The wait....

so...we're still waiting.

this is the longest i've ever been with child and although the due date is not for a couple more days, i'm starting to lose focus.

like when you're coming around the corner on the last leg of the 400 m dash and the finish line is all fuzzy...if you weren't in track and field, you wouldn't understand.

j can't stop laughing - i've tried everything to get this baby motivated to come meet us.

building a snowman with the 9 inches of wet, sticky snow we got on monday?  check.

pushing two kids in a stroller on a 3 mile walk where i actually passed a man who was "jogging?  check.

(he had a look of total shame come over his face when i breezed past him....:(  poor guy)

swinging at the park?  check

receiving an underdog from my dear husband while swinging at the park as a good friend laughed and video taped it?  check

kettle bells?  check

i've come to this conclusion:  the kid wants me to enjoy a few more days with these girls.

(it's either that or he's defying me already....i'm choosing the former)

so, if he won't obey me, i'm choosing to obey him.

fairy gardens...excuse the random picture of sparkle.

don't know how that got in there.....tulip?

snuggles and books

easter treats for the neighbors

egg hunt at church...too much fun!

dying eggs

and bike rides in the parking lot

i got a video, but no picture of miss peach riding without training wheels!
although i'm excited to meet the little mr., i'm glad i didn't miss that monumental moment for her.

ahhhh, the wait.

there is something precious about the last days before something big.

pretty soon the rhythym and routines will change and i'll be needed in new ways and these three petunias will all of the sudden figure out how to do things by themselves that they need help with today.

soon and very soon we'll be holding him.

until then, deep breath and reminders to enjoy the wait.
