So the baby floating around to the right of my screen (which totally freaks my mom out by the way) tells me I have 7 days. Everyone else tells me it could be any day now. Then why do I feel like Baby Imig is going to be in here FOREVER?? I have never wanted to have a contraction more in my life then I do right now:)
Between my excitement and discomfort, the days just seem to drag on. My prayers lately have begun and ended with, "God I REALLY am ready when you are!" I wish He'd take me seriously:) No, I know His timing is perfect and I just need to be patient. But the more patient I am the more I start to freak out.
Who am I to claim that I am really ready to be a mom? I am really hoping that it's true that you get a motherly instinct upon the baby's arrival or I am in big trouble! It is weird to live each day knowing that it could be full of lasts. I was telling Derek last night that our days of throwing caution to the wind are coming to a close. He seems fine with that. Good thing, cause there is no turning back. People keep asking me if he's nervous. If he is, he certainly is good at hiding it. I couldn't be more thankful that he is soooo excited!
Let's take a minute to really talk about Derek . . . months before we discovered we were going to have a baby he seemed a bit uneasy about the idea. The second I told him the news he seemed a little surprised. And just hours later he was thrilled. He has never showed an ounce of anxiety. He knows the answers to alot of my questions and he even taught me the breathing techniques the other night that I had already forgotten:) He never hesitates to rub my back and my feet, I haven't unloaded the dishwasher in months, and I'm not even all that welcome to join him on Sunday morning trips to the store because it's his new idea of fun and I'm okay with that:)
I know in about 7 days those back rubs will become few and far between and I may have to unload a dish or two. But I am so thankful that God has blessed me with a husband who enjoyed making my life a little bit easier for the past 9 months!

Thank you for posting such a positive blog about your husband. So many times it is easier to say the things they are doing wrong or not doing at all. I mean...Mak even asked if it was our anniversary when Colin unloaded the dishwasher the the other night, so yeah it will stop at some point. Hang in there, you just had the walk of your lifetime, so I'll be waiting by the phone tonight!
Hey Lindsey..
