It's hard to balance my awareness that she could actually come any day now...and the fact that she probably won't come until May 9th....or later.
I want to be ready....even if my labor started tonight. I want the house to be clean and organized, the car seat secure, her bag packed, my bag packed, my school responsibilities in order...whenever it's TIME. But while I'm trying to accomplish those things, I'm also trying not to think that way. The days will seem endless if I'm expecting to meet Maya at any moment.
Last Friday, Dr. Karnes said that I am "just about dialated to 1"....50 percent effaced, and that Maya is "pretty well engaged." My next appointment is tomorrow. So we'll find out if anything has changed.
What if it's not Maya? What if it's Ian??
I'd love to meet him too, but I'm afraid I'd feel like I had lost Maya...that I've known her and loved her, and never got to hold her. Though we've been loving and anticipating whomever is inside of me, we would have to work fast to transform the nursery and the baby's wardrobe into something less feminine.
When will the waiting end? What will she look like? Will it really be Maya? Soon all will be revealed.

You would surely need to keep all those pink outfits hid from Ian forever!
Angela, I am SO excited for you guys. I must admit, I have followed along through your pregnancy so far, and lately I have been checking atleast every other day to see if you have had the baby yet. Congratulations again! ~Anne (Chris's Anne) =)
We miss you guys. Glad to hear things are going well. Hope the days don't seem to drag on for you!
Love, Lindsey
Ian or Maya....I'm excited for another Corbin. : )
love, elizabeth
Angela, I am feeling your excitement! Your blog brings back all the memories of waiting for Anna. Meeting Maya for the first time will flood you with so much love and protectiveness. Being a mom is the very best gift ever and all those nights and days of no sleep are so worth it! Both of you will be wonderful parents!
