Beauty in the Waiting.
I am patiently waiting for the arrival of our little girl!
Being patient is difficult, especially when you're unsure of the timing of what you're waiting for. But I am being reminded about the beauty of the waiting, the thrill of knowing that something wonderful is coming and the peace you can find when you trust in the perfect timing.
My son was "late" when he was born, but I learned then that there is no late for babies. They come at exactly the right time! Of course, trusting that the timing will be perfect doesn't mean that I don't sit and wonder when little girl will be here or how it will all work out, but I have a peace about all of it!
What about you, is it hard for you to be patient?
Blessings!
What a coincidence, my wife is also pregnant with a daughter! Coming in March 2018. And we also have a 2.5 year old son (who was also about 11 days late). She's in third trimester now and ready to be done. Me, personally, I am anxious and nervous about how much busier it's going to be. We don't have much help from family (my parents are too old and her parents live far away) so we're mostly on our own.
For now, we are making the most of our time one-on-one with our son. He's such a awesome little dude.
Thanks for your great post.
That is a coincidence! Your kids will be almost the exact same age difference as mine! :)
I understand being done in the third trimester, but I tried to savor it this time, especially since it is possible is was my last pregnancy. I also understand being anxious about the business! It was a little hectic at first, but now, two months later, we've fallen into a pretty good pattern. Little dude was pretty sick this week, so tending to him with a newborn was kind of a challenge, but we made it through! I am learning that about parenting; just keep going and you make it through! :)
I hope for you guys that you're not overwhelmed not having help. I have to admit that I had a ton of help this time. My parents, my siblings, my grandma, my aunt, etc. It has been a blessing for us and I'm sorry you don't have that! I would love to hear how you guys weather it! :)
Yes, yes! Take the time with your son before he's a big brother. He will do so much better with the adjustment for it! Also, because I regret not doing it, take a pic of big brother kissing mama's big belly! :)
Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you so much for the reminder to take that picture. We've done maternity photos with another professional photographer, but because our son wasn't cooperating, we weren't able to get that shot. We're going to try again ourselves!
The saying "it takes a village" is so true... we're hoping that a neighbor or two can lend a hand to us. Any bit of a break is sooooo valuable! Our date nights with just the two of us are few and far between, but when we get them, it's golden.
Haha, I totally get the date night thing! We
haven't had one yet with baby girl here, but I'm sure it will be great when we do. 😂

That was so thoughtful of you, @opheliafu! ❤
Blessings to you, as well!
Lovely post ... be patient my dear for sooner than you think you will be thinking how fast they grew up :)
Absolutely! It goes so fast!
Congratulations! I, too, have little patience for waiting. Why does the universe not proceed at my schedule?
Best wishes. I enjoy your posts.
Thanks so much!
respect!!! your thinking....
Thanks!
Beautiful! Beautiful post!
Thank you!
I can't wait! Yes, it's hard for me to be patient! lol!
She will be so sweet! ❤
After having had 2 of my own, I find this meme very apt:
lol
Waiting is so tough, especially when you don't really know exactly when the waiting will be over. And, as fast as time goes with one child, it goes exponentially faster with a second... so even though this waiting period feels like it's FOR-EV-AR, soon you'll feel like you blinked, and a year has passed.
Sending you lots of positive vibes, and excited for you to welcome your baby girl topside, whenever she decides she's ready to make her grande entrance. 😊
That meme is so true! Haha!
Yes, the time does go by so quickly. It goes by way too fast when you want it to go slowly, and it goes by slowly when you want it to go by quickly! Lol.
Thank you so much! I am counting on her timing being perfect! 😊
I hope you're enjoying this time. I can see your excitement for your baby. All the very best dear @uglysweater and steemit is a family. I am also waiting to see her. Please introduce her to this family. I wish your baby will be healthy and superfine.
Thank you so much! 😁
Welcome dear
