anticipation

Another long lapse between posts. Partly because I now have to walk {waddle} about 15 minutes in order to access the internet. Partly because impatience has taken hold of me in the worst way. I just can't bring myself to spend time doing anything that requires concentrating. Or walking. Or sitting. Or waiting. Or reading. The discomfort of being 38 weeks pregnant is turning me into a big baby, which I'm not very proud of, but I can't seem to help myself. Sleep is non-existent. Comfort is a thing of the past. All I can focus on is the overwhelming anticipation of finally getting to meet my little daughter (which will hopefully be very soon). The anticipation is accompanied by a strangely calm nervousness about what my body is about to go through. While questioning my tolerance to pain, and all else that labour + birth will bring, accepting it as inevitable but purposeful is helping me keep it all in perspective. In other words, I'm not freaking out just yet. But don't hold me to that. There's still time!

Things may remain quiet around here for the next few weeks, but I do have some things to share so I will try to get another post in before littleone makes her arrival. Until then, know that I am sending warm thoughts your way and wishing I had even just a little bit of patience to catch up on all those lovely posts + photos I've been neglecting.
