40 Weeks...

It's hard for me to believe the 40-week mark (aka, our due date) has now officially come and gone.  At this point my thoughts & emotions are all over the place, and I'm not sure if I'm totally normal, or if I'm losing my mind.  I go from feeling peaceful and content one day- (sleeping soundly, feeling happy and excited), to being riddled with anxiety the next.  (What if something goes wrong?  Are we actually ever going to meet this little guy?)  

This being our first time experiencing the miracle of pregnancy, childbirth, becoming parents, etc., I just don't know what to expect, and there's a level of trepidation that comes along with the unknown.  Now more than ever, I know I need to practice patience, faith, and trust that our son will be here soon, on his own time, happy & healthy and ready to join our family.

It's amazing how the last several months have flown by in the blink of an eye, and now suddenly each day feels like an eternity.  We're just so looking forward to meeting our new bundle of joy.  Please come soon, little one!
