Run for your Life!

I'm really tired of being pregnant. I went to my regular appointment on Friday and the doctor says I'm not dilated AT ALL. This hasn't happened to me with any of my other pregnancies, I've always started dilating like a month before and been at a 1 or 2 for a couple weeks. But with this one? Nada. Nothing. Just BLAH.

My son is insane. He didn't use to be this way. He was the sweetest baby and mellow and laid back and so fun, and then...he turned one. And after that it just went down hill. He all of a sudden figured out that he's a BOY and boys are supposed to be NAUGHTY! When I talk to him about the baby, do you know what he says? "Baby MEAN!" Seriously. I ask him if he wants to see the new baby and he tells me "NO!" and I ask him if he'll be nice and hug the new baby, and he says once again: "NO! Baby MEAN!"

So then it hit me. This baby isn't coming out because its freaking scared of my son! I can't blame him for being terrified for his life. I know I am. Because heaven knows that boy doesn't have a gentle bone in his body, he is all rough and tumble.

I'm thinking they're either going to have to induce me, or this baby is going to be hiding in the darkest recesses of my womb for a LONG time. Poor nameless baby.

  1. I think your son is wise. We all know how babies are trying to kill us!!

  2. You need to get simple gifts for all your children from the baby and let them open them in the hospital. Maybe your one year old won't hate the baby so much if it comes bearing gifts! (We did this when Tegan AND Mayci were born and it was fun.)

  3. You poor thing! Those last bits of pregnancy really bite. I hope your son learns to love the baby gently- and soon!

  4. Hahahaha! Poor pregnant Melinda with the evil son. I have one boy who after 2 1/2 years is still not completely fond of the baby that came and ruined his life. However, he was never aggressive with him as a newborn, he just totally ignored him. It was like the new baby didn't exist. And I was just fine with that. But the older the younger one gets, the more he talks and understands and play, the better the relationship gets. So there may be a light at the end of the tunnel for both of us. Patience, my sweet, patience.

  5. Perhaps the baby needs to get some more in utero training to get ready for future fights?

  6. Well, that makes perfect sense to me.
    Tell you "mean" son to behave and be nice, or you'll stick him "up there" with his nameless brother.
    that'll fix him

  7. Maybe nameless baby is getting ready to burst outta there, full alert, fists flying, when 'son' is least expecting it so he can get the first shot in. Ya know, like the element of surprise. Maybe.

  9. I seriously don't know whether to laugh or cry for you! But it does crack me up to think of you hiding that baby from the boy!
