Baby Update
At our appointment yesterday (40wks + 4 days) the Doctor said baby was nice and healthy and would be ok to wait another week. BUT then he said we was worried she was too big (4.5 kilos... yep, do the math) and might get her head or shoulder stuck during the birthing process. So, we compromised with him and set an induction date for Wednesday, March 23rd if she hasn't arrived by then. He said he'd try to deliver her naturally but I'm pretty sure he believes it will end in a C-section anyway. So, pray for us and that God's will would be done. Our number 1 concern is the safety of the baby so we'll do whatever it takes to get her here safely, even if it means things don't go exactly as we had planned for them to go.

Oh Laurie! You are on my heart and in my prayers. Just think, by this time next week you will be holding your little girl in your arms and whatever you have to go through to get her here will totally be worth it! God is in control. I have a really good friend here who is a christian and a doula. She was at Levi and Selah's births and loves to talk about all things labor and delivery. She has seen a ton of scenarios and could give you some tips and advice if things were to go other than naturally. Message me if you want her number-she is great! Praying for you, friend.
ReplyDeleteYou'll do great, Laurie! You gave her a good wait and the timing should be good for an induction now. I hope it "takes" easily and you get to deliver the regular way-- big babies are born that way all the time! But no matter how things progress, you'll have your little girl in your arms very soon now, how exciting! We'll be praying for you and will be on the edge of our seats to hear the good news of her safe arrival :)
