The waiting game!

I hate to whine about giving birth, but I'm going to anyway!  I'm due in less than five days and I want to be in labor right now!  Is that too much to ask?  Apparently.  So, I'm learning a lesson in patience right now.  In fact, I was reading my scriptures the other day and this was what I read.  

Hebrews 12: 1-2 "...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."  

Therefore, I need to recognize that I am learning a lesson in patience and that if I rely upon the Lord, everything is going to work out.  

Of course I am aware that this pregnancy will come to an end.  I'm just so eager to meet Alex oh and to be able to walk again!  I'm simply ready to move on with the rest of my life.  That is all!  

I think I'll make it!  I know I'll make it!  I'm just being dramatic and impatient.  I can't wait to post photos of our new little guy.  I'm grateful for the miracle of carrying and delivering one of our Heavenly Father's choice spirits.  And I pray that I will do a sufficient job in raising my children to return to eternal life. 

Patience...that is the key right now.  I keep having to learn this lesson!

Hang in there girl. Sleep as much as you can for now. As you will need it later.. You can do this.

I completely understand! If it makes you feel any better I have 5 weeks left till my due date and I already feel like I'm working on my patience! I too would like to walk again--normally and pain free that is! Can't wait to see pictures too! You and Travis certainly make cute children!

good luck in these next few days. It is definitely not an easy thing - being patient. Can't wait to see pictures of this little one. I am not too far behind you and am already starting to feel the same way! :)

I can so relate! With my last two pregnancies I went 5 days PAST my due date! I am just about a week behind you this time around but I am just so grateful to be pregnant that whenever this baby is ready is fine with me!! Really, the whole thing is such a miracle, I know that now more than ever! Can't wait to see pictures of your little guy! Good luck!

I sympathize with the anxiousness ;). I wish you a speedy and pain-free delivery! (And while I'm wishing for the impossible, how about a million dollars and perma-70 degree weather?)

We are thinking of you here in Mexico! I can't wait to see pictures of Alex! Patients is SO HARD I have to learn it over and over.
