The Waiting Game

Seems like all I am doing lately, waiting. At the moment I am waiting for Oliver to go to sleep. We've been trying the morning nap thing on and off since about 8:30. It's almost 10:30 now. The thing that gets me is that he is so tired. He NEEDS to sleep and I need him to sleep. I was able to squeeze in a 15 minute nap earlier while he was quiet in his crib, but that is about it. I have a feeling the mommy nap will be lost today too.
I am also waiting for Oliver's sister to remove herself from my body. I am so done with being pregnant right now. I wake up every morning thinking that maybe this is the day, only to go to bed disappointed that it wasn't. At the doctor yesterday, she said that she still thinks it might be sometime this week or next. I told her she got my hopes up and now I will be disappointed if it isn't. She is on call at the hospital this week and I would really love for her to deliver the baby. I like her and feel comfortable with her. But when it really comes down to it, I will like anyone who takes this baby out of me! I am actually looking forward to the delivery a little bit, now that I know what to expect and I know that the epidural is a gift from the heavens. This time around I want to pay more attention to what is happening rather than get all caught up in my own distress.
I was thinking that today, Cinco de Mayo, would be a perfect day to have the baby since I have been craving Mexican food since day one of this pregnancy. I asked Joel if he thought she was part Mexican...he didn't really laugh.
