No baby yet???
We have now entered 2007 and no baby yet! It's hard to believe that I am already 3 days past my due date (which was 12/31/06). Only the Lord knows when this baby will come, but we do have a plan of action...
This morning we went to the doctor and as it turns out, I am still NOT dilated. You'd think being 40 1/2 weeks pregnant that I would be dilated some, but no, nothing. So, now we enter the phase of induction.
The plan right now is that I will go to the hospital on Saturday morning to be induced. There is no telling how long it will take for my body to respond to the induction before I go into labor. It could be a day, two days, maybe even three. But, by next week there will be a baby in our arms - one way or another!
Prayer requests:
1. That God would give us strength and energy as we wait out the induction at the hospital.
2. That the induction would "take" and that it would get things moving fast and soon.
3. That baby would remain healthy and without stress during this process.
4. That we would be patient and stay encouraged.
Thanks everyone for all your prayers and for your thoughtful check-ins. We have appreciated so very much all of the kindness that we have received.
God is good and we are so excited that this baby will be here soon!

I'm praying that Baby comes on his/her own without inducing (it's quicker than waiting until Saturday!) and that you stay as comfortable and encouraged as you possibly can. Thanks for the updates, we've been wondering. Hang in there!! =)

All 3 of you have our prayers!
Indeed though... next week, this time, you will have a beautiful babe in your arms... that is if you can get a turn holding s/he from all his/her relatives and loved ones, :)!

Hi there! We are praying for you. Jenni was induced too. We showed up that morning and the nurse tried to set our expectations very low by saying we may go home without a baby, but by 6:30 pm we had little Elizabeth! Induction was the way to go. We got up, showered, ate, drove to the hospital and put in 8 hours of waiting and then got a baby.

We're praying too, as you know! Dana's right...at the end of this, however it turns out, you'll have a babe in your arms. (That was good perspective for me, Dana!)
