Long ending

So I am going to vent for a second.
I am now at the end of pregnancy. I am almost 38 weeks. I had a doctor's appt on Wednesday afternoon and she informed me my baby should be here in a couple of days. Then yesterday I started having steady contractions, but nothing progressed passed 5-10 min intervals. Waiting is HARD. I want to get started on this whole active labor thing, but I guess I should be grateful for a couple days of rest and relaxation before the baby comes. I just expect him here any moment and he's taking his sweet time.
It is also extremely HOT.  91 degrees today, and I'm sweating in my 70 degree house. This baby is WARM. I know I should get out and do stuff, but I'm being a bum and sitting inside feeling sorry for myself that my labor isn't progressing.
It is mentally challenging, and I know I should be grateful, I'm fully effaced at 38 weeks, so I'll probably have him soon and get to skip the last couple weeks of being pregnant, its the not knowing that's magical and dreadful all at once. I'm ANXIOUS. So that's where I am.
Hope you all are enjoying your summer Friday.
I need to get out of this funk.
