Ever find yourself waiting for something...anticipating something? Maybe it's a job, or a promotion. Maybe a call from the doctor with test results. Perhaps it's a marriage proposal you are anticipating, or maybe, just maybe, you are awaiting GOING INTO LABOR.
Whatever kind of waiting place you are in...what does it feel like?? Are you growing impatient? Are you getting frustrated? Are you feeling like you just want it to be HERE...and you just want to KNOW...and you just want it to HAPPEN ALREADY!!?
Does your waiting place feel negative?
Is it discouraging? Are you frustrated? Tense?
What is this place that you are in? What have you CREATED for yourself?
HOW DO YOU FLEE FROM THE NEGATIVITY?
Try this: Say something positive to yourself.
Do it.
Find something in this waiting place that is good.
There is plenty of good.
Find it and relish in it. Let it surround you. Feel it.
Create a positive place and wait there. You might as well.
It feels way better. I promise.

Lovely thoughts in this post.
Love you!
Great attitude. I was 2 weeks 'over due' with Ellis, and I was fine with it. The night before I went into labor, I told my husband, "Ok, I'm over it. If something doesn't happen tonight, I'll start to be frustrated." Then I took a hot bath with a glass of syrah. (GASP!) 12 hours later? Onset of labor. SOMEONE has perfect timing...:)
Great attitude! Towards the end it's hard to be patient. You want to see that little face... and you want to not be pregnant anymore. I think there was a master plan in that!
I threw a Halloween baby shower on Friday - it was lots of fun! Come on over to my main blog and check out the pictures - you look a lot like our "pregnant none"!

I love your positive attitude, sister. I am so happy for you and loved spending time with you last Friday. Thanks for the coffee and lunch dates. Much Love, Amy
Even if you want it over, savor it. Remember it. In a few years, you'll struggle to remember what "the quickening" felt like, how rich and powerful your body was, etc.
I'm so glad you're blogging it!
