Week Forty

September 2, 2013 by Aliesha

Well I’ve reached 40 weeks once again, and this baby is going to have a September birthday!  I’m not really surprised, since I went to 41 weeks, 6 days with Vera and to 41 weeks, 2 days with Cordelia!  Read why I don’t think “40 weeks” is such a big deal.

With that said, I am struggling with wanting him to come now.  I’ve been facing a lot of pregnancy discomforts in the last week (I’ll spare you the details)!  Overall, though, I am very thankful to still be carrying a healthy baby.  My midwife seems to think he’s going to be big!  (Like 8.5 pounds or more…)

Things you can be praying for us:
-that I would have relief from the discomforts/difficulty sleeping I’ve been having the last few weeks
-that labor would start naturally without artificial induction
-that God would give me patience as I wait on His perfect timing for the birth of our baby boy
-that I would once again be able to have an unmedicated, natural birth
