4 more days until Ava is here!

39.5 weeks!
Being induced Jan. 29, 2007
We had our dr's appointment today and found that i was 2 cm dialated and 60 percent effaced. Dr. Mini said she could feel the baby's head, and she stripped my membranes. This was very pleasant -- ha!

we are very excited for this monday, jan. 29 to approach. we have been waiting for 9 months and can't believe the time is here. The Dr. asked if i wanted a "deadline" last week and i said, sure! We are going to go to the hospital this monday at 8 a.m. and are being induced then. I am going with the epidural and know that everything will go ok.

This has been just an amazing time, and i feel so blessed right now in my life. Sometimes the hardest things in life are def. the most worth it - being prego for 9 months hasn't been easy, but the reward is going to be so great. I just believe that God is so great and he is so gentle with us. Even when we are the most weak, he is there and moves mountains to move our hearts closer to him. He is just so good. I look back on last year and at this time i was having surgery to even have Ava. We were going to a fertility specialist to have surgery to have Ava and the Dr was talking about all of our choices. I guess we prepared ourselves for whatever God had for us and can't believe how good God was. This was the perfect time to have Ava "But when it pleased God. . ." Galatians 1:15

I can't wait for monday.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
