Hanging in there

...barely

I could really use some cranberries and almonds to help my stress level right now. My hubby's mom is a nail biter so we keep saying that by now she has no finger or toe nails and is probably chewing on her arm.

I try to keep my mind off everything, but am not having much luck right now.
I could really use a good run or yoga class right now. Deep breathe.
I have currently resorted to chocolate and a good book. I hope that does the trick.

  1. Oh sweetie! The wait must be so hard to cope with. Maybe a trip to the grocery store for some cranberries and almonds would also help. If you were close, we would go to a yoga class together. Or I would make a class up for you (since I'm an instructor). Okay, if I made up a little sequence for you, there would be these poses. Child's pose and happy baby pose, for obvious reasons. Maybe warrior pose to tap into your strength. And then maybe legs up the wall to rejuvenate.

    Reading a book and eating chocolate sound like good things too.

    hang in there, lovely! Pretty soon, little baby boy will be with you (sparring your MIL her arms).

  2. The anxiety must be terrible. I imagine this would be the hardest part of the whole process. Hopefully it's all about to pay off big time!

  3. Good choice on the chocolate and book, although I'm sure reading is a little difficult with a racing mind!! I was just thinking about you this morning- wondering how things were going, SOON!!!
