Today was both efficient and totally sucky. I accomplished much for rodeo. I accomplished much for random baby stuff (that didn’t need to be done yet, but the stress of waiting got to me too much this evening). But it was also a very stress-filled day. Lots of emotions at this point. My husband is stressed about school and work and money, I believe – he hasn’t been great at discussing any of it lately, and has been more on the explosive side of stress, unfortunately. Understandable, of course, but not fun to have when about to give birth and filled with emotions oneself. There are several things I had requested to have done well before the baby arrived that are not at all done. I found how very much I am not currently capable of doing these things. And my body was massively uncomfortable all day long.
God, help us to release the strains that bind us. Help us to love ourselves wholly and to love one another freely and wholly. Guide us to your will with ease. Help us to be our best selves willingly. Make the baby and us safe, please, and make us well. Grant us an easy and beautiful and bonding labor and delivery, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
