Update on baby

Well, we were hoping and planning to induce our little guy today, but it turns out this was not in God's plan. They are estimating him to be quite big, and I had some difficulties with delivery/recovery after Saylor, so my doctor was on board with trying to help him come early before he got too beefy. But, the amnio we did on Friday to double check his lung development came back negative; meaning his lungs are not ready yet. So, we have to wait a week more to induce.

I spent a lot of the weekend feeling pretty disappointed about this, mainly because both our OB and the Perinatologist who did the amnio felt sure his lungs would be fine. But, of course, I am glad to know our guy needs a little more time to in there and am thankful that we didn't induce without testing first.

We are currently making some decisions about how and when best to proceed to make this process easiest on both him and me. God is definitely using this situation to remind me that He alone is in control and to draw near to Him to trust that His plan is sovereign. We would appreciate any prayers for us in the next week and a half!

I am MORE than ready to meet this little one...cannot wait to finally see his sweet face and hold him in my arms. I know this will be a long week but in the big pictures just a blip. :)

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
James 4:13-17

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Romans 8:31-32
