over due.
i'm so restless today. i keep wondering if ella will ever come out. and i worry that she won't come out in good time and will have to be induced--leading me to a birth that is not part of my birth plan...a hospital birth with medicine and drugs.
j. and i keep optimistically telling each other she will come when she's ready and "she'll be born on her birthday." but as the days and nights go by and friends and family start the daily barrage of phone calls and text messages asking if i somehow forgot to tell them that i had already had the baby, it gets more and more difficult to just take it easy and wait for this little one.
i guess this is common. a. just had little naomi a full week late, and lots of other mothers have stories of being days or weeks late.
it's just different when it's you and your body and you're the one sitting at home with everything ready and an empty bassinet.

Oh, I can so relate. I remember being restless to tears those days following Brianna's due date, when everything was ready...and yet we waited. She finally came six days late. Just remember, God knows the exact moment she is ready to be born. He's adding the finishing touches to His masterpiece, your Elenora. Psalm 37 helped me in those last days when I struggled with waiting patiently....maybe it will help you too. I've been praying for you.
Blessings,
Cristy
