Hurry Up and Wait

I'm still here. Full moon pregnant.

Forty weeks in just days. These things seems so arbitrary now...my little man knows little of the date we've chosen for him. 

I hear pineapple helps induce labor. And sex. And walking. I'll try them all...

I've nested. And re-nested. The closet are clean. The cupboards organized. I did six loads of my husband's laundry on Sunday. In the decade we've been together, I've only washed one load of his laundry. And I ruined two of his shirts. This time. His clothes are clean and perfect. Nesting is real. 

Now I want my dark corner. Like a cat. I've shuffled around my nest of newspapers. I want to SIT DOWN and WAIT. I want to Be Quiet. I want darkness. And silence. Leave me alone world, I have the world's work to do...

I was thinking of you this morning wondering how you were doing, so i was happy to see your entry today. I remember those last days before delivery, they seemed endless. My loving thoughts are with you.

It will soon be over, and you will have this adorable human being in your arms. I hope you get your few days of quiet and rest, because one day you will wake up and feel like mowing the yard- and then the time will be upon you. and whoa! hang on honey! The journey begins! will see you soon! much love, mome

Make lots of art! Do lots of writing! Take lots of naps! I know you are anxious for baby, but this alone time is going to be a distant memory.
I look forward to meeting Dax too :)
