Ready or Not!

Here she comes!

As most of you know, Miss Margaret Gray has decided to stay breech. In the morning, I'll go in to have an "external version" , where they try to manually turn the baby. Doesn't sound that pleasant to me, but I figured it was worth a try. If Margaret is willing to be turned, then they will induce me shortly after. If she is comfy how she is, I will have a c section.

Honestly, I had been looking forward to an easier, faster labor, delivery, and recovery, and seeing that a c section is major surgery, I'm kind of bummed about that option.

But I have to remember that Margaret being healthy is the most important thing, no matter how she arrives into this world.

It's been a crazy, emotional past few weeks, and I have found comfort in the following verse:

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7

My sister in law, Megan, passed it on a few years ago, and it's stuck on my bathroom mirror.

It's a good one! and I'm so thankful that God does offer peace amongst stressful times.

So here we are getting ready for Margaret Gray's arrival:

Tom reading one last story to Henry, as the only child.
I had planned to go get a manicure, but that never came to fruition. So I painted my nails bright pink. I know that several years ago, celebrities painted their nails funky colors.... don't know if that's still the trend, but hey! I might have surgery tomorrow and my nails make me laugh.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. They mean the world to us!

So that's that! We'll let you know how things go!
