It is October 27th. As my due date is today, the day when our daughter will arrive feels close. I have to wonder if Brandon and I will be trick or treating this year. Or if we will be staying in and eating candy whilst watching spooky movies with our daughter.
It is a strange feeling knowing that she will be here amongst us soon. It feels really good... just something I can't relate anything to.
As I sit here and look at the different spaces we have made for her in our house, and in our hearts, it feels like she is a missing piece of our family right now and she was always made to be with us. This feeling doesn't help to ward off any impatient feelings that I have.
We are just trying to remind ourselves that it is Gods timing and her timing, not ours. It is just difficult keeping that in mind as I am up every hour and a half at night with pain or to urinate, or both. Brandon has mastered the art of staying asleep regardless of my restless nights. I am very happy about that.
Brandon wants Belle to be born on the 31st of October, and for those of you who are acquainted with Brandon can appreciate the motivation behind this desire; Halloween Birthday Parties. I try to (patiently) remind him that the 31st is four days late and everyday I stay uncomfortable is a day I may become grouchy/short tempered/tired of pregnancy, but that doesn't phase him. I think it is my fault for not being grouchy enough.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have both bought and sent preemptive baby gifts. We are really beginning to appreciate "girly" clothes which we didn't think would happen. They are just generally really cute. But don't discount the fact that we are still in love with other clothing too.I think when clothing is a certain size it has to look cute.
We will keep you all updated. We are praying things will start to happen soon.
