Due Date +12 Days
It has been pointed out to me that I might be using this blog to paint a slightly rosier picture of this whole process then is completely accurate. It is not a lie when I say that “I am trying to be as peaceful and patient as possible”. But it also wouldn’t be a lie to say the sometimes I just completely melt down and cry about it. Throughout this whole pregnancy Ben has been an amazing support and partner. He has actually begun to realize when he should attempt to cheer me up and when he should just hold me and let me cry (mind you not an easy thing for a guy to do!) He never complains when I drag him on all my crazy walks, or so subtly suggest (read: demand) back and foot rubs. He has even been reading the baby books with me and sat through several…ummm… “graphic” labor and delivery videos during our child birthing classes. So today I just want to thank him for all his love and support throughout the ups and downs of this pregnancy and all of our journeys together!
(I do suspect the baby may have inherited its father’s "stubborn gene" and that is the reason it is refusing to come out. But that’s just my theory ;-) And I'll still love them both, even with the "stubborn gene".)

You know, I think Ben just might be a keeper ;)
Its ok to get upset, its ok to be frustrated. Your lives are completely in flux right now. Everything os centered around when the baby wants to make an appearance. Both of you are holding up very well considering the HUGE amount of stress you are both under.
I'm thinking about all of you, and if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask.
So nice to hear your expression of love for Ben and the little one who someday real soon will arrive. The good thing about all this is tht you will soon forget the long wait and be relishing a new one who will consume your time. Life is good! Enjoy!

Although I am sure Ben is correct, I think you have more than earned the right to paint a "rosier picture" than the reality of the situation. Trust me, I did the same. It is easy to sound patient in writing. Get mad- get frustrated and cry, who knows, maybe that is what young Thuma is waiting for?!?
