Pregnancy Week 34
Wow. I never thought I'd be typing "week 34". God is SO good to have carried us this far! Lily has turned back around and is head down again, so we're on for a regular birth! Yeah! I was so scared at the thought of another c-section. Otherwise, things are very quiet. We've had fits and starts of contractions, but that is just my body's MO. We're pretty much past the days of grabbing our bags and rushing to the hospital. But it is encouraging to know that my body is changing in preparation for this little girl's birth. The ultrasounds just tease us now. In the last several, the techs have marveled over how much hair she has (you can see it floating around in the amniotic fluid). At the most recent the tech predicted it would be curly! Another girl that looks just like her daddy, maybe? Every appointment makes me more anxious to meet this little one. Although my doctor won't stop me if I go into labor anytime after Christmas, I'm not holding my breath. We are tentatively planning an induction for January 17th (our options are the 16th, 17th, or 19th).
I've been keeping busy getting the house ready for Lily's arrival, cleaning and organizing and getting baby stuff set up. Generally driving Loren crazy "nesting". Our dear friends, the Deibels, threw us a baby shower last week, which was SUCH a blessing.
We were excited to get to see Loren's brother, Joel, last night, and his sister, dad and stepmom come on Saturday to stay for Christmas. What a blessed time of celebrating the birth of our Savior and preparing for the birth of our little girl. We serve a great and a good God, in times of want and times of plenty.
Hab. 3:17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
Hab. 3:18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
Hab. 3:19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.
Rejoicing in HIM,
The Bakers
