I second what Kate said. By nature, I'm not a patient person either. I find I enjoy things much more if I get them 'right now.' For the first eight months the pregnancy went quick in part because I could picture Kate at work, and as long as she was at work the baby (probably) would not be developed enough to come. But now that she is on maternity leave that means the baby is done, so let's get this show on the road.
This morning when I got home from walking Riley I checked under Kate's shirt, just to see. Yes, the baby is still there. I find myself staring intently at my cell phone, when Kate is not around, waiting for it to ring and tell me 'it's time.' What makes it all worse is that we have all this baby stuff sitting around with nothing to put in it. This whole waiting business is not really my style.
I am ready for this baby. My faith has certainly prepared me for what lies ahead, and I want to see this great blessing that God has given to me and Kate. I have spent the last nine months or so getting ready for Squishy emotionally and materially (cribs, etc), and now that the time is here I find myself praying harder for God to send Squishy out here so the rest of the world can see him.
We have everything we need, including the support and love of our familes and friends, but also the power of almighty God. Now all we need is a baby. All of that is to say I am done waiting and I want to see my baby.
