I am 39.2 weeks along... just a few days left! And so many mothers have given me looks of puty and tons of "Hang in there"'s and even some "You must be so miserable!"
And really, with a six year old and a five year old to keep up with, i shpuld be feeling miserable.... but surprisingly, I'm really not! I'm sore, sure! And my ankles (or should I say kankles) become super swollen at the end of each day! But the hardest or most tediest part is: the CONSTANT questions!!!
People who literally ask me when I'll go into labor. Or when my doctor thinks i'll go into labor. Or my absolute favorite: Why Haven't You Had That Baby Yet?!
Really people? I have no control over this! And what really bugs me is that I'm getting all these questions when I haven't even gone over my due date! I 'm not even late!
Whats more is these questions started when I was still just 34-35 weeks along... Relatives literally calling me to ask if I had gone into labor yet... Seriously. I'll let you know!
I am just as excited to see this baby. No, I'm pretty sure I'm the most excited and anxious. But please, let me focus on bringing her into this world, and safely! Then allow my husband and I do hold her, meet her, and love and bond with her.... Then allow our boys to meet her and love her....
THEN the rest can meet her.
Wow. I guess I had more to get off my chest than I thought! I really do appreciate the concerns, the love and support that we recieve, and the love that so many have for our daughter already! But I have no control over her arrival, and really, my doctor is limited there too! And I am just so grateful and thankful that she is healthy and well. I dont know anyone who would wish to have a premature birth! I am impressed that she has stayed inside me for so long! And I love it, she's recieving the best care right where she's at. Right where she needs to be. Right where she's supposed to be. Right where Heavenly Father wants her to be...
Heavenly Father has a plan for her. I am grateful to be blessed with children. My two sons and my daughter. He has had a plan for each of them, a plan for each of us all along... He has a plan for her too, and so far that includes staying in the womb!
