Laying low

He's not here yet. I am nearly 38 weeks and he will be soon. Soon.

I am just doing what I need to get through. Still nesting, gestating, cocooning and just generally, laying low.

I'm ok - well you know as ok as can be expected. I seem to live half at home, half at the hospital these days, but that's fine with me. My Doppler may also blow up at any given moment.

When there is news to share, Carly will be here to share it.

Thanks for all the concerns and well-wishes and sorry I have not been responding to many emails, calls etc. That goes for readers and those who I know in real life, too. They are all very much appreciated, I just don't really have to words to properly articulate how I am or how hard this last bit is.

Stay tuned.

    It will be so wonderful to meet your son, I can't wait. I know this must be extremely hard on you but I am praying that very soon all your fears will be water under the bridge. Praying for your comfort and praying for the life of your son. May God Bless you with perfection. ((HUGS))

    I literally only got online just now to check to see if you'd blogged recently. I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to see pics & hear stories. You're loved by those you've never even met and so is Thumper & as always Hope! Praying for you through what I'm certain is a difficult but exciting time.

    I've been thinking of you a lot........

    We are here, sitting and waiting with you Sally. I just want to take this moment to thank you for all that you have done for me, even with only your words.

    You have given me hope, strength, and understanding. You've given me light at the end of a narrow lonely tunnel.

    So here's to you and your son, and the family you are about to expand.

    Happy birthing!!!

    Love from Canada

    Hang in there Sally, you are so close. I think it is normal(at least as normal as a db mom gets) to want to curl up and pull the covers over your head these last few days/weeks. It's exactly how I felt about a year ago. Exactly.
    Waiting anxiously for word and quietly abiding with you.
