Waiting

Those that know me, know that patience is not my strongest virtue. I like things to happen when I am ready. Well I am ready for Miss Caroline to make her appearance. I am excited to meet my baby girl. Abigail was born two weeks early. Let me tell you, that spoiled me. For me pregnancy did not even last 38 weeks, so sitting here at just over 39 weeks feels like an eternity.

Everywhere I go, people are asking me when she's coming. I sure wish I knew. Several family members have been out of town this week, and my mom can't travel yet, so maybe the girl is holding on until she can have a big welcome party. Maybe she just wants to show from the very beginning that she is different from her older sister. Maybe she'll be born today.

I have no control over this situation. For those of that like to take charge, that's hard. This is one of the biggest events of my life, and I am just waiting. I have no idea when it will happen, not can I do anything to make it happen. For me there is no doubt though that Miss Caroline will be worth the wait.

We will start talking about an induction next week which is not really what we want, but we don't want to go too far over time either. Please pray that my sweet girl decides to make her appearance sooner rather than later and without being forced out. I hope my next post will have pictures of my beautiful new little girl.
