the waiting game

I got some good news and some bad news at the doctor's office yesterday.  The good news is that I'm 3 cm dilated and things are ready to go.  The doctor said it could be any day.  The bad news is that it could be any day. 

See, I had resigned myself to the fact that this baby likely wouldn't come until her due date or after (since I had originally been due June 7th, and they moved it up to May 30th....I kept telling myself she wouldn't come until June).  Now that the doctor has told me it could be any day, I want it to happen NOW!  I'm becoming very, VERY impatient.  I know she'll come when she's ready, but I'm really, really tired, uncomfortable, and just SO ready for this season of life (pregnancy) to be done and the next one (mothering an infant again) to start. 

But here I am waiting.  The waiting game is not one I want to play any longer.  I'm ready!!!

Thinking about you lots and hoping you don't have to wait too much longer!

I'm praying that it will happen sooner rather than later! It sure seems like it's close. Another couple of weeks and I'll be joining you in the waiting game...but of course by then you'll hopefully be done waiting. :)
