WEll I am praying that this is my last belly picture! I had my appointment on thursday and I am now at 3cm, 65% effaced and Josiah is at 0 station. My midwife went ahead and stripped my membranes ( do not get that confused with rupturing my membranes ) I had some contractions afterwards for a while but alas nothing has come of it. She said if I did not go into labor by friday morning to call her and we would be scheduled for an induction on Sunday evening at 8 pm. I don't think that I will go before then on my own, so I am circling Sunday Evening! Being that I am already 3cm, I am praying that it won't take much to induce labor. I of course am still praying to go into labor on my own, but only the Lord can do that for me. I just keep praying that every contraction isn't in vain, and that God would just prepare my body and my mind for a healthy (and quick) labor and delivery.
I'm anxious to meet Josiah. To see his little squishy face, to look into his brown eyes! I've been praying for this special little boy for a long time. Not just when I found out I was pregnant, but for 2 years before that. We had been trying for almost 2 years to get pregnant, and at the time I did not know of course that I would be having a son, but I prayed that God would bless us with a child. A child that would love Him and serve Him. When we finally got pregnant, we prayed and thanked God. We continued to pray. When we found out we were having a son, I already knew what I wanted to name him, Josiah. I was reading my Bible and the story of King Josiah. I was impressed by King Josiah's desire and zeal for God. He chose not to be like his wicked father and grandfather. He had courage, and wisdom even at the age of 8.
I want my son to have that same zeal and courage. I want him to choose to love God and to serve God no matter what the world is like today or tomorrow!
So here we are waiting for my son to be born into this world. I am praying for a safe and healthy delivery and that God would be with me every step of the way....
