Three More Months

... hopefully!


So it's September 14th and my due date is December 14th thus I am officially in my third trimester!!!! 


And well... lets be honest, I have my hopes up. 
I have them up for an early/on time delivery! I mean I'm willing to wait, I did it for Bennett and I'll do it every time after this (if there are any more) but I'm not gonna lie, having a baby in December doesn't thrill me. Especially in a December where Hanukkah and Christmas over lap! I love our Hanukkah traditions and I'm realizing we can't plan a thing or invite anyone over because we have no clue what that time will hold for us! And then when I think about missing our Christmas traditions because I'm in labor or sitting in a hospital room recovering ... well, I get more than a little sad! Or even worse... listening to people say "You're STILL pregnant" while participating in all the traditions (both Hanukkah and Christmas) would be the worst of all!!!! 


So all that whining above is to say... please pray for this baby to come at the time the Lord wants it to come and in the manner He wants it to come (naturally or c-section) and please pray for my body and mind and spirit to be gracious towards when and how this baby comes no matter what day it is. Pray that selfishness would not reign in me (I realize that's the problem here, but still, I want MY traditions). Pray that I will be brave and peaceful when talking with my doctors who seem so bent on robbing me of the birth I so desire for this sweet child I'm carrying. And last but certainly not least, pray that I would be kind and loving and gracious towards the "your still pregnant?!" and "you're so big" comments because they have already started and well... just pray, for me to keep my mouth shut! ha ha! :)  


And now, a belly recap of the first two trimesters ... let's be honest, that's the only reason you checked this post! :)
