Baby Update

I'm 37 weeks!
Just to give everyone an update and ask for you to pray about a couple of things. I've been 3 cm dialated for about a week. Doc wants me to rest as much as possible when I'm not at work to try to extend it a little bit. She said it could be ANY time! So if you get a chance please pray:
  1. That I would trust in God's timing. If labor starts tonight, or if it's not until after my due date. Pray that I would not be anxious and have peace about whenever that is! And ENJOY my last days of being pregnant no worrying.

  2. Of course we desire a healthy baby. Pray for God's hand to continue to prepare this baby to enter this world. AHHHH crazy!

  3. Teaching... Everyday seems to be getting harder. The students are already getting excited for summer and their motivation is already slipping. Honestly, mine is too to come to work! Everyday I think, "Should I take a sick day" :) Pray that I would have a better attitude coming to school, and that the students will work hard the next couple of weeks.

  4. Pray that God would be preparing Andy and I as we enter into parenthood. We have been trying to be intentional with our time together and really taking advantage of these last few weeks where it's just him and I. The thought of this makes me a little sad, but I do realize what a blessing a little baby will be to our marriage as well. He had been SO GREAT! I see his excitement and his willingness to make me feel comfortable and loved. I praise God for him! But yeah, that we are getting prepared for parenthood.

Thank you EVERYONE!
Last weekend at 36 weeks! Whoa MAMA! This baby is getting BIG!

8 months

Praying for you and this little one and for Andy too. You are in for a shock soon! A good one though! I am amazed that you are still thinking straight enough to cherish these last few days/weeks!! We are so excited for you both!
