Happy Due Date little man.
I don't think you're going to show up today, or tomorrow, or the next day but we've got an induction date planned and you better believe from now until then I'm doing all the things to try to get you earthside.

I can't believe that we will be seeing your sweet face so soon. I can't wait to see who you look like, if you have hair, what color your eyes are, ALL THE THINGS.

In the meantime if you could lay off my bladder during the night that would be magical.

Also, so sorry for overloading you with sugar this morning. Your mom just needed a win ok?

I don't think people really talk about this part.

I don't think people really talk about this part. The day before your due date and your unborn child is still snuggled up and seemingly not ready to come out.

The uncomfortable stage you're at in your body and mind and how tears can form at the drop of a hat. Sleep is uncomfortable, sitting hurts, you're peeing every 15 minutes, you're constantly hungry but nothing sounds good, you feel like you've been kicked in the crotch every time you stand up and start walking.

Plus the emotions of the unknown of labor and delivery of this new human (if this is your first child) and the fear of being able to take care of them well. People encourage you that you're capable and can do it; but you can't help but hear the whispers of insecurity creep in.

Add on a global pandemic where you're trying to quarantine before your baby arrives to limit your exposure to have the virus while delivering. You feel lonely, bored, stir crazy, and isolated.

That's where I'm at today. I started off in an emotionally positive place this morning and then the rain started falling outside this afternoon, I was reading information (again) on how to take care of a newborn, and I just kind of started crying.

So just know that while I'm excited to meet our son so soon; I'm also scared and overwhelmed and missing people and places and I think that's ok to say.

There is no one in this world I would rather do life with than with you.

You have this incredible ability to make heavy seasons feel weightless. Thank you for loving me well and I can not wait for you to hold our son. You're going to be an incredible father.

I love you @mountain_ed

Don't mind me, I'm just over here bouncing on my yoga ball and looking up foods that induce labor 😅

No but really, I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow and I'm FEELING IT.

Also I got our maternity photos back today (yay!) So I'll be posting them often because I 🖤 them.

So here is me at 33.5 weeks pregnant. 😍

I wanted to share an excerpt from today's devotion

I wanted to share an excerpt from today's devotional by @pauldavidtripp because it hit home in the best possible way and maybe you need to read it too.

🖤

"He really is the 'Father of mercies and God of all comfort' (2 Cor. 1:3).
He can do for you what no one else can do.
He has power that no one else possesses.
He is able and willing to meet you in your moments of need, even when that need is self-inflicted.
He will never mock you in your weakness.
He will not stand idly by and say, 'I told you so'.
He finds no joy in your suffering.
He is full of compassion.
He abounds in mercy.
He will never walk away disgusted.
He will never use your weaknesss against you.
He has no favorites and shows no partiality.
He never grows tired.
He never becomes impatient.
He will never quit because he's had enough.
He will never refuse to give you what He's promised because you've messed up so badly.
He is just as faithful to all of his promises on your very worst day as he is on your very best day.
He doesn't ask you to earn his compassion or to do things to gain His mercy.
He knows how fickle your heart is, yet He continues to move toward you with unrelenting and empowering grace.
He delights in meeting your needs.
He finds joy in bringing peace to your heart.
He really is everything you need.
Why would you run anywhere else in your time of weakness and trouble?"

Ahhh the weather in Charleston today is actually a little cooler, which is a breath of fresh air. I went and walked the cul-de-sac twice already today and didn't melt like a popsicle, so that was refreshing.

I'm trying to get this baby boy MOVING as I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty uncomfortable. I'm eating dates, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on my yoga ball, and trying to get in some steps. WHEW.

Eddie & I have also been soaking in our last "just us" nights and watching ALL the Marvel tv shows on Disney+ and it's been so nice to finally catchup.
