Overdue

By overdue... I mean I am overdue to writing on this blog. Yes, it is one day past our little girl's guess date but to me she will be right on time when she comes. The average birth is 41 weeks anyway. We have everything pretty much ready. The dishes in the sink still need to be done and laundry put away but that will always be there, a never ending job especially adding a little one to the mix. But I think we have pretty much everything set. It's been pretty fun to prepare for the arrival and getting everything ready. We would not have been quite as prepared if it wasn't for the support from all of our friends and family! My goodness have we been blessed by some amazing people. The three showers that were thrown for us has left me in such a state of thankfulness to the Lord for every person in our lives. It has been overwhelming and very humbling at the amount of love that has been shown. Even students coming into the office giving us hats, outfits, and blankets that they made means so much! This little girl is already loved so much- what a way to enter this broken world.

Well, I am a day past my "guess date," not surprised. Based on my family hx I had a feeling this would occur. This weekend were going to try to maybe "help" things move along, don't really know if it will make any difference or not. Right now I am drinking my raspberry leaf tea, one of the home remedies for helping to induce, we shall see. It's cold outside so in any case it's nice to drink something hot! Our Thirsties diaper covers are coming in any day. At that point we will have 11 size one and 12 size two diaper covers. I think we are set for cloth diapering. Talked to Scott about doing a diaper service and he said if we are going to do this then let's start doing it right from the start plus then we don't have to pay for it as well... so I am going to trust my husband on this one and we will dive right into washing cloth diapers every other day.

I keep on going on scenarios in my head of being in some major discomfort and just try to relax my body during those times. I think of my mom, Scott, and Andrea being with be and I sigh know that I will not being going through this alone, that support will be with me the whole way- what a comfort that is. So any day she will be here, we are just waiting on her perfect timing and continuing to pray for a healthy baby and birth!
