The Waiting Game

Well, it's Friday and I still have not had this baby. And unfortunately, I am not going to get any immediate relief from my current state either. Apparently, July is a very bad month to have a baby. The hospital is, again, all booked up and way behind as it is, so when am I scheduled? Wednesday at 6 am with a 5 am call in time. That means I have to be all ready to go by 5 but there is still a 50/50 chance I won't get to go in. Let's hope this baby decides to come on his own soon. I doubt I have that much luck, but it's worth a shot! Now is the painstaking time all pregnant women go through, waiting for signs of the coming child. Bad thing for me is I can't do a lot to distract myself. Oh, what I wouldn't give to be able to go shopping or see a movie, just something to get my mind off of it. Erica was nice enough to bring Parker out yesterday so I could watch him while she napped. That helped, but I realize she can't come out everyday. Things might even be better if I could eat my usually comforting foods, but that dang heartburn is keeping me on cold cereal, sandwiches, and slim fasts. Not exactly the food you go running to in a time of emotional need. Wow, that was quite whiny. Sorry, I am venting, which is just a nice way of saying I am complaining. Well it is now quite well documented how miserable I am feeling so I shouldn't need to commit to permanent existence any more complaints, I hope!
