Today’s the day.

Today’s the day.

D Day.

Supposed Delivery Day.

I have walked stairs, I have done some other things that you need not concern yourself with imagining, I’m sipping red raspberry tea and my midwife says I could go into labor at any time. That could mean tonight or that could mean a week from now. I just need to be patient.

Anyone who knows me at all can attest to my lack of patience. It must have something to do with being the first born but regardless I am not good at waiting.

My body is showing signs of getting ready and I’m hoping that a brisk walk with my mom, out in the fresh air will help progress things into action. I’ll keep you posted.

It has been so nice having my mom here. I miss her more than I realize until I am sitting across the dinner table from her and I am just so happy to see her, here, close enough that I can wrap my arms around her. She’s been helping me cope with the house and the kids and food preparation. My three most favorite things to be taking care of when I feel like I have a grapefruit stuck between my legs.

Mom and I have walked with the kids to the park and we’ve gone video shopping but other than that we’ve mostly stayed home and enjoyed each others company. It’s nice to laugh with my mom. We have so much fun together that I’m half tempted to keep my legs crossed just to keep her here longer. I couldn’t do that to my siblings waiting at home who call every day to talk to mom.

Haha, she’s here with me, neener neener.

In other news, here’s some photos from today.

Jason is doing his math work outside in the sun. There was a lot of action going on in the backyard and he didn’t want to miss it.

This is what was going on. They were grading our backyard which involved this Mighty Machine as well as three bobcats and two big dump trucks. Who knew construction could be so fascinating? Mom and I stood out on the deck and watched them almost all day.
