Waiting

Tara had a hard time sleeping in this morning. She was up by 5am and is now showered, hair done, make-up done and 'ready to push' as she put it. Now we wait. She got the last anti-contraction medication at 11pm last night. As of 8:20am everything is fairly calm. We just assume that she'll start contracting soon and have a baby in the next day or two. We'll just have to wait and see and trust in the Lord's perfect timing.

As we get impatient we just need to remember that she is only 36 weeks. There is nothing wrong with Emmaline staying put a little longer, but we are ready to meet our little girl. Tara has been patient through 4 weeks of bed rest in the hospital now so a little eagerness to meet Emmaline is due. 

I think that if she isn't contracting before, then she will be by this afternoon. The afternoon is always when things flair up. But we'll just wait and see.
