I’m under three weeks out from when I think I’m due (the doctor thinks it’s more like three and a half weeks), and I’m definitely feeling the impatient wait kicking in. Realistically, I won’t have this baby until the end of March (which is when my parents will be out to help)–I went late with both the girls. But I’ve had friends with close duedates go 6 weeks and 4 weeks early recently, so there’s that hope that this time will be different. With that in mind, I’ve stocked the freezer, loaded up on paper products, and tried to adjust my grocery shopping practices so that there won’t be a fridge full of spoiling food while I’m at the hospital. But I could be doing this for another month, and it’s going to get old. Tommy and I added up my pregnancies last week and realized I’ve spent more than 3 years of my life pregnant.
Meanwhile, the kids and I keep hanging out…
I have a whole bunch of pureed squash! Wish I could make a savory squash soup and some fresh crusty bread and bring it over tonight! And then add a meal or two to your freezer for later 🙂 It’s the thought that counts, right?!
Totally the thought that counts!
Hi Emily, I know how hard the waiting can be and will be praying you don’t have to wait a full four weeks. I definately want a healthy baby, but, I’m not sure I can make it another 7 weeks, so I definately feel your pain (literally and figuratively (sp?)). Either way (four weeks or less) the baby will come and the difficulty of late pregnancy will come to an end.
