Welp, I'm still pregnant...

So I am now 5 days past m due date, which feels like an eternity because I never thought I would even make it to my due date. It's been pretty rough emotionally, I just feel grumpy a lot. I know everyone says baby will come when he is ready, but I'm starting to think that my body just doesn't know how to go into labor. I'm having less contractions now then a month ago. At my appointment on thursday they did a non stress test, and I didn't have a single contraction show up, which is the first time ever while hooked up to the monitors that I haven't had one. I asked Sherry at my appointment if she would strip my membranes, and she said she really doesn't like doing that, I was kinda disappointed by her answer, and the fact that she didn't want to see me back for another week. That same day, which started out great by the way, my best friend Sarah came over with Aunt Chris and we had a nice lunch and got pedicures together, but after my doctors appointment, I got a call from my church about the job I had applied for. They pretty much told me that they would love to offer me the job, but that they need the person to start by Easter ( which is only 3 weeks away) and they didn't see how that would be possible for me. I was crushed, but I did call them back and counter offer possibly working at home for the first few weeks. They decided to go ahead and let me interview, but unfortunately that has just added even more stress because the interview date is the 11th. If I go before then like I want to ( especially because my dad is leaving for florida to take my grandparents to my uncles wedding) I may not feel up to going to the interview, or even possibly still be in the hospital, but if I don't go before then that means that I will have to be induced, and then my dad and grandparents will probably miss the birth of my son. I know God has a plan, I just wish he would let me in on it so I could quit worrying.

Saturday and Sunday were much better days for me mentally, I kept myself distracted. Saturday I went to the Peoria Mothers Of Twins club sale, and found some good deals on stuff for the baby, and also had a fun time just being out of the house. My parents came over that afternoon, and I drove around for a while with them looking at houses for sale. Then we met up with Nick after he got off work and had lunch. My parents came back to our house for a while after lunch. My dad helped Nick work on the bathtub ( which still does not work but they know why now at least) and My mom helped me put away some baby clothes I had washed that morning. We had a really nice time just sitting and talking for a while to. Nick and I went out to dinner on Saturday night to Famous Dave's because we had a $50 gift certificate that we had never used, it was a lot of fun, and we STUFFED ourselves with lots of yummy food. Sunday, Nick got up early to go work out with some guys that are doing this crossfit competition with him next weekend, and I slept in. When he got back, we went to church, and I got a lot of "you're still pregnant!!!" and " when is that baby gunna come out" it was annoying as usual, but I just smiled. Then after the service, a friend Monica came over and prayed for me, it was really nice, and I felt refreshed. It was also really cute because while she was praying for me she had her hand on my tummy, and baby kicked her :) Nick and I headed home and relaxed for a while, and then all the sudden Nick decided he wanted to get ice cream, so we hopped in the car and drove down the road to Emo's got some ice cream, and then decided just to drive around for a bit. We drove through some neighborhoods looking for houses for my parents, and then drove down the 2 bumpiest roads in peoria ( to see if it would put me in labor lol) and then went to Target to just walk around for a while. We laughed and talked, and had a really nice time.

Now it's the start of another week, and after a day of sitting by myself, I can feel myself getting grumpy again. I just wish this baby would get here already...
