So a week ago, my OB (one of them) said that we should pack our camera and a bag now due to the fact I was 3 cm dilated, 80-90% effaced and the baby was at -1 station. Translation: get ready. But, that was a week ago (maybe I could be "here" a while?). I am fine with waiting as I still have major things to wrap up at work, there is precious little time left to savor Camille as an only child (sniff sniff!), and little time left to savor my last pregnancy. Oh, and there is this minor thing about us being in the midst of moving. That status is that we are under contract but we need to find renters in order to actually get the house, which we've been told will not be difficult but until we actually have a signed rental agreement, we won't be celebrating. My patience has grown over the years but even this time in life is putting my mindfulness skills to the test.
But...these sweet smiling faces allow for breathing easy and being grateful for so much right now. This was taken at a brunch we went to with Eric's Dad and Jan a few weeks ago, when they kindly came to visit us. When the time came to pay the bill, Camille said, "I will give it to him (the $) and he will say 'thank you' and I will say you're welcome." Well, good to know manners are somehow sinking in, even if a bedtime routine isn't.
Awww, love that pic! Thinking good, calming, thoughts for all of you. hugs!
