today would be a great day to be born
Dear Baby,
It's amazing how slow time can go by when you are anticipating something so exciting in your life. Something so huge that you can barely wrap your mind around the reality of it all.
That's how I feel right now waiting for your arrival. I thought for sure we would be at the hospital today. The contractions I had last night were so strong and so uncomfortable, I thought a trip to the hospital in the middle of the night was inevitable. I was wrong. I've been having some contractions today, but nothing like last night. Nothing that currently warrants getting out my little pad of paper and timing them to see if they are long enough and close enough to call your Dad home from work.
I've been sleeping in as much as possible the last two days—getting up at 10—since I know that will be over any time now. That, coupled with the fact that I've acquired this nasty cold and can't sleep much at night, makes for one tired Momma in the morning. I've officially stopped working and am now on maternity leave. It's only been two days and I'm already antsy. The down time is nice, but I can only do so many crossword puzzles and watch so much crappy television (especially since we only get 5 channels). Do you know how annoying the contestants on The Price is Right can be? Pretty annoying.
The house is clean, the hospital bag is packed, and there is nothing to do but wait for you.
Please come soon. I promise you'll love it out here. We will take such good care of you and love you to pieces. We have so much we want to do with you once you come into the world—now and for years to come. It's Spring—a time of new life and new growth—and we're waiting for you.
Love,
Momma

Dear Wee One,

So sweet...I almost want to be born today!
I know you are going to be born when I am on my trip, so I hope pictures are posted when I am back!! Then I don't have to wait too! LOL
Girl you brought tears to my eyes! I remember waiting those last few days before the due date...and the 8 days after my due date, until Kenslee was born. Enjoy sleeping in, and keep us posted! We want Josh to post the day the WeeOne comes out in to this wonderful world!
I hope your little one makes their appearance soon - I can't wait to see them!!
This made me get all teary! I hope the Wee One graces us with his presence soon! I can't wait to "meet" him!
Hi Holly,
The Wee One is probably being "just like his mom"...he'll come out when he's darn good and ready!
Hope he comes soon - like NOW. Here's looking at you kid.....
You're going to be a FABULOUS mom!
I remember when I was waiting for Pan - his due date came and went, and two weeks later, they talked about inducing, and three weeks later, they induced.
The day he arrived was the best ever! I can't wait to see pictures of the wee one!
Too sweet!
