I have had so many good thoughts for blogs this week - so many that I had to start making notes of my thoughts.....because in an instance my thoughts (or mood) change and I can't express them. So this post today is simply an update because the last two days have swept me off of my feet. I got a call yesterday from a nurse to schedule a c-section for this Friday the 10th!! What!!???? So, after trying to get in touch with the nurses and to make a very long story short......I spoke with the nurse this morning who got some clarification from my Doctor. He said that our goal has been to have time with Mary and since her weight is lagging behind he is getting nervous about waiting a week more. So....we are going in tomorrow (not Thursday) to see if Mary has turned and if I am more ready for induction. If she has not turned then we will probably be having a c-section on Friday.....if she has then he will induce on Friday and see how it goes from there. Needless to say I am filled with crazy emotions. I am praying that God will help me to turn over my "control" or lack there of, and let him give the Doctors and nurses the knowledge they need and to have faith that what is going to happen is what is right for us and Mary Grace. Besides praying for a total miracle this morning - I have prayed that all the other "stuff", all the other details will be taken care of by my all mighty God who spoke this amazing world into existance - pretty sure he can handle this one!!
I will give an update tomorrow after my appointment but wanted to have you pray for my emotions today. Thank you for your continued prayers and thoughts. I'm so thankful to be a part of the family of God.

Kim,
I am praying specifically for all these things, including that she will turn head-down, as that will allow you to be induced. KNOWING full well that God knows what is the very best, and has only the very best plans for you.

He is willing, He is able...and He holds you in the palm of His hand.
Praying for your family.
Kim,
I have been following your blog for awhile now, and praying for you and your family. My entire church family is as well. I (we) will continue to do so over the next days. I can't imagine the flood of emotions coming over you, as you are preparing to meet your daughter!
Thank you so much for being willing to share your story, and the day to day details of what you are going thru. You and the other blogging T-18 mommies and daddies have blessed me beyond words and helped me thru a difficult time myself--I just lost my fourth child to miscarriage. Your strength has been such an encouragement to me. Your faithfulness even more so.
Praying,

Kim,
Wow!! She will be here in three days...so hard to believe. I pray that God has given your doctor some special wisdom to make exactly the right decision as to the timing of Mary Grace's birth, and I will begin to pray that all of the other details will fall into place exactly as they should. Praying, praying praying!!
