Still waiting...

Trying to be patient, and not rush through the garden, but it's so very hard. Middle of the week, baby was due over the weekend, and we're still waiting. It's given us more time to get things done around the house, and to get ready for my parents arrival, but I'd still like to be done with the on again, off again contractions. It's hard to patient sometimes, hard to remember that the more I stress over the birth, the slower things are going to go... to remember that if I'm patient and slow down some the baby will come in its own time, and we'll all be much happier for it.

It's been a rocky path in this portion of the garden. My hormones have hit hard the last few days, and I've been crying all over everywhere - though mostly on my husband. He's taken it all in stride, and once he determined it was my emotions and hormones, hasn't been worried, but has given me the comforting I've needed, and the much needed shoulder to cry on. Today has been better, emotions-wise. I've been much more even-keeled, and much less being tossed around by the tears that just kept coming.

Hoping that the contractions I've been having today mean that we've reached another phase, and that very soon this baby will be here. Come on little one! Come out and meet your family.
