Well, there's 15 more days to go until Annie's due date. I really did not think I'd go this far, but am glad she's safe and doing well. As much as I am excited to meet her, I think at this point I just want the pain to go away--even for an hour. Is that too much to ask?
I try to keep reminding myself that the pain I am in is all for a great cause. It's funny, looking back on things I thought for sure that Annie would inherit the Outschoorn imaptient gene, but clearly that's not the case. Early on in the pregnancy, all I wanted was to get past week 28 and when we conquered that feat I assumed I would meet her shortly thereafter. How wrong was I? Thankfully Annie has not caved and given into Mommy's impatient desire to meet her and is taking this opportunity to continue to grow. In the meantime I will continue to work on making patience one of my virtues.
On a happier note, Mason and I are almost finished the nursery! There's a few more 'finishing touches' to be made this weekend and then it's done! I'm really looking forward to adding the last detail--baby Annie so the room can finally be complete.
Amber, you have four hands! That's intense.
ReplyDeleteHey Sista,
ReplyDeleteBaby Annie will come soon. Try to stay postive. I know it must be hard because you really, really want to meet her and want to feel like yourself again. Know that she is still 'cooking' and isn't yet ready to make her grand arrival. I am sure that once she arrives you will not be able to fathom life without her. Good things are worth waiting for. You and Mason will make one happy and beautiful baby. Patience is a virtue and I know that in the next few weeks you'll be a old pro at it.
Love you and hope that you have a good day.
