Patience

Yeah, let's just say I don't have a large supply of it nowadays.  I'm really trying, but being super huge with child and trying to be kind all the time gets old fast.  However, our sweet and all knowing Father in Heaven is giving me no other option than to be patient at this time.  How I love these life lessons sometimes! Argh. I get the blessing of practicing patience in waiting for this child to come into the world.  Waiting for a baby to show up is probably one of the most frustrating things in the world at the end of pregnancy.  Being a military spouse, at this particular military hospital, no inductions until 41 weeks.  Hmmm.  I am definitely NOT 41 weeks and I really hope Heavenly Father has mercy on my poor soul so that I don't have to still be pregnant at that time.  I see it as a little "unfair".  There are so many people with inductions or c-sections scheduled BEFORE my due date that are due AFTER me.  Unless I go a week overdue, I do not get the luxury of picking the day my child arrives in the world.  I get to roll with the punches.  There are so many women having their babies - I really just kinda want to get mine already, you know!?  So, for now I am doing my best to exercise patience.  I am also trying my best to have enough faith to leave this in the Lord's hands and trust it will all work out.  That's what I'm gunna do - and I'm sure everything will turn out fine whenever the baby decides to show.
