T-9 Days & Counting
Here we are…the count is on. I have 9 days left until my due date. Every day I am a little more uncomfortable and anxiously anticipating her arrival. I think that is the hardest part….Waiting. I don’t have a clue when she will come. I mean it could happen any day…that’s just it…any day!. You can’t put everything on hold waiting for it to happen because what if it doesn’t. So…we continue to make plans and follow through with commitments as best we can waiting for the moment to come. It’s a very interesting time. One that is really about patience and God’s perfect timing. I like to plan and be organized. I have at least 2 calendars going at all times. So this experience is just one of those reminders of how I really don’t have any control at all. I am subject to the Master’s time and plan. I do know the truth that God’s timing is perfect and that every day she isn’t here, it is all part of His sovereign plan. And when she does arrive it will be Perfect. Thank you God!
Yesterday was my weekly check up. My doctor said everything is looking good. I have definitely dropped…so that is a good sign that the baby is descending into the pelvis. She reminded me that she is not a little baby…but that it looks like my body will be able to handle it at least at this point. I am dilated to at least a 2 if not a little more. She also “stripped some membranes” as an effort to move things along. That was not very fun…but I survived. The doctor said I did really good. She said she cried the first time she had that done to her. I didn’t have any tears, but Micah was reminded why he shouldn’t give me his entire hand to hold when I am in pain. 
Hopefully things are moving along and maybe she will be here before the end of the week. I just hope that she doesn’t decide to come late. Thank you for all the prayers and support over the last 9 months…and I continue to ask for your prayers as we wait these last few days.
