The Human Time Bomb
I am a human time bomb, just waiting to explode into labor. The bad part is that I can't see the countdown, so I have no idea when to expect the blast. That is a stressful feeling. I am walking around, living my daily life, not knowing when I might suddenly go into labor. Should I thaw meat for dinner tonight? Is it safe to go to Target, or will I end up riding to the hospital in an ambulance? Will I be able to pick up Ava from school if I drop her off this morning? If I put a pound cake in to bake, will I still be here 65 minutes later when it's supposed to come out of the oven? Not knowing when labor will begin or how quickly it will progress can be slightly nerve-wracking. I try not to think about it, but my thoughts seem to be constantly aware of (and longing for) impending labor.

Man, do I understand! The last week of my pregnancy, that is all I could think about. Since it was my first pregnancy, I kept wondering if I would know when it was really happening and what it felt like. Such an exciting but nerve racking time!
That's why you should just opt for the pitocin & get it over with!! :) And, if you do that, then go ahead & get the epidural to go along with it. This would definitely be a delivery unlike the other two!!
May God just increase His peace and allow you to rest in the assurance that His timing will be absolutely perfect!! My prayers are with you!
I was just thinking about you yesterday! Glad to get the update on you. hang in there! I'm already incredibly impatient and anxious with this one and I still have about 8 weeks to go!!
