Had a good cry this morning...

Well, I am now 16 days past your due date and just needed to cry this morning. Mornings are the hardest part of the day as I wake up with the knowing that I did not go into labour and then by the afternoon I am hopeful we will meet in the evening. You are such a wise soul for the following reasons:

If I look back, several things have held you back and you are so sweet to follow your Mumma: Nanna Carmen has been very sick following gallbladder surgery the first week of December and now is just on the mend, I didn't want a holiday baby, I was worried about missing out on having Betty as our midwife if the other lady went into labour at the same time as she was two weeks early with her first, and after tuning into you yesterday with a friend of mine who is a healer, Cass, you were afraid of hurting me during the delivery as you picked up on my daily practice of stretching my perineum due to the trauma of having to be cut at Maia's birth when she became distressed and we had to get her out quickly, so after a chat yesterday with you and all those other things now being resolved, there is a very good chance we will meet our you very soon. I trust my body and I trust you. I can't wait to meet you my sweet little one and I am so glad that you decided to wait as now everything feels right and clear for your entrance. So many people are waiting in anticipation of your birth. You are coming into a loving family and community and we are blessed that you have chosen us.
