Wow, I am 38 weeks today! I can't believe how close I am to meeting this little one! My days have been mighty slow as I await his arrival, not knowing exactly when he will come. I am trying my hardest to relax, take it easy and enjoy these last couple of days/weeks with the Hub, doing fun things. I am doing some more reading on labor, mostly personal birth stories, which help me see the truly unique nature that is birth. I am just hoping I can surrender myself to this whole experience and I am trying to reach deep within myself to find my inherent power & strength (that all women have) that will assist me with accepting the labor pain as an intrinsic part of welcoming my son into this world. The pain is good & it is needed. So I welcome these long days as preparation for my body, heart and soul. When he is ready, I will be ready (as much as I possibly can). I can't stop dreaming about how he will feel in my arms-wow!!
