Her-story of "waiting" Little things to pass the time...

Waiting. Pronounced wâ'tĭng.
To Wait.
From Dictionary.com:
[Middle English waiten, from Old North French waitier, to watch, of Germanic origin; see weg- in Indo-European roots.]

It can be an adjective, a noun or a verb. I read you can make it an adverb by adding ly to the end. I have never used the word waitingly before. If I didn't just read it from an on line dictionary I would argue its existence in our language and chock it up to poor grammar.
(Sounds like a word that the High & Honorable President George Walker Bush would use.)

I though maybe I am going about this waiting thing the wrong way, maybe I need to make it fun. I googled "make waiting fun". Don't bother, nothing useful at all.
So, maybe I should stop waiting? Or, maybe I should stop over thinking.I know I am not the only one who over thinks, and painfully waits.

I remember it was worse when I was a child. There are many things I could not stand to wait for as a child, Christmas, or my birthday but my number one, the most agonized, each year was the Irish Festival in Buffalo. It wasn't really Buffalo, but it was a long drive that was for sure. They had this creek with rocks and crawfish catchin, puppet shows, face painting, games, the best swingset ever, colorful tents, music, dancing, food, shopping and most importantly the family, some who we only seen once a year.

Clearly I am Irish, and Doll is as Irish as my mom. (Married an Irish man that makes her Irish.) Doll embraces her girlfriends Irish background. Our child will be Irish. Doll's real name is an Irish name, my name is oozing Irish, and our donor, well, he has an Italian name, but he is actually Irish. (We Irish people don't count any other ethnicity.)

So, back to the big wait.
Saturday we take the test. That's 5 days before Doll's womanly visitor, I don't know if that's when you all typically test or even if you do, but we will be. She feels confident, and I know we have only tried 3 times in one month and no matter how many tires it still equals one month. So its still only our first month and some of you may be on your 3rd or 4th or 2nd year trying, so I wont be shattered if it doesn't happen on our first month, because I am a practical thinker. Doll said I cant even think that way, as if my thinking could effect the outcome of little Jr's existence.

We are discussing baby things everyday, yesterday, diapers. Doll wants organic unbleached diapers. I say be it organic or anything else a disposable diaper is a disposable diaper. That's like, 2,500 nasty dirty diapers in a landfill after year one!
Talking about all the little things now helps add up to the waiting anxiety.

But, all I can do is remind myself, we test on Saturday!
