I have to say...this is the toughest part of the pregnancy. Yeah, morning sickness, bloating, heartburn, discomfort, swelling...those things are tough but nothing compared to waiting. I know the little ticker on the side of my blog says 5 days and he's not over due (yet..) but I'm feeling overdone and ready to hold my little bundle of joy! I'm emotionally and physically spent!
I found this poem - go grab some Kleenex - it's beautiful and says how I feel so well.
Waiting
Dear Baby, here beneath my heart,
I thought that you might come today;
The timing seemed just right.
But the stars are out
And the moon is high
And sheepishly I wonder why
I try to arrange the plans
Of God.
For now I know
You will not come
Until the One who holds eternity
Rustles your soft cocoon
And whispers in tones that I will not hear,
“It’s time, precious gift.”
“Now it’s time.”
