Well the day is finally here!!
Funny has how it has seemed like forever ago and yet just yesterday that we found out we were pregnant, all at the same time. Our little bambino is due to be here.....dum dum dum.....TODAY!!! Now it is the waiting game that all pregnant Mums dread. I am off work now and the lists are complete. Cleaned the entire house? Check. Done all of the laundry? Check. Food prepared for freezer (which I wouldn't even have done had I not been bored out of my mind)? Check. Baby room 100% ready for wee one to come home? Check. What else is there to do?!! It is almost excruciating to endure the wait wait and more waiting.
I am filling my evenings when my man heads to work with long walks, yoga, reading, endless wanderings around our teenie little home to try to find something to keep my brain occupied oh yes and of course trying any and all of the methods all of those crazy myths that are out there to induce labour naturally. It is just too funny that I am complaining about being bored, but for a go go woman this is a tough tough time.
And what does a woman who has time on her hands end up doing through all of these attempts at minimizing the agonizingly slow days before baby? Her mind goes into overdrive!!
All of the silly or not so silly things, but the things you weren't worried about of course now start to creep slowly into the day.
You know the ones..... breastfeeding: can I do it? What if I can't?..... no longer being alone with your other half (yes you now have to learn to share)?.... sleep, oh yes the dreaded sleep. Will you cope? etc.etc.etc.
All of these things filter in and out of my head as I wait for the little monkey. I have to remain patient (not so easy) and know that we will be fine. Our wee family will be wonderful with or without worry.
So we now start the negative countdown.......so unless this baby decides to meet the beloved Mother Earth in the 3.5 hrs......tomorrow will be a -1 day.
Soooo.....fingers and toes crossed...but not our legs!!! COME ON BABY!! We want to meet you! =D
