Yesterday should have been the day we had waited for. After a night of contractions, we made our way to the birth center, ready to have our baby! We found out that the contractions made us no progress due to the baby’s position, we went for a walk, eventually went home, came back and by 9 pm, still no progress. We went home again to continue the wait.

Waiting is my least favorite thing to do. We’ve waited 10 months for this. We (and others) have waited years and years to meet their babies. Waiting for good things is hard, but worth it.
