I'm due tomorrow but I don't think he's going to come out until it warms up. K well anyway here's my question.. lately I've been crying cause I'm getting really frustrated with my boyfriend. He's been busy I know that but for the past couple weeks he don't call through the week or text me. Its cause he's busy with exams at the university and work. But I've been crying and upset lately cause he don't get the point that it takes 2 seconds to text to see how I'm feeling or I love you or even goodnight. Like I only see him weekends rigth now. So my question is.. is my sadness and hurt going to cause the baby to be a sad baby when born? Or cause any harm? Or is it just baby blues that makes me over react?

Try not to worry... the occasional upset won't hurt baby. Blame it on your wacky hormones and impending birth. Do talk to your boyfriend and try to explain how you are feeling. Acknowledge that he is working hard, and that you appreciate that, so you don't expect long conversations, just a few more quick calls or texts can make all the difference.
Not much longer... find some ways to pamper yourself these last days. Spend sometime with friends and family if you can... :)

That's great advice from Doula--I would add that you should talk to him at a time when you're not feeling emotional, because if you cry he may just think its emotions talking. Sit down and talk with him seriously. Tell him that yes, your emotions are running wild and that you miss him when he's gone, but that you wish you could make a special date night per week, just for the two of you.

You I've told him how I've felt and all he says is "well what do u want me to do about it.. im busy. sorry." like I told him I understand he's busy but I try to make him understand that justa text message to say how are you feeling hun won't hurt. I've tried explaingin why it matters to me to get a little something like that. But I don't think he gets the point. He just says that he guesses he's just to busy to think sometimes.lol. I don't know. And yes I'm due tomorrow but I don't think this little one is going to come out until its warm.. but I don't blame him haha. But I've been relaxingi just want to get the process going.. lol. I don't want to be induced this Wednesday if he doesn't come out. Any suggestions?

Sad to say but men are just kind of clueless about the whole becoming a Mom thing.They are the ones that are kind of in a state of shock during birth because some how the reality is not there for them until they see the baby.Then they are just stunned!
You have had this baby with you for 9 months and so you know the reality of him.
Like Doula said, pamper yourself.Do something special just for your own pleasure.Think peaceful thoughts and write down in your journal all the emotions you are going through.Some day when you share the journal with your son he will get a sense of where you were during this important time in your life.
Many Blessings to you and your baby and Daddy too :D
