Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

I think Jack Johnson had lots of people in mind when he wrote the words to that song. In particular - moms that want to have their babies already! LOL!!

This morning Graycen came into our bed at 5:39. That sucked! Thankfully, I was able to get her to go back to sleep. Unfortunately, I was unable to get myself back to sleep :( The reason I couldn't fall asleep wasn't because I wasn't tired - ooh no - it was because I was feeling contractions, regularly. I started timing them - 8 minutes. I laid there through a few of them and decided there was no way I was going to fall back asleep so I grabbed a blanket and went out to the couch. Plopped down on the couch, turned on the TV and how appropriate - Birth Day was on Discovery Health. All of the baby shows on Discovery Health are some of my favorites to watch. I watched for awhile, my contractions continued, I dozed off. Graycen came out around 8:00am - thankfully she slept for a while longer!! We got up and got started with the day. Don't know if the contractions stopped or if I am just not paying attention to them anymore since I'm not just laying there watching TV or what... but it's sucks because I am back to sitting....waiting....wishing...

**Edited to add::::: Sherri and I have been emailing back and forth talking about Parker and maybe choosing which zodiac sign he wanted. If he is born today, he will be a Gemini. If he is born tomorrow or later, he will be a Cancer. She said "maybe he will surprise you and still be a Gemini, but he just can’t make up his mind like a Gemini is prone to flip-flop" Could be, could be!
