Jennifer's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
December 15, 2003
Well, this won't be a long entry, cuz I have nothing much to say. My due date came and went yesterday, and I am still pregnant. This is very difficult for me, as I am just about THE most impatient person in the world. I have trouble waiting for minute rice, okay people? LOL.
Seriously, though, I am REALLY ready to have this baby. I keep wondering what the hold-up is, and I am just doing everything I can to try to help things along. I know that it is really out of my control, and that God knows best, so mostly I am just trying to stay busy and not think about it too much. After all, he can't stay in there forever, right? (Right??? LOL.)
Sarah's birthday is coming up on Thursday, and I haven't a clue what to do for her. Everything is so uncertain right now, just waiting for DS to be born. I feel like I can't plan anything, because I have no idea what will be going on. I really hate that, b/c I don't want her to get shortchanged. Luckily, she's still young enough that she doesn't really know what's up, so I suppose we could postpone the celebration if we have to. I just hope that this little boy doesn't decide that he wants to SHARE his sister's birthday! That would really suck...
As far as how I'm feeling, I've been very crampy today. Lots of pressure "down there" and I do have contractions, but there's no pattern to speak of. I've gone on two long walks today to try to get things going, but so far...nyet. I just keep waiting for my water to break or something! At least then, I would know...
Well, I guess that's all for now. I've decided that these ho-hum updates are very boring, and I probably won't be posting again until something is actually happening. So, please send lots of prayers our way that labor will progress SOON, and that it will be quick and easy, and I can finally hold my little boy. Thanks, everyone for hanging in there with me. I hope to be able to post the good news VERY soon!
TTYL,
Jennifer
