We’re having a baby Monday!!

Hence the reason you haven’t heard much from me on the blog this week. When you go to a Doctor’s appointment and they tell you you’ll be admitted Sunday night and have a baby by Monday afternoon, it kind of sends your mind running a mile a minute, especially when you thought the Doctor would still allow you to go at least another week before talking about inducing you. Our Doctor just felt like now was the best time, I’ve been extremely healthy, baby is extremely healthy, and he didn’t want to go ahead furthering the chance of baby boy being too big, or any other complications that could arise going post-term. Having him this weekend gives us the best chance at still having a normal vaginal delivery. As shocked as we were leaving that appointment, we are so super excited to finally be meeting him!

Has nine months really gone by already? I just can’t believe it.

I expected myself to be really scared and nervous right now, but I am actually doing very well. I’ve been a little overwhelmed the past few days trying to get a few things done beforehand, but as far as the delivery I’m not too scared right now. I’ve been doing really well at praying anytime I start to worry and filling my mind with scriptures about trusting God, it has really helped. I pray I still feel the same way when we go in Sunday.

Will you pray for us?

I will go in Sunday night and they will give me some medicine that can help my body to dilate. Sometimes that gets the labor started all on its own, which would be great. Otherwise, Monday morning they will start my body on pitocin and they expect we should have the baby by Monday afternoon.

Will you pray for a smooth delivery without any complications? Pray for strength and peace for me throughout the entire experience. Pray for our Doctors and nurses to have wisdom. Pray for a healthy baby boy. I covet your prayers in advance and thank you for them tremendously.

I won’t be posting for awhile, but I have some lovely people lined up to share what’s on their heart with you. I hope you will still stop by and show each of them some love. If I get inspired at any time to write, and have the time or energy to do so, I may stop by and say hello. But if things stay quiet, just know it’s because I will be soaking up being a new mommy!

Now, if you want to stay up to date and be flooded with pictures, follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and I promise you will have plenty!

40 Weeks!
