Overachievers Anonymous
Well really since I am writing this about myself I would not be "anonymous"...but I have turned something viewed as negative into a positive. I think!
As any of you who have been pregnant can imagine, I have been getting massive amounts of comments about my "belly", my belly button, my size and everything in between. But there are a few things that I find quite annoying:
1. You only have 1 right?
2. Are you sure?
3. When people look at you with a pained face as if to say "I feel sorry for you", when I look quite fine and happy.
Ok ok I will stop...but here is what I have decided. I am typically a glass half full, optimist type of person. And since I tend to do all things to the best of my ability, I have decided to make this venture, pregnancy, no different. I have decided that I am a pregnancy overachiever. My body has created the ultimate baby environment and babies just do not want to leave this comfortable home. They can float and swim in plenty of room while being fully taken care of. Who would want to leave that?
I know this sounds a bit "obnoxious" but I don't really know where else to go with that. So yes...I am due (overdue in fact) and yes I know there is only one. Why you ask am I still pregnant? Because I am an overachiever and this baby just does not want to leave!!!! THERE YOU HAVE IT!

Comments
I agree with you on all the annoying, yet often well meant comments. They just wear thin...
I used to say to people that I was a very good overcooker which I still think is healthier for bubs than going too soon...
it'll be out soon... :)
I CANT WAIT FOR TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!
I am serious
nice work putting a spin on your "condition". however, in the course of the 20 seconds it took me to read your post, i think you've managed to negate everything i learned in therapy - that overachieving is bad for you and bad for those around you! if bebe 4's healthy and happy delivery is a result of your overachievement, then i say keep on reaching for that unreachable star! :)
tomorrow. tomorrow is it! remember how awesome that is? i was just reliving the other 3 birth days in my head last night and i can't wait to wrap that baby up in my arms for the first time.
xoxo,
ash,the ever lovin' ani.
Have a great, beautiful day tomorrow, tonight, wednesday?!!!!!
