Nearing 39 weeks

I have been so frustrated with my computer because for some reason I have been unable to use it lately so I have been out of touch with everyone. So here is my quick update. I am still pregnant and doing well. I have not had as much pain lately which is good because honestly I would be crazy by now considering she is still in my belly. There have been days I have just wanted her to come but I am also learning to be patient. There have been many good reasons that she hasn't come yet. One reason is she is still growing healthy in my belly and another reason is all of the boys in my house have been sick with some but they can't seem to shake off. We are convinced that Lord has deliberately not allowed for our baby girl to come into this world because it would be so hard to keep the boys away from their sister.

My parents will be traveling up here for their 2 week vacation starting on the 9th and my actual due date is the 12th so maybe she will just wait until they get here which is also a plus because at least the boys will have family they can hang out with. We already have arrangements made in case she does come a little early but we just don't know the time she will actually come.

My last doctors appointment went good and I had passed my mucus plug on Sunday and I was at a 2 as far as dilation goes. My midwife told Alex I would probably have the baby within a few days but it has been a few days and no baby has come yet so once again we have to chalk it up to a baby will come when they are ready. I am partly convinced I will be pregnant forever but I know that is not true. I will keep you updated as the time comes and I can only hope it will happen soon. Who knows we may end up having to discuss induction at my next appointment on Monday because my midwife doesn't like for any of her patients to go too far over their due date.

More updates to come soon as we are nearing the end...

She will come in His perfect time. Looking back, you will see what perfect timing it will be. Hang in there, little mama.

He will gently lead those that are with young...
