Alright, I know I blog about having patience with children, but I’m about at the end of mine!  Here it is, days after my due date, and I am still pregnant. I know that having the baby on my due date was statistically improbable because I’ve been reading that only 5 percent of moms deliver on their due dates - by the same time this week (ie at 41 weeks) that number is 60% - it’ll be 98% by the 42nd week. I also know that since my first child was late, I have a greater chance of being late this time around. Pardon me while I take a moment to sit back and try to use will power to bring on labour . . . Nope.  I suppose this child is already displaying his/her determination and authority over the matter.

Waiting for baby is truly a good test of patience. Every day for the last two weeks I’ve been silently hoping for the baby to come. And yes, I clearly understand I will remember these last days fondly and wish for them back. Everyone with more than one child has told me this and I will just say, I hear you. That does not change the fact that for nine long months I’ve waited  and now I want action!

Coming this week - if not baby, then hopefully the article about the DMV I’ve been promising.   I’ve been reticent to talk about it until such time as I get what I’ve needed from them.  I can wait no longer to share this doozy with you.  So either way, some excitement to look forward to over here at Having Patience!
