Personal: Patience is a Virtue

Today is October 7th!

It's my DUE date. And so far, I'm not due...or even feel like I will be. I am shocked that I'm even writing about it because it wasn't until this week that I've understood all the other mama's out there who talk about their babies 24/7. Patience is SUCH a Virtue--and I feel badly for being so impatient. For SO many women, 40 weeks is simply what pregnancy is...and for many more, it's 40+ weeks. I just never thought I'd be so "lucky"...to have a baby healthily grow in my belly for SO long and my heart goes out to all the mommies who don't make it so far!

The Dr's told me a full-term baby was nearly impossible, most likely not going to work, or to end up scary in the middle. I still can't say I'm in-the-clear because, well, I'm still waiting to hold a healthy little baby. BUT, I have beaten the odds, and shattered all the predictions of the 6 Dr's who've cared for me. Success!!

I can't wait to see his little face and show him the letter I'd written so early on when I was frightened for his well-being. And then kiss his chubby cheeks!

Love you, my little baby.
