Waiting Is Hard

Quinn, I can't believe you are not here yet! I thought for sure you were coming early. Nearly everyone in my entire family did, too. After our evening in Labor and Delivery during our 30th week, along with the fact that both Daddy and I were born a couple of weeks early, I assumed you would follow suit. Well, we were all wrong. I am now 39.5 weeks along. Your due date is Sunday. I hope this is a sign that you will be a more patient person that your mommy is. Maybe this means you will take your time and be more laid back than I am. Time will tell.

As I have been waiting for you, I have been nesting. I have been cleaning the house like crazy and have done some planting, both inside and out. It has felt good to plant flowers. It reminds me that it is spring and new life is everywhere.

 

I chose some bright yellow and orange marigolds for our patio. You are going to be such a bright spot in our lives, so I thought these colors were fitting.

 

I also planted some violas and marigolds by the fish pond. Klemmy decided that she wanted to stand in front of some of the flowers for the picture. It was hard work to plant! I put a variety of flowers in the ground all over the yard. I hoped that gardening would put me in to labor, but nope, it didn't work.

 

Since I plan on snuggling with you in our living room when we bring you home, I thought we needed some blooms indoors, too. Here are some flowers on the antique fireplace. They liven up the room, just as I know you will when you finally come. I am in suspense and wonder when it will finally happen! I can't wait to see your face and to hold you.
