Nesting

Well, the pre-labor burst of energy has hit. I am trying to clean, cook and freeze, and get organized. I have felt pretty good these last couple of weeks... Last week the doctor said I'm dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced. I know that can last for weeks, but at least it's progress. I'll take it; and hopefully, it's continuing...

My dear friend, Kelli, is throwing me a baby shower on Saturday. That's really the only thing that I'd like to wait for, and then, baby girl, come! I'm really starting to feel ready, ready to meet her, ready to introduce her to Jude, ready for the sleep deprivation...

I wonder what it will be like to share my motherly love. I pray for grace, patience, and for Jude to feel as special, loved and vital to this family as ever.

If she's right on time, then I have about 3 weeks left. But I do hope she comes a little early...
