The Wait

My first pregnancy has progressed at a good pace--occasionally going just a little too fast or a little too slow, but mostly just right.

We've obviously been preparing (our house, our minds and our hearts) for many months, and now...

Now we wait.

On Monday I was 3 cm dilated and 100% effaced. Some people are wondering how I haven't had her yet.

But we're not wishing her arrival any too soon. I can do this for another couple weeks, even as uncomfortable as I am some nights.

It's really quite thrilling--the not knowing when she'll come.

We're trying to enjoy each day as it comes...and each night wondering if it will be our last as a family of two.

The last night we sleep for more than five hours straight.

Baby girl, we'll meet you soon! Whenever you're ready!

P.S. I know we promised the nursery reveal today...but it might not happen until next week. Sorry!
