Well...we're still waiting. Which sounds obvious because our "due date" is still a week and a half away. It's just such an ambiguous due date I have little confidence in its accuracy. And then even if it is "accurate", it's not like someone comes and knocks on my uterus asking the baby to make his way out on that specific date.
ug. Up until now, Jonathan and I have both been pretty good at just letting this take its time, come as it may, etc. Now that the "signs" are showing up and really the only "Sign" i'm still waiting for other than the actual contractions would be my water breaking-everything else has either happened or is in full progress-it's tough to just sit here and think hmm...how is this going to go down. I'm not nervous or anxious, I think I'm just becoming rather impatient. We're in that phase now of going to bed at night knowing we won't sleep much because every time I wake up I wonder and Jonathan either consciously or subconsciously wonders if its because I'm having contractions or because I have to pee for the 300th time. I don't know which little "pains" and cramp-feelings to pay attention to and attempt to time and which ones to ignore so I don't get excited....sheesh. Guess we have to somehow go back to being sort of apathetic and just letting things happen in their own time, trusting that we'll just "know". My next doctor appointment is scheduled for next Wednesday morning. MAYBE we'll at least go before then...our new friend Shemicka Asom from our small group study at church is a nurse in the "baby unit" at our hospital, and she works today during the day, so it would be nice to go today! Staci reminded us that Logan is still routing for the baby to arrive on his birthday, which is this Sunday, which would also be fun.
ANYHOW...that's all for now. Still hoping this will be the last post before the "birth announcement" but WHO KNOWS! :) Time to work on patience...
