It appears that my husband got teased for no good reason today after worship… because there on my pillow this evening lay a card with very mushy words about being a wife and mother, and now I heart the man to even smaller bits. The man, he pays attention to the calendar after all.
I was just commenting to my MIL this morning how poetic it’d be to become a mother today, and voila! YogaMate surprised us all – and mostly herself – by becoming a Mommy on Mother’s Day to a beautiful baby girl. See, to time it so beautifully is just showing off now. I’m terribly happy for her, but I guess that means coffee after yoga this Saturday’s no longer on the cards. :)
It just goes to show that babies really will come when they are ready. NewFromMattel had hers start to come practically the moment she turned her Out of Office assistant on, and now YogaMate’s 3+ weeks early. On the other hand, there’s the 2-weeks-overdue wait for SmallFry… and that’s another kind of surprise, I suppose.
This motherhood gig is tough for control freaks, no?
I have no idea when the day of this birth will be. I think I look huge now, but really I’m still quite mobile compared to others as far along as I am. So maybe she’ll be on-time/slightly late. Or maybe I haven’t a clue. I’m planning to take 3 weeks off before my due date, and am hoping in that time to get the nursery truly in order… but who knows, eh? She might have other plans.
She might turn out to be a he, after all.
She might come super early. In the office. What a nightmare.
She might be right on time.
She might come super late.
She might come with a cleft lip
She might come with mental complications.
She might come OK.
I just hope I’m ready.

Hey, there’s nothing wrong with a cleft lip … ;-)
Raymond wouldn’t give me anything on Mother’s Day when I was pregnant with Poss .. he said it was Incubator’s Day instead!!
Hugs to you as you come to terms with the fact that you have NO control over when Blobette will come along … unless you plan to cut her out!! :-) But God knows what is best … let’s leave it up to Him.

>> Hey, there’s nothing wrong with a cleft lip …
True! And you’re a loving, living testament of that. Was trying to think of something that had to do with outward appearance, that also had to deal with having an operation. And I think I had a dream about cleft lips.
I’m getting excited as the day draws near (50 days left!) Just lots to wrap my head around.
