In 34.5 hours my son will be delivered and I'll be holding him and seeing him for the very first time.
Now that it's so close, I wonder if we should just let nature take its course and let labor develop? A planned c-section brings the end of pregnancy into startling focus. Even though I'm feeling big and sore and I want to meet my baby so much, I am also sad that this experience is almost over. Who knows if I will ever experience this again?
It's hard to savor the final moments when you're no longer comfortable. I want to remember this feeling forever, but memories fade.
I am simultaneously leaning forward and holding back. I am in the middle of a 34.5 hour tunnel: part of me wants to run back and part of me wants to run forward. It's crazy like that.
I love the way you describe things! The tunnel analogy is perfect! Blessings on your next few hours, the delivery and the new addition to the family!
If we were there, I would bring you a meal when your family leaves. Too bad you can't send them via the internet....
