now overdue...

The due date, 10th September, came and went, and here I am on 12th September overdue and still waiting. Keep getting sort of tightening/Braxton Hicks type contractions, particularly in the evening, but at all times of the day as well really, but nothing ever develops. Caught between being desperately keen to get it all over with, worried about how and when its all going to happen and what will happen with the children, and utter fear of the pain to come. And the chaos that will follow that. Trying to feel as positive as possible, but am getting quite worn out now. Feel really emotional, keep crying, itching across bump and now at top of legs is getting really quite severe. Have got labels all over the kitchen - how to work the microwave/make Edward's porridge/what time Elizabeth goes to nursery school etc. Have got ready meals for children and husband in the freezer, got bedding washed again for another week, got petrol in the cars... just waiting waiting waiting. Knackered.
