Ready or not… but I think I’m ready.

I’m starting to get bored.

I’ve been blessed to be able to stay at home over the past few months. I officially stopped working about a month ago, which actually gave me a lot more time in my day. I would be gone for about 3 1/2 hours, usually, which is a big chunk out of the middle of the day and gave me some structure.

So far, this past month, I’ve been able to keep pretty busy. I’ve enjoyed relaxing, but I feel guilty unless I am somewhat productive. And the only reason I could enjoy the past few weeks is because I know it’s a very short season!

I know I should enjoy every restful moment, but I think I’m done. I do my daily cleaning, I cook dinner, I work on my little to-do list, but I am ready for the purposefulness of being a stay-at-home mom.

And beyond that, I am so ready to be done being pregnant, and to meet my baby! Labor is a small price to pay.

I remember awaiting the birth of my firstborn, nearly 20 years ago.
She arrived 3 weeks early and surprised my husband and me. I had just quit my job, thinking I would have another 3 weeks to prepare things at home, but things turned out a bit differently than we were expecting, and instead of 3 weeks to prepare, I had about 3 days.
My daughter will turn 20 years old in April, but I still remember feeling the way you do, awaiting her birth, as if it were yesterday. I know you will enjoy being a stay-at-home Mom, I have been at home with both of my girls for the last 18 years and am thankful I was able to be home with them.

I’m still praying it happens soon so you won’t have to be induced! I can imagine why you’d be anxious – I would be ready to meet my baby too!
I had a patient today who looked like the pictures I’ve seen of you, and she was pregnant. It made me think about you. *smile*

Oh wow. I just got eye surgery and had to not work for two weeks and I was going CRAZY by the end of it so I can not imagine how it must be waiting for a baby!
I am praying for you and the sweet little one you are carrying inside you especially that you will not have to be induced!
Blessings :)

Getting so excited for you, girl! It will happen, you will not be pregnant forever (yippie!) still praying it happens sooner rather than later! Walk, walk, walk!

Hi! I found you via LeAnna – hearing you were ready to have your first baby perked my interest having just had my first 3 weeks ago today!

This post could have been posted by me a couple months ago! You sound just like me! ;)

Anyhow, thought I’d stop by, say hi and wish you well!
