today is baby girl's due date day. oct 27. i remember june 21, 2009 (sam's due date day) and feeling pretty desolated when the day came and went and still being pregnant at the end of it. thankfully today has been different.
if i am being honest - today was difficult but mainly because samantha jean had a particularly rough day. i am feeling some extra pressure to make every day great - with the knowledge that it could be the last day sam and i spend just the two of us. this pressure seems silly when i give voice to it, and i realize it is affecting my expectations. tomorrow i hope to begin with a different set of hopes.
tim was my hero today. he prayed for me in the morning. came home when i was at my wits end with sam. helped clean the house so i could take a walk. brought me flowers. got take and bake pizza for us to enjoy with Jacob. and ultimately remained calm, loving and consistent when the ladies in his life were in less excellent form.
i do end today wondering when the baby will come. i do hope it is soon. my body and the medical experts are telling me it could/should be any day. the great benefit of the baby not coming today and maybe waiting until after saturday is Danielle will be back from her fun times in Florida. i would love to have her with us when the baby is born.
ultimately i do know the deep peace i am experiencing as we wait is an answer to prayer. i feel covered, surrounded by prayer and for this i am inexpressibly thankful. thank you for praying and for waiting with us.
when baby girl arrives we will try to be prompt in sharing the news!!
