39 Weeks

Waiting. We didn't have to do this with Tate. He was one week early and we were n0t ready for him. I still had an unfinished client project, Dave was still building his custom furniture, and his clothes and cute little baby things were unwashed with the tags still on. And suddenly I was in labor, yelling "Oh shit!!" We needed more time.

Well, this time here we sit, one week before her due date and all client work has been finished for 3 days, her bassinet and dresser with clean, untagged clothes in it has been set up for 2 weeks, the house is clean (thanks to yesterday's crazed cleaning jag), dinners are waiting in the freezer, and bags are packed. And we wait.

But I am relaxed and unstressed and even made cookies today! I think I like waiting rather than running through the house yelling "Oh shit!!"
