She will come when she's ready

"She will come when she is ready"

The most annoying phrase of the week. 

Thank you for your wise insight. I had no idea that was how this whole pregnancy, labor, and delivery concept works. 

Also, when someone is sleeping about 4 hours/night for the past week - telling them "she will come when she's ready" is so therapeutic. I was tired, uncomfortable, impatient, and anxious... But now I feel so much better knowing such valuable information. 

( Ha! :D ) 

Okay okay, I'll end my rant. You know I have to rant. I know these comments of insightful and wise advice aren't meant to be annoying. But, they are annoying. 

I've been pregnant for 39 weeks and 5 days, my house is 100% ready for a baby, I'm not sleeping well - and I am very aware that babies come when they are ready. 

And just to add, I've heard this from a handful of friends/colleagues this week. I never once asked them "when is this baby going to come?". this has been their response after saying "How are you  feeling? Are you sleeping well?" -- and when I give my honest assessment...they say "Well, babies come when they are ready"

So now when people ask how I'm feeling - I just say "Great."

I even had someone say "Well, once she comes she isn't going anywhere. So savor these moments" 

Gosh, I wish you would have told me that before I sat on a balance ball from the hours of 12 am-3am the other night having contractions and cramps. I would have worked harder at really savoring that time. That was so much fun - I don't know why it didn't dawn on me in the moment how enjoyable that was.

Okay - I'll put the salt shaker down. 

Any day now, let's hope this little baby makes her way into our world! 

I mean, she will come when she's ready, Right? That's what I hear, anyways. 

:D
