The Waiting Game

Lately I don't feel like myself, little girl. Maybe it's because I've officially been on maternity leave for the past couple of weeks, your estimated due date has crept closer and closer and is now only a couple of days away, and since I don't have many tangible preparations left to do I'm just getting antsy and anxious because of it.

Most of me is aching, literally and figuratively, for you to come already, so I can experience birth -- come what may -- and so I can meet you and so I know you are healthy and so I can finally hold you in my arms. I don't want to be idle, but knowing that you could really come at any time is a little disconcerting and disrupts what I mentally feel "up to" right now.

There are plenty of signs of your impending coming and "Is this it?" moments but for now it is a waiting game... hopefully a monumental update soon!
