When I loaded outlook at work this morning a calendar reminder popped up that said: DUE DATE in 14.5 hours. Wow. That was really bizarre. It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the date that I've been looking forward to for the past 9 months. November 5th. Lukas' due date. I wonder if he'll decide that tomorrow is the day. I hope so, but as I told my mom this morning, this is his journey and I'm just along for the ride. So I'll continue to wait for him to be ready to greet the world and meet us.
I didn't say I'd continue to wait "patiently". But I will continue to wait. Another friend told me that this is just the first of many times throughout his life where he'll be testing my patience. I'm sure that is a very true statement.
But in an effort to not go out of my mind (which I started to do last night as I sat on my couch watching TV for the 3rd hour in a row), Mr. Cob and I have decided that I need to keep busy. So I'm at work today. And tonight we're going to dinner. Tomorrow I'm going to go to work again and maybe meet my parents for a late lunch and then have a dinner/movie date with Mr. Cob - we're going to see Due Date which comes out tomorrow - it seems apropos. Saturday Mr. Cob is going to play soccer in the morning and Wrigley and I will walk around the park while he plays and then we're going to do something outside of the house. I cannot sit in that house and wait any more. It's time to switch it up! I also figure that maybe if I make a ton of plans, then Lukas will suddenly arrive and "ruin" them - kind of like reverse psychology. It's our first parenting strategy. Let's hope it works.
Sounds like a great plan. The wait will be well worth it.
