baby update

Baby Update: I saw my OB Friday and he says everything sounds and looks great. He was thrilled with my test results from my last appt which was encouraging. We mostly had a question and answer session and I got a lot of answers that I liked. I am struggling between two views of birth. The first being the modern, medical side of birth. Being a nurse I want to trust that technology, medications and montioring are all safe and helpful for labor and delivery. The second part is the woman in me who knows that God created my body to be able to give birth and that I don't need all these "intervention" to help me do it. My Dr's advice is to keep an open mind and to be flexible. As he said, I've not done this before so I don't know what I'm in for. I continue to try to educate myself and pray for direction and peace of mind.
Kayler's room is now painted and we'll be assembling the crib soon. I'm so excited to get it done. I know that this is just one more thing on my busy husbands "to do" list so I'm trying not to put any added pressure on him. He's working so hard. God has truly blessed me with a hardworking man. I know he is doing is all for our future and I'm so grateful for that. Someday soon it will all pay off.
This morning I read the update on my friend Jenni's baby, Granton. He had a bit of a scare last night as he spiked a temp, his BP and HR shot up and he was vomitting. I pray that all has not settled down and that the Dr's will find what the problem was and take care of it. I lift him up to God for Him to watch over and heal. They've been through so much and it's been such a long battle. I pray for continued strength for Jenni and Daniel and healing for Granton.
The weather has been beautiful her for the past few days. It's only been about 80 and not very humid at all, not at all like normal MO August weather. I hope to get out today and enjoy it by taking my dog, Libby, for a walk. It will be good for me to stretch my legs too and walking is such a great exercise for pregnancy.
