patience is a virtue

Posted on January 3, 2007

Patience is not one of my strongest aspects right now. After 36 weeks, 30 pounds, I am just so very eager for this pregnancy to be over. I don’t even think about the delivery anymore and the pains I would be feeling, I just want Mateo out.

Add to the discomfort of a so much bigger tummy the ‘torture’ I kind of went through this holiday season. I have to confess though that I also gave in to temptation on more than one occassion. It’s so much harder to eat healthy when everywhere you look you see holiday treats and sweets. I’m due for another check-up this Saturday and I am dreading the time when I would have to step on the scale. Before I go to sleep every night, I reflect and think that I am not being a very good mother by not watching what I eat. Hehe!

According to my ob’s computations, I could give birth as early as January 10. I actually want to target the first two weeks from January 10 onwards, don’t want any chance for Mateo to grow too big for me to deliver him naturally. We’re really eager to see him already. My mama bought him an Irdy playpen as a gift. Ramil and I have almost all the things that Mateo needs (we think). Been doing a lot of walking and thinking of ways for me to go into labor early. So our countdown is beginning, just hope and pray it doesn’t take too long.
