I did not want to go to church today. I did want to take the sacrament and hear the speakers and all of that good stuff, but I wasn't looking forward to the social aspect: the inevitable question "Are you still here?" But I went to church, and enjoyed sacrament meeting, and even primary with the new schedule and the new presidency, and was only asked about 35 times "Are you still here?" "Why are you still here?" "When are you going to have that baby?" And as hard as it is for me to continue responding that I am just waiting, the genuine kindness and concern is really touching.
The baby will come when it comes. I'm just not very good at waiting. I'm trying to be better though--what choice do I have?
i feel your pain. every week you think this is probably the last sunday before the wee one is born. but it's not.
ReplyDeleteIn our defense, you did kind of fake us out on Wednesday--every one was expecting baby news today!
ReplyDeleteAnd I sympathize. I'm never one to be patient when someone's hind-end is cutting off my air supply.
I'm sorry about the fake-out. . . it seems that my humiliations always come at the most public times.
