Oh how I wish I had something more interesting to report! Today is the "Big Day", but so far, it appears that Baby Hughes did not get the memo... I have been watching that ticker at the top of the blog page tick down, and now, something is *supposed* to happen! I think the last few weeks of a full-term pregnancy, especially one that goes post-date, must be God's way of preparing mothers for the trials of patience that come with motherhood. The wait seems endless and never-ending! And yet, It scares the daylights out of me that I might become a Mom *this week*! I am alternatively conflicted between being too ready (how many loads of laundry can one do?) and being so nervous and anxious both about the big event itself, as well as, you know, the next at least 18 years!!!
I know we will all settle in, and in another 6 weeks, I'll be so sleep-deprived that I won't be thinking about those 18 years anymore... maybe it will be something like being a surgery intern again - survival mode will kick in. But for now, I just can't wait to see that little face looking up at me and marvel at how this child - our child - grew inside of me. And really folks, is it a boy or a girl??? I want to know just as much as you do!!!
We'll keep you posted!
