Little Miss Muffet

Officially, I am on maternity leave. After a couple of months of lengthy to-do lists and an overwhelming push to fit in as many photography clients as possible, I am free to just sit back and give birth. Last night following a couple of hours of inconsistent contractions, Mister Man found himself once again in a crazy painful place and I was hurting very badly. On the surface I was being as tough as possible (for Josh), but really my mind was racing. I think it is funny, but true that all pregnant women --no matter how uncomfortable these last couple of days can be-- at the reality of labor beginning start to freak out mentally. The thought is something along the lines of, "Are you serious? This is happening now?!?" 
My doctor's office postponed my c-section and I was very bummed about it. All that planning for nothing. My disappointment lasted a short while (read: a phone call of venting to my mom). And then I remembered I am about to have a newborn. Planning for nothing is about to be my mantra. My schedule is about to not be my own, so it might as well start now.

I do feel a little strange without a list of things to accomplish. Kinda like Little Miss Muffet just waiting...

Thanks to G'ma Janet for these pictures. Hudson loved his evening
with Papa Bear and G'ma.

You look so great! The last few weeks are rough, but you'll make it through and have a beautiful little guy to snuggle with again. Take it EASY now and don't think about anything that maybe should be added to your now empty to-do list!
