Just a few more

As the days go by, I get bigger, baby gets bigger, and my nerves grow more and more anxious. I can not believe that in 6.5 weeks (approximately), my life and David's will be changed forever. I just thank God that she didn't come before this week, or we would have had many rough nights at home without her. I can only imagine what that experience is like, and I hope and pray to God I won't have to go through it. I honestly don't think my emotions could have handled that. With only 3.5 weeks before she is full term, I can have a half a sigh of relief...not a total one yet. Let's make that a 1/3 of a sigh of relief. 2/3's when we are full term, and a BIG sigh when she is born healthy and mature.

With my classes being online, I have a lot of time during the day to reflect and to rest. I spend many moments just breathing and thinking about all the joy to come my way. Having a daughter, or a child for that matter, is a wonderful and fulfilling experience. There is nothing like creating a being that is a combination of love between two people. It is a solidification of life, love, and happiness. And to once think that having children was almost impossible for me is absolutely gratifying. I defied science and nature! Beat that.

With the clock ticking down, all I have left to do is twiddle my thumbs and scurry about like a mad woman. These last few weeks are making me unbearably anxious! It is almost like waiting for that brownie to be done cooking...just a few more minutes and it'll be just right. Don't those last few minutes always seem like forever? Then, you have to wait until it's cooled down enough to dig in! Life is about patience, and I have none of it.
