Jul. 9, 2007 - Waiting....
I know that many, many women go past their due dates and still proceed to give birth to a baby, but I am convinced I am the exception and that, in fact, I will be pregnant with Baby Sarah forever! Yesterday was my due date, it has come and gone and Baby has not seemed to realize that! And so I twiddle my thumbs, rearrange birth supplies, mop my floors, mop my floors again, refold receiving blankets, twiddle my thumbs so more and .... wait. "A watched pot never boils" so I try NOT to watch my body like a hawk for any remote sign that labor is around the corner but to no avail. Baby Sarah is happy as can be, tucked away in my womb where it is warm, safe, relatively quiet and all her needs are met without so much as a wimper. She really doesn't appear to have any desire to reckon with the forces of nature and make her entrance and I have been unsuccessful at convincing her otherwise. And so I wait... what more can I do? Guess I'll go mop the floor again!

Oh, the waiting! Those can be some very long days. Peregrine was nearly two weeks overdue and Alethea was six days early. I really wish we could get away from the "due date" and have a "due month". I know she will come in the perfect time and pray that you will have peace as you wait. Your kids must be hopping with the excitement! Praying also for a safe and simple delivery of your precious blessing. Can't wait to hear the news!
