The Waiting Game....

Today we are officially less than two weeks from the due date and we are so ready to have this baby! Every night, Jonathan and I sit down for dinner and talk about the day, etc...then eventually, we both look at each other and say, "when is he going to come???" We are so eager to meet this little man who has been growing inside for 9 long months!

We went to the doctor this morning for our weekly appointment - I had a contraction at 5:15 AM that woke me up and then another around 8:00 on the way to the doctor's office. I am about 50 - 60 percent effaced still, and not dialated yet. The doctor says that doesn't really mean too much since this is my first baby and we don't know what my "normal" is. She said it is a good sign that we are having lots of activity and the start of what seem like real contractions.

When Jonathan said, "we'll see you next week," Dr. Gallagher said, "well, I hope not...maybe sooner." So, we will keep hoping that Baby Boy Tinker is ready to meet the world and that he gets moving sooner than later. In the end, we know God's timing is perfect, and I know this is the first of many lessons in patience this little boy will bring!!
