D-Day is here!
Today is in fact D-day. The day I am due. No signs yet apart from a soaring back pain, which is shooting off through my legs, like little electric currents. I am so fed up with the whole pregnancy thing. It’s always like that, when you run a marathon it’s the last kilometres that are the most difficult. Does it have to do with will power? Are we programmed to want to give up just before the finishing line. Naturally I don’t have another choice than continue this journey.
The last days I have been eating massive amounts of crap food. My dedication to eat healthy has gone completely out of the window. In fact there is a good reason for it. I’m utterly lazy. I don’t want to move my fat ass an inch from bed. I don’t want to stand in the kitchen boiling eggs, slice a tomato and peel an orange. Instead I grab a ready made cake full of carbs and fat. It tastes good. If committing such a deadly sin in the past, I would have immediately put on my running shoes to burn it off. But now settle for returning to my laptop for some more work. Today I am full of contempt and self loathing for myself. I pray to God I will go into labour today. Not in 5 days or 2 days or tomorrow but NOW! Seeing that this blog post is in fact a prayer, I hope God will answer it. I shall keep you posted…
I swear to God this will be the final nude picture you see of me - unless
I carry on like this for another week. I hope not…for either you or me!









Don’t be daft, you look beautiful! We’re holding a plurk bet btw… 4-2 it’s a boy!

reply to this commentHahaha…a plurk bet…how sweet! I think you might be right….or at least Reinout seems to think so. Thanks for the kind words. I guess today was just one of those downers.
Ours was yesterday. Lee was bummed that she didn’t deliver yet. Earlier Today her water broke, and i’m sitting bored at the lobby of the high risk ward while she’s under observation, trying (with no success) to sleep while she’s having contractions and there are other woman in the ward screaming, moaning and groaning from pain. She’s pretty quiet so far, and occasionally coming to get a hug and back rub from me at the lobby, while i’m sitting here with my laptop, a bit bored, and knows that there are many sleepless waiting hours ahead of me.

reply to this commentOded, I wish you and your wife best of luck today! Take it easy, and try not fall asleep whilst she’s in labour. It wouldn’t look good on the start of your paternal resume
