My Drs. Appt. and other happenings.
And it is true...I DON'T HAVE GD THIS TIME!!! WOW!!! I can't believe it.
I spoke with my doctor about my wishes to NOT be induced and she seems hesitant. She is afraid that I will go fast and doesn't want me delivering in an un-ideal place b/c of my history with postpardum bleeding. I am kinda at a loss as what to do. I like the idea of having my body just go into labor(that has never happend before b/c I was always induced), but then again...I don't want to risk the health of Kendell. FRUSTRATING! There is also some good in knowing the day so that I can have a sitter and everything ready. GRRR...so I don't know what to do.
Please if you have any advice I would love to hear it. And if you could pray for peace for Sean and I we would really appreciate it. The insurance company paying Sean for his injury isn't being as punctual with his checks as we would like and Sean's pain level is really high. We are taking the next steps to ensure that he gets the care that he needs and although we feel like we are in a better place on this journey, it is still difficult to see Sean is such extreme pain. Especially when I know that he is not a complainer. That is my job!
Thanks in Advance!

I was thinking/praying for you guys yesterday & all I could come up with was, "What is God telling you?" about your labor/delivery. We shouldn't do/not do things out of a spirit of fear. You know He will take care of you. Would you regret never having been able to labor naturally {without inducement}? If you've never not been induced, do you really have any way of knowing how fast/slow you will labor naturally? You can still have everything ready with a sitter "on call". Those are just some things I came up with to think about. I really don't have any advice from personal experience. I have never been induced, but have always had pitocin. I am forever wondering if my labors would've been better without it.
I think that is the driving force behind my decision. I actually feel quite confident in my ability to even birth at home with just my dh there. It really is in the aftermath where I find fear. Because of my history of post-partum hemmorage, home birth is not an option. I also DO enjoy my epidurals, but wonder if I always felt "slammed" into labor b/c of induction. I want to know that my body can do it. I want the surprise element of when it will happen. And honestly...I want every moment of these next few weeks with Kierstin as my youngest to last. I know that this is going to happen but I am still in denial a bit about how it will change our family. We certainly appreciate the prayer and need it in more areas than just the new baby. I am more stressed about Sean's health than that of myself of Kendell right now.
Thanks!
