So when a person has had one baby at 38 weeks and the other right on time they believe and become convinced that every baby will be so well behaved. And when they tell everyone already at 38 weeks that their baby can come any day and it doesn't and just keeps on stalling then waiting becomes VERY burdensome.
Word of advise- don't tell people ANY DAY.
People keep calling me and inquiring.
I feel fed up.
I want so much to have this baby. But I started wondering if I am really ready? Emotionally? Labor is hard work- am I forgetting this?
Every day I wake up and wonder why labor didn't start that night. (My previous labors started at night). I feel weird and icky- sort of sick. I supposedly felt that way before Amelija was born too. Could it be a sign?
Oh good grief! How much can we wait and count on something? I became a little ashamed today thinking how I never wait so much for Jesus as I do for this baby. . . Should my expectancy of HIS coming be just as intense?
And so we live on. . . waiting. . . cooking. . . dreaming. . . praying.
Don't people realize you'll let them know when the baby comes?! I'm sorry you are having a hard time waiting. Just remember how much pain childbirth is, maybe it will make it easier to wait :) I love you my dear friend and I'm so excited for you. Enjoy this time and get some extra cuddles in with your other two kids to make up for when the baby comes and you have to be gone for a little while!
