the wait.

the professor thought i needed to make a note-- this is not me in the bathtub. 
i told him, "it might be me."  he said, "those aren't your hands."
christmas- check.
house on the market- check.
jakob's birthday- check.
speak at stake conference- check.
um, have a baby...

yep...  i'm just sitting around in my clean house, waiting to meet my sweet baby.
it's not good.
i have about 5 weeks left...
and, i'm already getting anxious.
not good.

plus, it's cold... and quiet here in my house.
clothes are not comfortable-- pjs are nice.
i have some books from the library and i just want to lay around all day.
i have been laying around all day...
and cooking soups.
i NEVER cook soups.

will i be able to remain patient over the next few weeks?
i really try not to think about this baby- i want her to come on her own, when she's ready... which  could be LONGER than i'm ready to admit. 
oh, i LOVE the wait.

the professor tells me to just enjoy this time... it could be the last time i ever feel a sweet baby in my womb.
and, yes, it is a beautiful, peaceful time of creating.
but, oh the wait.
and the joy of meeting my sweet baby...
i think i need some projects.

whew! glad you added the note on the pic, cuz yeah, for a second I thought it was you! :)

waiting is so hard, isn't it? for anything.... but it's so nice you have everything else checked off your list and now can just relax and enjoy these last few weeks!

Ahhhh...the wait. Good luck. :) Hope you're pleasantly surprised with an early-but-safe delivery date! :) And as for projects... Hey, you could help me figure out how in the world I'm going to make a cake for Haven's birthday party this Saturday. She wants it to be about hermit crabs. Seriously?? What in the world am I supposed to do with hermit crabs??

Ha! I'm totally glad you added that note, too. I kept looking and thinking, "No, she wouldn't..." It's funny, but I looked at the girl's fingernails and I thought to myself, "those aren't the shape of Jen's nails..." Consider me your second husband.
