Has Time Stopped?



Wow, after close to seven years of marriage and almost five tough years of infertility we are on the cusp of parenthood and it feels like time is simply standing still.  It is that nightmare when you are 7 years old, waiting for Christmas or your birthday.  Waiting for the fun and for the gifts. Waiting see what is to come.  It feels like it will never get there. It is hard to sleep, hard to concentrate and just so dang exciting that everything takes a back seat.  

That's where I am right now.  

I can't sleep.

Can't concentrate.

And frankly don't want to do anything but have a baby.  

Go ahead and laugh but it's true.  I can't wait to get to the Dr.s tomorrow and see what progress has been made and what the upcoming plans are.  I have been having contractions, not too many but about 4 an hour and am really hoping for a change in dilation and effacement tomorrow.  If nothing else Dr. will strip membranes...yuck...to help things along.  

It is time.

Take a good, long nap before you go to the dr. It could be the last one you get for the next 18 years! I am so excited for you and I know exactly how you are feeling. Let's get that baby out of you! Lots of loves to you and phil and, hopefully, your little man.

I'm so happy for you. The day feels like it will never come, but it will! The waiting is hard. If you want to do something to pass the time - call me!

Good luck at the doctor's appointment. It will go great. But, I'm hoping the doctor will say he doesn't think you'll deliver until the 23rd. Sorry.....that pot of money is mine! :) Really, I hope you have progressed and baby boy gets here soon and is healthy. Your world is about to change, but it will change for the better!
