today I am...
trying:: everything I can to have a baby today. Help! Any ideas?
giggling:: still, about my sweet husband letting me sleep this morning as he took care of Aliyah while getting ready... and the couple times she escaped him to let me know she was whispering so as not to wake me.
wondering:: how I ever made it past 40 weeks pregnant! Our little guy must be a very content little fellow.
realizing:: why I feel like I've been pregnant forever... we first found out we were pregnant last January (2009), had a year of ups, downs and ups again, and now waiting for our miracle to arrive.
hoping:: I'll get some time today to dive into a racy thriller starring... ME! A fun little V-day gift from the man I'm madly in love with. That man would be my husband, in case you were wondering.
sharing:: my computer with my daughter for a moment: egyftr32t2w12lke utr525TWUEQRWQ3TGB QYUDUJS FRUEYFRU7T64IRUEYWTD
enjoying:: all the freshness that's been spreading all over my house these past couple of weeks, reminding me of warmer days to come.
letting:: a smile flicker and brighten my face each time I see the flowers and think of him.
wrapping:: up a couple of projects I've been working on, and delighting in the sense of accomplishment.
remembering:: this moment in time, enjoying it, and hoping you are too!
You are an amazing woman and I thank God daily for allowing me the priviledge and honor of you in my life for millions of reasons and each one of them precious to me... I pray that today will be a day of peace knowing that Brayden will be here in God's time and soon very soon;-] Proud of you girl you look amazing as always... Enjoy your day today with that Princess of yours and may I ask what book that is that you have pictured above???
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,

my midwife had recommended castor oil as a desperate measure. a friend recommended fresh pineapples (i tried this and it didn't work, but i really enjoyed eating the sweet fruit) or primrose oil(??). or jumping jacks?? just kidding...well, maybe not ;)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! LOVE the yoga ball picture. It has a sense of humor about it. Your little man just doesn't want to leave the confines of his warm, little home!! Though I would think he's getting crowded in there!!!
ReplyDeletegreat post. posts like these are always so telling of the mood the writer is in. love it.
ReplyDeleteI heard somewhere that pedicures and foot massages would induce labor. I have never tried it myself, and I don't know if it works, but you might have a nice time trying.
ReplyDeleteI've heard...ahem...intimacy might help, if you feel like it that is. Are you gonna do a week 41 maternity series..lol.
ReplyDeleteI love how these types of posts let us delve into the personal details of your life, how you're feeling, and of who you are!
Oh good luck Tabitha. Your little man will be in your arms soon. You'll be smelling newborn and loving him with kisses in moments!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your post - just beautiful.
I hope that it happens soon!
ReplyDeleteWatch the episode of Friends where Rachel tries to have the baby. It might give you a few ideas ;)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! Can't wait to meet your new addition!
WOW! Hang in there...we're all thinking of you and can't wait for "THE" post! Let's see...sitting on exercise ball and moving your pelvis in round circular motions, eating unripe papaya, fresh pineapple, swinging on the swingset, LOTS of walking, S-E-X {if safe}. That's all I can think of for now. But, that said...you're little guy will come in his own time. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm trying your Taboli recipe...how could I resist with your beautiful photo?!
I hope your happy and contented little baby arrives very soon!!!!
ReplyDeletepineapples and pineapple juice, my friend swears by it!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I hope you are enjoying this time. I know it is hard waiting and being patient. (I know it is for me) But, you are getting these special moments to get EVERYTHING ready. :) What a blessing and again Kudos to my man Chris! Devin wants the info so he can create and Indiana Jones adventure. LOL
ReplyDeleteWow! You have a gift girl. That post made me laugh and it made me cry. I'm glad you have this outlet and I feel privileged that you allow us into your private places in such a thoughtful and poetic way. I miss you much.

In my 16 years in the medical field working with OB the only thing that has actually been shown to work was the deed that got you there in the first place! It's the oxytocin that induces labor! Good Luck. I can't wait to see Mr. Little Blue!
ReplyDeleteI love these types of posts you do. I may need to borrow your layout here. :P Workout ball? LOL one of your "Get this baby out of me" workouts. :P
ReplyDeleteLove this post :)
