I'm having a baby.....on FRIDAY!!!

So, last Wednesday I had a dr's appointment and found out that labor will be induced on Friday. I have been having high blood pressure and the doctor called it mild pre-eclampsia, which, if left alone can become dangerous. I, of course, am excited, but this is such a huge change in our lives, I am feeling a little nervous as well. Will I be a good mom? Will labor be very very painful, even with an epidural? Will the relationship between Mike and I be different? Are we really ready for this? (this last question is really pointless to even think about....because it doesn't really matter...we are having a baby, we better be ready, but it still goes through my head every day). Then Mike reminds me.....when I stopped taking birth control forever ago, we prayed for God's timing in all this. That yes, we felt we were ready and wanted to begin our family, but that it happen according to God's plan, not ours. So, it took over a year to get to this point, I didn't even think I was pregnant when I found out I was, have had many complications and scares during this pregnancy, and yet I feel very peaceful about it all when I remember who creates life, and who is in control of my life. God must know we are ready and will be the best parents for this little one.....otherwise he wouldn't have blessed us with this life to raise.

  1. Your absolutely right. I think I have to remind myself constantly that that its not my plan but God's and sometimes I just say "ok whatever you want God." Especially when weird things happen, I always figure that God has some hidden agenda that only will make our relationship strong in our family and with God. Don't forget to go on dates though still with the hubby ;)
