Anxiously Awaiting - 37 weeks

Why is it that after three pregnancies that have gone beyond my due date do I still get anxious and tired of being pregnant three weeks before my due date? Is it the tiniest glimmer of hope that maybe just maybe this time I will go early? Why would this time be any different than the last three? and why would I want it to be? Each time I have delivered beautiful healthy babies that are fat and happy. They eat great and sleep great. Yet once again I am feeling achy and tired of being pregnant, just wanting it to be over already. Scott tries to tell me to enjoy these last few weeks of freedom. Why can't I just enjoy the minor inconveniences of some alien life forn living inside me? Soon enough another beautiful baby will be born into this chaotic life of ours and be swept up in the insanity. Why rush things?
