Pregnancy Update

Just a quick pregnancy update for those who are wondering. I'm now over 39 weeks and still no baby here! My doctor thought I would have gone into labor by now, especially considering all the pre-term contractions, but no luck. I've been dilated to 3 cm for two weeks now and the baby is as low as she can get, but we are still waiting. I had forgotten how uncomfortable the last couple of weeks can be......hopefully this will happen soon! I also have strained my back, which apparently is easy to do with the stretching of the ligaments around the spine, and the last couple of days have been pretty miserable. It's hard feeling so helpless and immobile....reminds me of how out of control I really am of my life and how I need to lean on my Creator for strength and comfort.

"Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:7-8

"This is what God the Lord says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 42:5-7
