All we need is just a little patience...

For those of you who are keeping track, today is indeed our "due date"... and, as should surprise no-one who knows me, we are now overdue! There will be no January 29th baby here. While I can't say that I'm surprised, I'd obviously hoped that little Asparagus might be one of the 5% of babies actually born on their due dates. Before would have been okay, too. *Sigh.* Oh, well! One positive bit - since we had our first ultrasound when I was only five weeks pregnant, we're confident that the due date itself is accurate. According to something I read somewhere sometime (how's that for citing my sources?), when early ultrasound is used to determine due dates, the traditional statistic of 10% of babies being post-term - which I think is being born two weeks or more after their due dates - drops to only 2%. So... maybe tomorrow! Bonus points for anyone who knows what band's lyrics I used for the title of this post. :)

Tooooooo eazy:
Guns N Roses - Patience Lyrics
[whistle]
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it

[whistle]
...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need *

I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
'CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
OO, I NEED YOU
WHOA, I NEED YOU
OO, ALL THIS TIME **
(ah)

So it was time to find a different "Patience" song than the one your mama taught you, huh? I would like to hear your version, but I can sing you a fine rendition of one by the Maranatha Singers! "Have patience, have patience, don't be in such a hurry. When you get impatient you only start to worry...." :) Mom

LOL at Mom's "Have Patience" memory!! :-) Oh Meiks... I'm so excited for that baby to get herself out of you... We're trying to have patience too right now as we wait for a room to open on the inpatient side of 7South!... Samara is entering round 3 of chemo today... (Tim just posted). Love you lots and can't wait for the news!

Twenty bonus points, just enough to redeem for a live performance of said "Patience" song by Mike. He does a really nice job with it. :) Darn Google. :)

I do, by the way, also remember the Maranatha version of "Patience" and have acquainted Mike with it, as well. Funny, for some reason he doesn't like it as much... maybe because I sing it to him in traffic? :) He's come up with his own version as well, which goes something like this: "PATIENCE PATIENCE LALALA WHO'S IMPATIENT NOW LALALALA..." He likes to sing that to me, sometimes.

I just checked your page, Heid - and now I'm impatient for you to be done with all this mess! Glad things sound like they're going in the right direction, though.
