Waiting

Waiting is such a lovely word. There is a world of patience or rather impatience enclosed in that word. I think of all the nice things in life we have to wait for - waiting for an answer to a job interview, waiting for a special phone call, waiting to meet Mr. Right, waiting for the wedding day, counting down the days until our child is born. And, that is just a few of the wonderful things we wait for. The best thing to do is cherish these times of waiting and know that God has a plan.

I went to the doctor today and I could be waiting a little longer, but there is an end in sight. I had a non-stress test of the baby's heartbeat and all is fine. I'm finally moving along in the dilation process and have had a few contractions. The baby's head is further down as well. BUT, if she doesn't come over the weekend, I will be induced on Monday, which happens to be my birthday. Wouldn't that be a nice birthday gift! Although I hope that she will come much sooner and on her own.

I will go on waiting and cherishing these final moments of pregnancy and look forward to meeting our baby girl. Thanks for your prayers!
