40 Weeks + 1 day

It’s been 12 years since I had the privilege of being “overdue” for anything but library books.  That’s not to say I’ve always been on time for things.  Since about child number three, I can occasionally run late for appointments.  And we’ve come into church just as the worship leader has greeted the congregation more times than I care to admit.  But late with babies?… I haven’t done that since 2000.
So my history, coupled with the red flags the doctors had been throwing out since mid-pregnancy, led us to believe we wouldn’t be post-due this time around, either.
But we are.
And I don’t feel the least bit “ready.”  I’ve had none of my usual signs that the baby is on its way.
So yes, I’m still here.  Waiting.  I feel like the last two years have been a continuous lesson on God’s timing.  This fits.  Exquisitely. 
I’m still betting on a 9lb., blue-eyed, baby boy.  However, at this rate I may change that to 10lbs…

  1. You look fabulous…now praying that your little one makes its appearance on its own…though…for encouragement sake, I will tell you that my 2 inductions and the labor that happened naturally did not differ in any way…pain or length! Still praying that Ducky comes on his/her own though!
