Adding another to the group.

I am currently waiting for my third son(Aaron) to arrive.  I have been stressing a lot about not wanting to wait any longer for him to arrive. Everyday seems like an eternity, anytime I see someone I know they make comments such as: wow, your still here? or what no baby yet? or when is your due date again?  I am currently 9 days over due and experienceing contractions on and off, but not consistantly.  I was ten days over due with my second, and he turned out fine. I am the one who can't handle the nerves and the waiting. 

Now that it is so close to his arrival I thought my cravings would stop, but they have only increased.  I have dreams about foods such as: donuts, pizza, carniasada fries, etc.  And during the day I wish for foods that are not in my cupboards.  I try to distract myself from food and the thought of waiting by reading books, and playing with my kids.  I have talked of the baby often with my soon to be four year old(Sam).  He seems to understand that there is a new baby, friend, and brother coming soon.  He has started coming up to my belly and giving it hugs and telling the baby to come out and play.  It always brings a smile to my face when he mentions something about "baby Aaron".  I am so glad to have my two boys, and the third to come.  Seeing them restle, copycat eachother, and play together in general gives me hope for the future and brings great joy to my heart.  I am the mother of two very loving boys who will be wonderful big brothers to their new brother.  Please baby Aaron come soon.
