However, it seems desperate and rude to turn around to them again and say "Hey! I have another offer - have you made a decision yet?"
I'd say the opposite. It's rude of them to be hanging on and not giving you a firm offer yet.
If it were me I'd simply politely but firmly reply along the lines of:
Hello, as per my previous email, can I chase on the status of my interview held on (date)? I now have other offers in hand, and I'll be making a final decision after close of business on (date 48 hours in future). Are you able to make a decision before that point?
If they say yes, fantastic, if they say no or they don't reply, then you're in no worse position than you were to start with, and you can just take B's offer.
(Side note: personally I'd never advise revealing how many offers I had, what companies they were from, and certainly how much they were for.)

I had an offer in hand from Company A. I'm in the final round for five different positions, but reached out to my top 2 - Company B and Company C - to see if they could counter. Neither could make a decision by the deadline of offer deadline (it was an absurdly quick turnaround), but both worked to see what they could do to move things along. I turned down Company A's offer (for professional & personal reasons) and informed B & C.
Now about 2 weeks after the initial offer, I have an offer from Company B. I'm happy with this offer, but Company C is still my top choice. However, it seems desperate and rude to turn around to them again and say "Hey! I have another offer - have you made a decision yet?" Is it appropriate to ask Company C to counter again (am I even in a position to counter), and if so, how would I frame that ask?
