(These are my Private journals from my 1st pregnancy)
It's week 41, and I can hardly hold back the tears. He's never coming out!
I was convinced I would have my baby early, well before the due date. So when my due date came and went, I was so frustrated. I couldn't believe it! I was in shock, but more than that, I was so overly ready that I didn't have much to do in those last two weeks except wait and wait and wait.
Each minute of each day, all I do is think about this baby coming. I was so used to making goals for myself and then setting out to achieve them, one by one. This was a goal also, in a way, but one that I didn't have as much control over.
As I made my video journal on my due date, I commented about how I was supposed to have had my baby by now. Then, when I did the video a week later, I actually just burst into tears—hardly able to comprehend why I hadn’t given birth already!
Dear Lord, will I ever meet my baby??

BABY is still not here!! What should I do??
(These are my Private journals from my 1st pregnancy)
I kept my calendar open this week for the baby to come. My due date was on Monday and now it's Friday. Still there's no sign of the baby.
What's going on? I feel like I'm going to be pregnant FOREVER.
He was supposed to be here on the twenty-fifth of July or sooner, according to the doctors. I keep walking on the trails behind my house, trying to help this baby along. I tried some completely safe natural remedies that people swear by, like eating spicy foods, but all that did was make my tummy upset!
I called Betty, my massage lady, to come over and try to help this baby along, too, but that didn't work either. It did make me relax though, and she assured me that the baby would be here in God's time, not ours. I know she's right. Every pregnancy is different, every labor is different and every birth is different. God knows what He is doing.

Will My Baby Come early?? Did yours??
(These are my Private journals from my 1st pregnancy)
My doctor said the baby might come early, so I thought this was the week. My work schedule has lightened up a bit and, just in case, I warned my clients that I may have to cancel their fitness session if I went into labor.
Of course they all understood. Everywhere I go, people ask when my baby is coming, and I tell them, "Hopefully, today!" Then they congratulate me and wish me luck. Every day I talk to the baby and encourage him, "Come out and meet the world. Mommy is ready for you!"
But it hasn't happened yet. God is teaching me patience. I went to get my new driver's license and had to wait more than two hours, so I left and came back and then discovered I'd missed my number.
So I sat there another hour and finally got my picture taken. What a pain. At least when I look at my photo, I know I'm not alone in it.
We also had our neighborhood barbeque this week. We're blessed to have such great friends. We all watch out for each other, and we get together a couple times a year. The cookout was a lot of fun. They even bought me a cake with a stork on it. They are so thoughtful.

High Risk Pregnancy Because of Age??
(These are my Private journals from my 1st pregnancy)
They finished our new hardwood floors, and they’re beautiful. Yea! My husband can be very convincing at times. I never saw people work so hard and so fast. It was just like the remodel of our basement.
Dan called the crew every day to make sure they showed up and did what they were supposed to do.
And you know what? I’m so glad we did it.
Once all the dust and fumes were cleared out and I got the place all cleaned up, it looked fantastic. I know it will be a lot healthier for my allergies and for the new baby.
This week was also my thirty-fifth birthday. I can’t believe I’m 35..which makes me “high-risk”. I hate that term!!
I remember that when I was a teen, the summers never seemed to end. It feels kind of like that with this pregnancy—like it’s been forever.
And yet, I have only three weeks to go!!! (Unless the baby comes early!!!!!)

Did you Remodel While Pregnant??
(These are my private Journals from my 1st pregnancy).
I'm already enjoying the gifts from my baby shower last week. It was so much fun sorting through all the adorable clothes and putting them away in the baby's dresser.
It's been so hot lately, more than 100 degrees. I went and got a great little baby pool to cope with the heat. One of my favorite things to do is sit in the cool water and just relax. So here I am, 35 weeks pregnant, in a swimsuit, in my new little baby pool in the backyard—my poor neighbors! I sure wish I had a picture of that.
This week is Father's Day, and Dan announced he's proceeding with the rest of the remodel plans. What on earth is he thinking? Oh boy!
Dear Lord,
Please let this week be a good week. Help me not to worry about the little stuff but to be grateful that my husband wants to better the house for me and my baby. Please let this remodel go quickly and smoothly. And help them finish before the baby arrives.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

The Best Baby Shower Ever!!!
(These are my private journals from my 1st pregnancy.)
My friend Claire threw me a baby shower Hawaiian style. It was the best ever!! Everything had a tropical theme, from the napkins and plates right down to the slipper mat at the front door. Everyone wore pink and white plumeria leis. Claire created a gorgeous tropical fruit salad and a smorgasbord of other Hawaiian treats. She really went overboard. I felt so special. I received the most beautiful gifts, even a homemade baby quilt. My parents sent adorable baby outfits for me to open at the shower. Of course I cried. I wish they could have been here.
After it was over, we loaded up my Nissan and—wouldn’t you know it—everything wouldn’t fit inside. It was hilarious! My neighbor had to transport some of the gifts home for me. This was an extra special day for me. I feel so blessed that my friends would go to this much thought and effort for me and my baby. This baby is getting more and more real to me, especially looking at the clothes he will wear and the baby gear he’ll use. This baby will certainly be loved . . . by a lot of people!
