Stalling

It's not even 9:00 and I'm already so hot that I feel faint. We have the A/C cranking and it's probably actually freezing in our house but I'm a sweat machine. I couldn't even drink my morning coffee because I didn't want it to make me hot. I am SO glad I'm not due in August because this being pregnant in the summer business is so not fun. What's even funnier is that it's only in the 70's here this morning.

We drove out to Green Lake last night to see friends from our church back in St. Louis that we're camping it up. So worth the drive to see some familiar faces, and the s'mores were great to! Despite getting back home at 1:00 this morning, I still popped out of bed at 6 am ready to get my to-do list done for the day.

So far I've made 2 batches of granola, a big bowl of hummus (Steve goes through it like crazy), done a load of laundry and am now working myself up to attack part of the basement (hence the blogging, I'm trying to put it off as long as possible).

I keep thinking this baby is gonna come late, but I want to get as much done around the house as possible just in case he decides to show up tomorrow. Realistically I know I won't get our basement into shape like I want to before our little guy arrives, and I'm trying to be okay with that.

I've been thinking a lot lately about that upcoming birth of our little guy and realized that I have a lot of fear that I just need to give over to God. I don't think it's actually fear of the labor and pain so much as it is the fear of the unknown. I'm a planner by nature, so not feeling like I know what I'm getting into has been completely stressing me out more than I realized. Realistically, I know that I'll be fine. Thousands of women have had babies before and everyone started somewhere and didn't really know what they were getting into. It still doesn't make me feel all that much better though. I do want to choose to lay my fears down and just trust that everything will be okay and that God will give me all the grace I need for the labor, delivery and first few weeks. I'm so thankful for all of the mommy friends I have that can share their nuggets of wisdom and experience with me.

Okay, enough stalling for now. It's time to get back to work!
