Week Forty-One

February 22, 2012 by Aliesha

Well, I made it to week forty-one again!  In keeping with tradition, I’ll forgo a picture this week (not because I care that much, but because my camera is already packed for the hospital).  All our bags are ready to go!

As I explained yesterday, I am scheduled for an induction tomorrow morning.  It is still my prayer that labor would start naturally before then, but I am at peace knowing God will take care of us no matter what!  I am meditating on lots of encouraging and uplifting passages of Scripture, like these.  Thank you to all of you who left such sweet and encouraging comments on yesterday’s post.  It’s wonderful having friends like you to support me with love and prayers right now!

I’ve been getting things ready today (laundry, etc.) and just enjoying my time with Vera.  We took a walk together earlier (the weather is gorgeous!).  My mom is coming into town tonight, and I can’t wait to see her!

In other news, I measured my belly because I was curious.  I’m 38 inches around at the widest point!  I really wish I had measured with Vera because I’d like to know if I’m bigger/smaller/the same size this time.  For some reason, I felt bigger with her, but that could have been due to the summer heat and all of the swelling in my legs/feet. 

So… I’M HAVING A BABY TOMORROW!  Can’t wait for you all to “meet” her!!!!

Week forty-one with Vera.

    yeah!!!

    I was going to suggest that you and Tad should get out a little tonight!! I remember my mom came almost a week before Lydia actually came (I was a week overdue). Brian and I got TWO dates pre-Lydia:) It was a NICE way to start a family of 5 because after those dates it was a LONG time before we had another;)

    Prayers for you all! Call if I can do ANYTHING! I”ll leave my cell in a FB message;)

    Oh, Aliesha, you have been in my thoughts and prayers so much during the past few days! I’m so very excited for you as you welcome this new blessing from God. I’m also quite relieved that your mom is with you…isn’t that silly? πŸ˜‰

    Thanks for linking to those verses; I am definitely going to meditate on those myself in the next weeks as I approach my delivery.

    I hope your heart is at peace right now. I’ll continue to pray for you and will be eager to hear any news!! πŸ™‚ Warm hugs to you and your dear mom!
