37 weeks & 4 days pregnant…I am officially ‘term’! Daniel is allowed to come whenever he wants now, and we’re all systems go for using the birthing centre, God willing!
I feel VERY achey today - first day that the aches have been so bad, really, my back feels shot! My cervix must be effacing due to certain wonderful crampy and lady-parts symptoms I’ve been experiencing…it really is just any time soon….but, even in light of that, I am more impatient than ever to meet him. I want him on the outside now. I want to see him, to see what he looks like…does he have hair?
I want to kiss him and cuddle him. I want to sing him Happy Birthday. I want to tell him how precious he is and how much we love him, and how INFINITELY more God loves him - to his face. I want to look into his eyes. I want to meet this little dude who has been growing so excellently inside of me for the past 9 months.
I want to go for walks with him and show him trees and flowers and rivers and grass. I want to hear him gurgle. I want to hear him cry - that first cry….I LONG for that moment. I want to show him off to people. I want to put his little bottom in super soft nappies. I want to cradle him in my arms and feed him. I want to put him down in every room of the house so he can get to know his home.
One of the things I want most is for him to meet his Daddy. I want to see their eyes meet. I want to see the look on Nathan’s face when he first meets his darling son…
All of these things I want, all of these memories yet to be made which will forever live in my heart.
Soon…
