy goes off in countdowns and event planning and simple expectations. But once the due date crosses all sorts of thoughts comes in to play. It starts with 'when is it going to happen?'... Which turns in to, 'How is it going to happen?'.... And then 'what can I do to make it happen? ' ... Which further detoriates to ' 'is everything going to go alright? ' and then finally settles on 'God! Whatever happens, let it go alright and let my child be born hale and healthy!!!'....

Every time I feel my girl stay silent, I start wondering if she is under stress... is the placenta functioning properly.... May be I should just induced add soon as possible... is she alright? . And then I rush to the fridge pull it a glad of juice and drink it and wait for a response. One miss sends me in to panic mode.

I never thought I would panic for such tiny things in life. But somehow becoming pregnant had brought it the worst-case-scenario-devil in me to life and believe she comes to life so often that these days that I look like I have taken leave of my senses. Being practical until by baby is born is going to be uphill task.

Recent update: went shopping in IKEA for the last time before purposed induction date (Thursday midnight supposed to report  to the hospital.. So that they start the medication arguing 1 am on 10th Friday.provided all goes well my girl should be born on 10th.) And got a hanging mobile made of cloth with flower, Spider, Dragon fly, butterfly, and bees. Hanged it from top of the ceiling for my girl to see.  Thinking of getting night lights in moon and star shape and put it up nearby for her.  Here is the pic of the mobile.
