Next time I blog I will be a mom...Wow...it's real folks.
May 1st induction scheduled at 2:00pm
We had some friends over this weekend to swim and I sat around and did nothing for the most part. I'm tired and have no energy. But I did hold our friend's little foster baby for a while. He is only 2 months and was born with a methadone addiction so he seems much younger than 2 months and he only weighs 8lbs, which mine will only weigh for a half of a second probably. But as I held him I kept switching feelings of "I'm ready for this" and "I'm scared".
I am watching way to many shows on TLC of A Baby Story where half of them labor forever and nothing ever goes right. I don't know why I torture myself but it's like a car wreck I just can't stop watching.
Part of me is expecting a horrible labor, everything about this pregnancy has been hard, from getting pregnant to sickness that wouldn't quit, so of course I won't have a easy labor. The other part of me is praying that Heavenly Father knows I need a break and Holden comes out quick and easy. Only time will tell..
Either way it's too late to back out now and in 8-9 days I will be holding my little boy in my arms and none of this will matter anymore.
Keeping my eye on the prize!
I am so excited for you two. You guys are going to be AMAZING Parents. Holden will be so blessed to be apart of an amazing family. I will pray you catch a break and have a nice delivery.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how he comes, whether it be fast and easy or long and torturous, you'll forget it all so quickly. Once he's here and safe and healthy, it won't even matter. But I do hope for your sake that labor is a breeze:) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI watched A Baby Story all the time when I quit work and was just waiting for Clark to come. Just a warning...your experience will not be like the ones on TV. It will be completely unexpected so don't plan anything but holding a sweet little guy in your arms when it's all over. You will be amazing and he is such a blessing to you already. Good luck and I can't wait to snuggle him!
