Patiently Waiting....or trying at least.

Well, there's 16 more days to go until my due date and I am losing more and more patience with each passing day. Although I am optimistic that Annie will decide to be early, this girl is clearly on her own timeline. My midwife Abigail reminded me on Wednesday that 85% of first time mothers are overdue, and said I could have another month left in this pregnancy. I just about died. I have given little thought to the idea of going overdue, but since getting this not so nice piece of information Mason and I have had to come up with a plan for something nice to do on May 3rd...just incase.

The sad part about waiting is that every day I think today will be the day, or tonight's the night, but am beginning to realise I have no control over the situation. I guess I will leave it in Annie's little hands and hope she decides to meet us sooner than later.

  1. Patience might not be one of your virtues, my beautiful daughter. While most babies are perfectly content to stay inutero for 40 (ish), you were so eager to check out the outside world that you made your entrance at 28 weeks.

    Any day now, honey!

  2. I know, she clearly did not inherit my impatience! I am not sure if that's a good thing or not...
