Maybe

Well, yesterday (which was just 5 hours ago) was my due date and nothing looked imminent on the newWei front. The OB found the baby in a transverse (sideways) position AGAIN on Monday, for the second week in a row, and there'd been no change in anything to show the baby was ready to come. So the doc pushed Baby head down again to see if he/she would stay this time, and as of last night I was sure he/she was not thanks to the double mountainous shape of my belly instead of the nice cone shape I took after the appointment. But all night I've been having some pretty good contractions, so we'll see if this could be it. I figure if I'm not sleeping I might as well sit at my computer! So here's a poem. Like many sentimental things lately, it made me teary the first time I read it. Maybe at least my preggers friend SHB will appreciate it. :)It was not credited when I found it on the walls of my OB so, sorry out there to whoever wrote this.

These Last Few Hours
It is important to me
that I spend a part
of the next few hours here
alone with you in the darkness

You and I
will never be this close again.
By morning
you will be a tiny person
all your own

No longer the kicking, demanding
bulge in my body
that I have grown to love so well

I pray that God will safely guide
you on your journey tonight
and I ask Him for the strength
to help you all I can

Again, you signal
your impatience to be free

Time to wake up your daddy.
