Hey, have you had your baby yet?

No.

I'm getting the phone calls and the e-mails and the wall posts asking me to please have the baby already. You know what? I'd love that!! I might sound a little bitter, but really I have to laugh and appreciate it. It's truly wonderful to have so much support and love coming my way. So, if any of you are guilty (ummm.. Mother ;) ) I love you and thanks. Your job??? Pray for us. I tend to get nice little negative thoughts in my head at this stage of pregnancy... thoughts about baby's health and homecoming and I would looove your prayers to strengthen me. Prayers for the safe and happy arrival of a healthy little baby to join our family and a (relatively) easy transition into life as a mom-of-two. To know that God's plan is being carried out in my life and that I had handle whatever He brings me, with Him (and my family and all of you) beside me.

I'm so excited to meet this little bundle. There are so many things that I don't know about my own child! Temperament? Appearance? Cry? Gender? Name? It's pretty cool to have the list of unknowns that I have at this point and to know that in a few weeks (days? hours?) I will have all of those little bits of knowledge tucked away in my brain. I realized something the other day. Doc said that I will be induced on Sept 10th if induction is required (yuck, plases not, I already did that once). That means that in less than three weeks I will no longer be pregnant. I will be a mom-of-two. Labour and Delivery will be behind me and I will have had the chance to feel this little one wiggle on my chest instead of in my tum - which it does ALL the time.
Wild!
So, thanks for the thoughts, feel free to check in (hehe, just excuse the snarky remarks you might get from me). I am trying to set up having another local blogger do the honours of the new baby post with hospital photos (are you up for it, Mar?) so I'll let you know if that works out.
