Monday Update

We went to the doctor's office this morning, but had to see a fill-in. My blood pressure was running pretty high and my protein is up. The nurse told me I would be heading to the hospital to have a baby today. She hooked me up to a monitor to check on Abe. When the doctor came in she told me the monitor looked pretty flat, but she'd give it another ten minutes. When she returned she said it didn't look great, but she would go ahead and schedule my induction for Wednesday or Friday. We saw this same fill-in on the 10th while the baby was still transverse and she told us the baby had no chance whatsoever to turn. She was ready to schedule a c-section two weeks ago. Needless to say, we're very glad she's not our regular doctor. She got me in Wednesday morning at 8:00, but the nurse called not long after we'd left and told me she had talked to my doctor and she wants me at the hospital tomorrow night at 10:00. So if the baby isn't here by then it looks like we will have Abraham on Wednesday. =) Please continue to pray for us. We're still hoping things will happen naturally. I really don't want to be induced.

praying for you and Abe. You can do whatever is ahead...trust me on that one. Isaiah 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Blessings
