Last night was worse - up more and more uncomfortable. But, still nothing to call in about. It made me really start thinking about having this baby, though, and especially after reading Dooce's birth story.
Went to Kirsten's today to let the boys hang out and have a labor pep talk of sorts. I needed it. And it helped so much, along w/ that awesome foot rub I got. ; )
I'm so visual. We were talking about exactly what the baby does when he comes out. It is amazing how it is designed. She found a simulation video online. I watched it technically at first, and the next few times in awe. If I hadn't been trying to keep a little bit cool, I would have been a complete slobbery mess.
I welled up seeing that baby make its way, and thought...THAT is going to be MY baby. MY BABY!? I still can't believe God has given us this gift. I still can't. I am completely overwhelmed with gratefulness.
Enough chatter about being scared and the pain.
What a gift...what a honor to be a mommy for another time...what a pleasure and a blessing. God made this infertile 40 year old, a mommy again and a story of His amazing power and love.
I can't wait to meet you, little baby boy, to see your little face.
And only 8 more days.
Thank you, Lord, for another day.

I am thankful for each day I get to carry this little bean sprout inside me.
Lord, you revealed it to me and made a miracle.
I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for this day and every one to come.

This so reminds me of Brooklyn's birth...talking about how they come out. She was face-up...which was actually good, cuz otherwise she would have been born on our bathroom floor or in the car on the way to the hospital:) Being face-up slowed her down and made me push for a LONG time, but the alternative wouldn't have been too great:)
Anyway, when I pushed, she would try to flip over to being face down instead of actually coming down in the birth canal. The midwife kept trying to help her flip.
At one point, I could feel Brooklyn flip over and then flip back again...so bizarre.
Finally, she got herself face-down and voila! Out she came:)
Simply amazing.
