    I’m still praying for you, Katie! I usually went 40-42 weeks with my babies. And then they weighed 10-11 pounds at delivery! So don’t get too impatient! It could be worse! :)
    She’ll be here so soon, and this will all be a memory. Take it from “Grandma” here, who knows the truth of this first hand.
    Hugs!!!

    I was in the exact same place with my 4th…knowing I was half-way there and wondering if “tonight would be the night”! (My body seems to like to go into labor at night.) It really will be any day now!!! Hang in there!!! I’m checking your blog frequently for news :)

    I wonder how a four-year-old’s dream about labor would go? :)

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
