Elizabeth is 23 months old today! Big developments in this past month have included MUCH more talking. She rarely pauses to draw breath. We can’t usually tell what she’s saying, but she says it very emphatically, often gesturing with her hands. At a fairly high volume. She’s also throwing herself down to the floor dramatically when she doesn’t get her way. In the past week, she’s re-discovered headbands, and that has given us a bit of a break from the BOW.
And yep, today’s my duedate. Yesterday at my check-up, I was 2 cm dilated, and the OB was very encouraging about the chances that I’ll go this week. After the exam, I had a ton of cramping, Braxton-Hicks contractions, and some real contractions, and the baby definitely dropped. But after 12 hours of discomfort, things kindof faded away overnight. Today I’m feeling normal and making plans for the rest of the week, after all. Pretty disappointed, but the ladies reminded me at Bible study this morning that the baby will come on his or her birthday, and not before!
Waiting is not fun or easy! It is SO worth it though when baby arrives in God’s perfect timing. I am praying for you! Try to relax these next few days and enjoy spending time with your 2 kiddos before number 3 arrives! 🙂
Thinking of you these last few days before the baby arrives! Hope you and Derek are getting some sleep. 🙂
