I have always believed I was a very PATIENT person. During trying times in my life, I have always tried to be calm, positive, and PATIENT in most of the situations. Well, I am not anymore...... I guess, the toll of waiting for a baby that we have longed to see in a while now is a totally different experience. The length of this pregnancy is taking its toll on me and my PATIENT attitude. I know many have gone longer than I. I am sure some of them were not very PATIENT, either. I am becoming more and more discouraged about our Little Man coming at the Lord's perfect time. It is my desire that he comes on his own, without medical intervention...inducement. Still, the thought of getting a little medical help to get things going is appealing to me right now. I am that ready to have him. After all, I am 3 days overdue!! That probably sounds a bit selfish...I am being selfish.
My body aches in places that makes doing normal day to day things sometimes very difficult. I have been having unproductive contractions for the past week but according to the textbook labor progress, I am only in my latent phase of labor:) Surely when will active labor begin. I am physically and emotionally tired. Waking up about 5 times a night to use the bathroom makes one have very disturbed nights that lead to undefined tiredness both physically and emotionally. PATIENCE is what I need but no longer have. As I go through today with some contractions and feeling him squirm, I will be praying for PATIENCE. For the Lord's time to be now for him to come into this world. He is anxiously awaited by all who love him. A little more PATIENCE...just a little more.
So here is this week's picture..... Dear God, please let this be the last pregnancy belly pic......:)
Thank you for reading and see you all next week!
