38 weeks, 2 Days

This number means a lot to me. This is when my water broke with Maeve. I gave birth to her early the next morning. With Cara, I started having contractions at 8:00 in the morning- the morning of 38 weeks, 2 days. I gave birth to her in the evening. So today I am 38 weeks, 1 day. You can imagine my anticipation and excitement for tomorrow. Not that I think there is going to be some magical moment tomorrow that will set me into labor just like the girls. I know that every pregnancy is different, etc. But I am excited for tomorrow nonetheless. If it doesn't happen tomorrow, I am still holding onto the belief that I am going to give birth on Easter Sunday (since that has been my prediction all along). Now, if for some reason I don't give birth tomorrow or on Easter, then I am fully prepared to have a mental breakdown, lol. I won't know what to do with myself! It will be the longest I have ever been pregnant with all of my children. And it will make me realize even more that the child inside of me is the one who will be teaching me patience. So, as tomorrow rolls around, think about me- I will be home scrutinizing every little pang and twinge. And if I don't remember to let you all know, Have a wonderful Easter with your family!
