Waiting to Meet Maddie

Well after all the “signs” I have been having the past few days I can’t believe I’m still here at home. Last night I thought for sure that it was happening when I awoke around 2 with a hard contraction. I got up and walked through the house a bit waiting for the next one. The next one hit about 12 minutes later. I thought that it must be happening but with them so far apart still I wanted to try to get some sleep. I knew that if they got stronger and closer together I wouldn’t be able to sleep so I wasn’t concerned about that. They continued most of the night at 10-15 minutes apart, some much harder than others. Maybe if I had gotten up and walked around more it would have happened. I just thought that if it was going to happen it would happen regardless, so I better get some rest while I can. As you can see it didn’t happen. Don’t get me wrong I love being able to have Madison with me 24/7. I know that I will never be able to better care of her anytime like I can now. I just want to see what she looks like and hold her in my arms. I want everyone else who has been waiting for her to get to feel her kick her feet out all over the place. I know that no one has ever been pregnant forever and that I still technically have one day until the ultrasound due date so I just need to be patient and she will come when she is ready. Well Madison, whenever you are ready you have a lot of anxious people out here who can’t wait to meet you!
