three days or less...

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28

One day past my due date. As I ate breakfast (yummy Cinnamin Toast Crunch for me - the first food I made Dave go out at night and get me the other night...and eggs and cheddar cheese for baby - lots of protein for development), Vaughn was hiccupping. Typically, his hiccups annoy me because of the monotonous pulsing that lasts for 15 or more minutes. This time, I appreciated every hic and cup. This may be the last time he spasms in my belly. He's all mine right now. I'm going to enjoy every last moment of having him all to me. I never thought I would feel so selfish about my baby. But that's what he is...my baby. At least for now before he's ready to be shared with the world.

  1. Hang in there! My water broke 3 days after my due date, and they induced labor shortly after. It was very long and difficult but not at all impossible or unbearable. You will do great, just remember, your little miracle will make every bit of pain worth it. When our baby girl arrived it was the best moment of my life, topped only by the day we brought her home from the hospital. Keep enjoying every minute!
