So, I try to keep my blog updated and not go too long without posting something, so in keeping with that goal I decided to post something today. I feel like I'm in limbo...waiting for a baby, waiting for a possible job change for Terry. It's harder for me to feel the motivation to get up and do things with the kids and I feel like such an awful mom! I've realized it's much harder to just sit around and wait for things to happen, though. Time goes much faster and I feel a whole lot better when I keep going and doing. It's just getting myself to do it that's the hard part! I'm not really sad or upset or anything...just in limbo. Just waiting...waiting...waiting... Has anyone else ever felt like that before, like all the fun stuff or hard stuff is coming and you are just waiting for it to explode?!? I feel like I'm holding a time bomb or something and I'm afraid to move or it will all blow up in my face. So, I'm just waiting, and waiting... (I'll let you know when it explodes!)

So I'm Camille Davis' little sister and I've kind of been reading your BLOG :)(I live in Lisa's ward too - we all went to high school together). Sorry to admit that now, but I totally relate to what you're saying! My husband is in between jobs and I feel like we're totally in limbo too! It's so hard not to know what's going on and to just feel blah!
I just wanted to wish you luck - and congratulations on the "almost" new addition!

Lol, I'm glad you commented. It's always fun to have random people comment on your blog! Good luck with your husbands job!
I am so sorry for your "limbo" situation! I wish I could come entertain you guys for awhile before the baby came -- wouldn't that be fun?
Hang in there -- you will soon have plenty of things to do to keep your mind occupied!
I sympathize with you all the way. There are many times when being in limbo is the hardest place to be. It's not like you have a lot of energy to get up and be doing, so grab a book and sit down and let that new little baby do all the getting up and be doing!!! Think of all the things you love to do and do them because once that new baby is born, good-bye extra time!!!! I can't wait to get there and help. Love you.
It definitely seems like everything happens at once huh? Good luck with everything, being in limbo is hard!
Becky, I didn't realize you were getting so close to due!! Have your other babies come on time or late or early? It is so hard to just not know isn't it? You never know if you have a whole month or one day so you just don't know what to plan for. Waiting for a job must compound that feeling even more. I'd recommend enjoying the time you have to spend with those two cute little kids you have now, cuddling or reading, etc, while you can. Best of luck! I'll be thinking of you!
I've definitely been in similar places before...just waiting, nothing seems to be in your control. I just don't like waiting. Thanks for reminding all of us that this is a normal (although difficult) thing. It's nice to know none of us are alone.
Hey Laura,
The are going to induce me on Oct. 3rd, so we are pretty sure she is going to come that day. There's always the chance that she might come early, but Breckan and Zack both came right around their due dates, so I doubt it. I feel like she's so big and she is so low, I'm even dilated to a 2, but we will see.
oh yeah. Sorry, I totally forgot that you already told me that. I tend to be that way. I guess that at least you know she will for sure come by then!
Limbo is a hard place to be... just try to remember it won't last too long (like another week) and then you will be wondering why you were worrying.. you will be so busy time will start to fly and things will fall into place. I hope it goes fast for you! ;) Take care, and we can't wait to meet our new niece when she comes!!!
