B...Thank you all, I'll pass your good wishes along. Bronwen's doing well, still fairly comfortable, but in that strange post-40-week phase where you're waiting for something that will render everything else you do each day quite irrelevant, really, yet you don't know when it will happen and have to go on patiently moving through all those irrelevant daily activities. None of my four were less than four days late; my last was just over 3 weeks, so I know the territory. As Christine can testify, it's an odd place to be! But within days, this waiting will be over and a new phase of all our lives will begin. I'll let you know when!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-2279810966991676772008-11-21T15:34:00.000-08:002008-11-21T15:34:00.000-08:00How exciting!

I knew I might be called away so I had packed for both events and I was so excited when the call came. I bought Champagne for all the sewing ladies and caught the next flight across the country back to Tennessee. That was one of the happiest and tiredest couple of weeks. I remember so poignantly how DSD had said don't hurry, we'll be fine before baby came, and the teary call after she was home, just 3 hours after the birth begging please come soon. I remember walking around holding that crying baby while his parents tried to sleep, to tired myself to do anything but recite the prologue to The Canterbury Tales (in middle english of course).<BR/><BR/>Good luck and much happiness to come.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-50783487131795246202008-11-21T11:50:00.000-08:002008-11-21T11:50:00.000-08:00Oh wow, I somehow thought baby was due later in De...Oh wow, I somehow thought baby was due later in December! I went to 42 weeks and everyday my father would phone and ask if anything was happening. Poor parents, they came home early from a trip because my due date was March 30, and my son was born on April 17. <BR/><BR/>So good luck with the waiting! No matter what, you will look beautiful to baby.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, God speed for a swift delivery and good health for Mommy and baby.<BR/><BR/>ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-30675108504137119812008-11-21T11:03:00.000-08:002008-11-21T11:03:00.000-08:00How is your daughter feeling?
