The Waiting Game

So...patience is a virtue right? Well I am severely lacking that virtue at this point in my life! All this anticipation of meeting our little person is leading up to......waiting. Lots and lots of waiting. Waking up every day thinking, is today the day? Trying to find things to do to keep your mind off....waiting. Just waiting.

Ugh, I really wish there was a way to just stop thinking about waiting. But only working 3 days a week, Jordan has been conveniently gone for the last 5 days and of course, I was off on all those days so I've had to fill my days on my own. And when you're trying to keep your mind off something by staying busy, you can only do so many trips to the grocery store, only so many times you can do the dishes and only so many times you can vacuum in a  day.

It also doesn't help that it has been a crazy heat wave this week. I can't really enjoy being outside just based on the fact that the heat index is 100 and it feels like you are breathing thick, thick air outside! I really have been lucky though, because this summer has had mostly comfortable weather conditions for a 9 month pregnant lady.

I think another part of this waiting game that is making it so drawn out is that I'm just so ready to move on to the next part of our lives! I can't wait to see Jordan as a daddy and to see him interact with our little one. I am excited about late nights and early morning snuggles with our baby. I'm excited to watch them change and grow way to fast for my own liking. And really most exciting is to find out if we are having a little boy or a little girl! I still sometimes can't believe that I have no idea who has been growing inside of me for the last 9 months!

I have been a very happy, patient pregnant lady right up until the end of this thing. I just have to keep telling myself that the later we go, the longer we have off in October and I love October! Jordan has vacation in October and I just love everything about October, so the longer this little person stays inside, the more we get to enjoy fall! I've got to keep a positive spin on this whole thing, otherwise I think I might drive myself crazy! And really, when it comes down to it, we are so lucky to have made it this far, we are truly blessed to have been given this opportunity to have a full-term God given little person! But seriously, C'MON BABY! WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!!!
