Will she ever come out!?! I can say that I honestly did not think that I was going to make it this long. I thought she was going to come about 2 weeks early, but man was I wrong! She is hanging on tight in there. I honestly cannot believe that tomorrow I will be 40 weeks along. It blows my mind to think how fast this pregnancy has gone, that soon I will be in the hospital, soon I will meet this beautiful little girl God has blessed us with, and soon I will be a mommy forever! I am ecstatic but nervous as all get out as well. I know I will do fine in the delivery, I think it just may be the fear of the unknown. I have no idea what to expect. I hear so many different birth stories, people trying to scare me and people saying it wasn't bad at all. I know that every experience is different and I have to keep reminding myself of that. I am also nervous about raising a little girl. I want to raise her right, with good morals and her loving God. When I hear stories of kids these days and how young they are when they start getting into some pretty serious things, I get scared out of my mind. How in the world am I going to raise her so that she knows right from wrong and makes the right, Godly, decisions. I know this is something Matt and I will both have to lean on each other for and completely put our trust in God. Start praying now!
So, tomorrow I have an appointment in the morning and they will be doing a non-stress test on Gwendolyn to see how she is doing because of our last adventure we had. Then, we will be scheduling my induction. The doctors have decided they do not want me to go too far past my due date, so sometime soon after that we will be welcoming little Gwendolyn into this world. Induction wasn't our first option, and still may not be the way we will be going (depending on if she decides to let go and come on out on her own!) but we know it is all in God's timing. He knows what her birthday is, whether it be through induction or me going into labor without the induction.
Keep us in your prayers as we are very close to embarking on this new adventure in our lives. Hopefully next time I post, we will have pictures of our new little addition!
