a peek inside my birthing bag

as i lay in bed with my feet propped up i cannot help but notice that this little babe who is tucked snug beneath my heart is quieter than normal. she must be napping. she seems to be doing a lot of that lately as she really has run out of room, me being filled to the brim. i'm ready to pop. any moment now. and it truly is taking a toll on this here pregnant body of mine, which has been favoring pre-labor contractions for the past week or so.

there have been many moments i have quickly grabbed david's arm with that look on my face and asked him if i should call neva, our midwife. "just wait, just wait," he's said. and so far he's been right.

at almost 40 weeks, we are both soo ready and nowhere near ready. isn't funny how that is? but as we look back on our time with hadley as a newborn we are reminded they don't need much. so when this little babe decides to make her grand entrance, we know all will be well.
