My brother and his wife are expecting their first child--any day now. In fact, she was due on the 25th of June. Unfortunately for her, she is still pregnant. I would be dying if I was over my due date. With Abigail the doc scheduled me to be induced the day after my due date (I came a few days early so I didn't need it). I think with Jess, my sister in law, they used the cream to try to induce labor and her and Aaron have been going on long walks, but nothing has worked. I think that her doc is actually on vaca this week so her next appointment isn't til next week anyway. I would just like to say I am sorry Jess and I hope that your little girl decides to make her debut earlier rather than later and I hope that your patience hangs in there.
My grandma has been in town visiting and it's been really great to see her. As she has been here at home with the kids and I all during the day, I am a little self consious about my parenting. You know, I want my grandma to be proud of me not thinking, "OH my gosh, what the heck is going on here." Amidst this self scrutiny, I have noticed that my patience has, in fact, decreased with each child I have had. Like the more children the less patience. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? I am so incredibly grateful for each of my children and I hope that they know I love them despite how stressed or upset I act sometimes.

The good part about being over-due with a baby... is that is HAS to come out at some point! So, you aren't in endless agony!
Patience: I too think that I have lost an amount of the little I had with every more child we've added. Maybe there's a crossing point where you start to GAIN patience....
Actually, I don't find that I am ever irritated or lack patience when it comes to Tristan, because I am so grateful to have her, and have her at home and in our family, so maybe sometimes when things happen it makes you open your eyes to how grateful you are to have those little kids... then you have more patience with them... it's a good thought anyway!
Clara, I think you are a great mother, and have incredible patience. I wish I had been as patient with mine as you are with yours.
Thank you Kathi. That really means a lot to me. I am glad that you check our blog to see some pics of the kids. I need to get more recent ones. There just hasn't been anything going on to take pictures of.
Yeah Clara, you are definitely a lot more patient than I am! You are a great mom, just keep up the good work !
Clara, I have no doubt that you are a great mother. I've never seen a mom with endless patience who never gets upset with her kids. I think it's good for kids to see their mom as human and know she has feelings, and besides, having a new born is HARD! It will get easier as they get older. I miss you!!
