The wait continues...

And so the wait continues for little miss Mary-Brenna to make her appearance. My due date of October 24th came and went without the addition of a sweet little girl. But hopefully that wait will end soon.

This past week I have been feeling a lot more happening inside, which is great. I am getting nice and uncomfortable, which Mom loves! Walking has become an interesting task, in that I no longer walk, I waddle! Mom has long since past me in the speed department in walking. I have to ask her to slow down when we are out walking around. I think she is really enjoying her new knees. I am looking forward to being able to keep up with her again here soon.

The past couple nights I haven't been able to sleep like I normally am. Contractions keep waking me up. I have to consciously try and relax and breath through them so I can go right back to sleep (well kind of).

I am 11 days over due as of today, and only have until Sunday to have her at the Midwifery (their rules, not mine). If I have her after that then I have to go to the hospital. My midwife seems to be pretty happy with what she is seeing however, and is hoping that either today or tomorrow is the day. If I don't have her sometime tonight, then I get to take Castor Oil tomorrow morning (not looking forward to that) to see if we can encourage things to pick up their pace.

As my friend Joe put it, Mary-Brenna's lease is up and it is time for her to move on out. It is just a matter of finding what is going to persuade her. Pictures of this sweet little girl will come soon. I know I am super excited to meet her (I am just really tired right now).
