Day 3 Overdue

I thought for sure that I was going to have a baby last night. I was having good consistent contractions but they blew over at bedtime. I slept so good, possibly from all the work my body had been doing, possibly because God just likes me. I have to admit I was quite disappointed to wake up and find I had slept so well and not awakened earlier with strong, painful, encouraging labor developing.

I had my morning devotions and then finding everyone else still asleep I went back to bed for an hour. That was nice too. I got a little discouraged and emotional this morning in the waiting and woes of being still pregnant, but found my faithful Comforter still ready to boost my mood and clarify my position. He is a very powerful God.

I just put Ivan down for his nap and without a whimper he laid himself down in his bed. That is so refreshing. Owen is content to play with his train tracks for a little longer but I’m sure will have to cry a little when I break the bad news of nap time to him. He has been a good “napper” but will always insist that it’s not what he wants or needs. Sometimes it is simply what I need.

So…no news and no pictures and no new contractions as of yet, but I will be happy to accept labor and delivery at any time.

  1. He has been a good “napper” but will always insist that it’s not what he wants or needs. Sometimes it is simply what I need.

    I Totally understand. I mourn the fact that my kids will not nap anylonger- even Lael. I could use a nap right now, in fact.

  2. Well…I’ve just caught up on your week and am surprised that I’ve not missed anything yet. I kept my phone with me all day and expected it to be you whenever it would ring. It’s a little difficult for me to pray that you wait until Monday afternoon but I don’t pray that way for you. Keep as busy as possible. God’s timing is perfect.

    Love you!

  3. Ha ha! Said that wrong. It’s a little difficult NOT to pray that you wait until Monday afternoon…don’t worry I’m not.
