No Baby Blues

Well, it is Saturday AND I'm not at the hospital. I was really optimistic last night that stripping my membranes would be a success story for me. I was sure that today would be the day because I was having contractions almost 7-10 mintutes apart last night. Some where even painful. I figured they'd just keep going, but then they slowed way down to only a couple every hour. We walked and walked and even ate spicy food to help things along.

I'm bummed. I can't help it. I even tried to keep myself rational by making plans for today, just in case. I'm so ready to have my baby boy. I want to love on him and take care of him. I can't wait to meet him. I guess he just isn't ready yet. More and more, everyday I'm realizing that I was born to do this; to be a mother.

I'm trying so hard to be patient. I keep telling myself it just isn't time yet. He'll come when he is ready. Waiting is so hard.

Kyle fixed me french toast this morning. I think I'm taking too much comfort in food. Probably not a good thing ;) Well...I'm going to go be patient now and try to take my mind off being disappointed.
