I am 38 weeks today according to my due date of April 30th. So that means he can come at any dang time he wants! :) Which kind of makes me nervous and anxious because he can come anytime, anywhere...im afraid that my water will break at church or when im out and about. And I don't want to wake up to painful contractions but I guess that is just the way it goes with a baby. I keep going back and forth between being excited for the labor/birth and being scared. I think to myself women go through this every single day and some women choose to have multiple babies...so I should be okay. And then I think OH MY GOSH, I have to push this big ol baby out of this little tiny hole. So crazy how God made the human body to work.
All I know is that I want to not focus on myself when im in labor. I am taking my ipod and listening to worship so I can get in the zone! In our lamaze class the RN told us that we should have a "happy place" made up in our mind so we can focus on that instead of the pain. I kept trying to think of what my "happy place" is and my first thought is well, I like the beach...but thats lame to make up a fake place that makes me happy. And I thought, well the place I really like to be is in God's presence. What better avenue to get in God's presence but through worship music. I love getting into worship so I am believing that I will be able to get my mind off the pain (essentially off of myself) so that Micah can come into this world with God's presence in the room.
I know everything is going to be fine, its just crazy to think that I am going to be the momma and shelden is going to be the daddy! so fun but crazy! :) its kinda wierd being all grown up now ;)
wooo whooo baby Micah is on his way!!! come little baby...come!
