Yesterday I learned that I'll be induced to deliver next Thursday, June 6. Which was a little bit of a shock even though it shouldn't have been. So I had a lot of thoughts swirling in my head, mostly about things I wanted to get done. First on my list? Assemble my photo album.
As I mentioned in my last post, I had my favorite Tote Trove pics printed from Shutterfly so that I can look at them (among other colorful things) while in labor. Because being pregnant is like being in line for a roller coaster. You (if it was, of course, a planned pregnancy) chose to get on the ride, you want to get on the ride, but now that you're inching closer to the front, you wish you'd picked the merry-go-round. Yet there's no turning back. The crowd is pushing you forward, and those pretty ponies are a mere memory. You're getting on that coaster. And when you do, it'll be terrifying. But also fun. Once it's over, you'll wonder why you worried at all. Because your life is undeniably fuller for the experience.
That's how I feel about Thursday.
Not that the exhilaration of besting an amusement park attraction equals the euphoria of having a child. Or so I'm told. But as you well know, wordplay helps me almost as much as pictures.
Although I plan to keep posting between now and Thursday, my doc said that I may go into labor before then. So if you don't see anything new from me, know that I'm screaming Space Mountain style, embarking on my biggest adventure.
Got that, universe? I said Space Mountain -- not Kingda Ka.

So glad you got this photo album done. Such a great way to start this new chapter in your life. So colorful! A great way to show someone your adventures! I hope all goes well on Thursday! At the moment I have a horrible cough and I didn't sleep much last night. I don't think I will be working my Sunday at the Library. I am hoping I can sleep somehow. I did manage the Saturday. Although, I had a bit of coughing moment that even scared me. Now I feel exhausted. But our Children Summer's reading program has started.💕🪷🌸🍓💕🪷🌸🍓💕Thanks so much for your comments. Oh, a lot of growing pains. Of course, I know I'm dreaming about certain things..I would love to see in our Olde Towne. And I like that my characters can be a part of that. All the best to a lovely June with many wonderful happenings💕🌸🍧🌸💕
Wow - the time has arrived!! 💖 I'm sure you'll handle it bravely, and as your photo album colorfully shows, you'll have lots of beautiful photographs to enjoy and keep you calm. Wishing you the best for what's to come this week! ✨ You've got this!
Such a great last line! Oh, a very sweet post indeed. You are in my thoughts and prayers as the big day arrives. I hope it all goes wonderfully! All the best to you and your new little one. I'm very excited for you and your family.
