Waiting - The Pregnancy Theme

I am beginning to discover that behind this whole pregnancy thing is a lot of waiting. Why is it then, that whenever I talk to friends that have had babies towards the end of their pregnancy they ALWAYS say "I can't believe it's been 40 weeks already!" I guess that it is anticipation, and it makes time go faster. In the meantime I wait...I am waiting for my next doctor appointment (so we can see the peanut again) , and I can't wait to actually HAVE my baby in my arms. I also can't wait until I can feel the baby move. The list goes on and on and ON!

I am not the only one that is waiting. Yesterday it was requested that I hurry up the whole period of gestation. I also received a phone call from my cousin last night asking if we were going to find out the sex (YES!) and if I would share it with her (Her and anyone else that will listen, because she wants to MAKE something for the peanut and rather doing it in green or yellow would like to WAIT until we know the sex. That's something else I can't WAIT for. If nothing else, hopefully I learn to have more patience throughout this pregnancy. But I will tell you one thing, this baby better not decide to be late. In fact, I think I'll try to make arrangements now with my doctor for labor induction on August 4th so there is no way I have to wait any more :)
