Goodnight Moon

Well, my due date has come and gone with no sign of the little one. Oh well. I can have patience; it is just so hard especially when I feel like everyone is watching me like a hawk. And oh the silly questions… “Where’s that baby,” “When are you going to the hospital?” “You haven’t had her yet?!?” It is hard to be patient when everyone around me acts like it’s a crime to not have had the baby yet. Worse yet they act like I actually have some control in the matter and can make her come at will.

Any way, I am enjoying Clay’s and my last days alone together. Although, I must say, the other night we were sitting on the couch watching football and Clay had his hand on my stomach feeling Luralie move around and I could not help but think (as I eyed her crib which is in a space between our living room and kitchen since we have a one bedroom house) that the only thing that could be more perfect was if we were sitting on the couch together holding a crying little girl (I’m not going to even imagine that we were holding a sleeping angel because I am sure it will be the former more often than the latter) lol. I think it is fun that Luralie’s “room” is where it is because my first “room” was between the living room and kitchen at our house in Houston.

I get a little bit sentimental as I go to bed each nigh, thinking that this could be my last restful night in a long while, because I hear that babies don’t sleep much. But as I think these thoughts, I cannot help but smile because I am ready (well as ready as I will ever be I guess) to meet my little girl and learn how to be a family.

Well, that is all I have to say for now. I won’t say that I will keep you (whoever you are) updated because chances are it will be another four months before I blog again. I read a saying on a friends FB status that said:

BLOGGING: Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

It kind of makes me laugh; there is typically 80% truth in most sarcastic remarks. NE ways, even if no one reads this, it is fun for me to go back and read through my old blogs. I know I could just keep a journal, but typing is so much easier.

At any rate…. Goodnight Moon.
