Party On

I've reached my psychological limit here. I know people believe that babies will come when they're ready, but in my mind there's nothing wrong with trying to encourage him. I can't force  him to come when he isn't ready, but I can surely make it easier for him, right?

The rides and events were only going at specific times anyhow and there was no way he was making it an hour to wait in line for something he may or may not care for. We were done and everyone was on edge. Ahhh-life. I feel like every day is a struggle right now. I'm so si...
