Waiting

Waiting is just about the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

I've carried around this little bundle of energy in my belly for over 38 weeks now...that's a long time to wait!

Luckily I've had a friend to walk through this with. Her name is Danni, and she was 2 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy. We've discussed everything! Symptoms, fears, hopes, dreams.

I drove her to the hospital on Tuesday, September 16th and held her hand through many a contraction. Lua KenLeigh McD. was born at 3:19 pm weighing 7 lbs 10 oz!!!



Just being with Danni thru that time, even though I wasn't there during the actual birthing stage of labor, was one of the most amazing times of my life.

Riley, I'm ready for you to come!!!!!

He will be here before you know it! I was so nervous with Pink that every night before I went to sleep I prayed for just one more night before she would come. I was so scared of labor. With Buddy I was ready for him to be here by my 8th month because I was so uncomfortable. It is nice to have friend to go through all of this with. Especially with your first:)

Wow, Whit!!! I didn't know you had a friend who was pregnant. I remember when Anne had Miss Pink and I realized, "I'm next!!!" I got really nervous. Glad you got to be a part of the little one's entrance into the world!

Give Riley some squeezes from me!
