I'm not in the hospital having this baby...yet. I really hope soon, like before Wednesday when I am scheduled to be induced...I know I am the one that agreed to the induction (my doc suggested it), and by Wednesday if baby sister hasn't decided to come on her own, I know I will be ready to give her eviction papers...but I am totally psyching myself out - after inducing all 3 previous labors, I no longer have the luxury of ignorance about the proceedings, I know too much about the process and am dwelling on the negatives instead of the positives of the past experiences...so prayers for the situation would be greatly appreciated, either for my peace of mind or for the baby to come on her own before we kick her out.
I don't know that I am progressing towards labor too much, but really who can predict when they will go into labor anyway? I have spent the day nesting I believe...cleaned out the flower bed in the front yard, swept, rearranged closets, organized all of the kids books, gathered up all of my maternity clothes - (those suckers will not last long in this house! - anybody need some?), got out some more baby things, did dishes, cooked a couple of meals for future eating, and cleaned the bathrooms...plus still had enough time to nap and hit Sonic happy hour with the boys. Pretty productive day anyway, even if its not official nesting. I want to rearrange my living room in a bad way - haven't gotten the courage to tell Steven though - he's the one that would have to do all the moving and it involves unhooking and rehooking electronic components - something I know nothing about!
Anyway, hope to be able to post some pictures of our new baby very soon...but probably after Wednesday.

When Lindy and I were having our bi-monthly chat and prayer time last night she expressed concern over you being induced. So we will definitely keep you both in our prayers.
Our friends from Growth Group, Karri and Mike, had their baby Sunday, over three months early. Jenna is in NICU at St. John's, but is doing much better.
there is nothing to be concerned about with it really - its all I know - I just really know the extreme contractions that are involved with it too!
Remember Lindy was the one that stayed at the women's conference longer than she should have because she brought a friend she was witnessing to and she wanted her to stay through the whole conference. Lindy ended up getting to the hospital and having Moses a very short time later! I don't think she was at the hospital for more than 2-3 hours with Zoe either. She was having back labor on a Saturday morning and wasn't sure what to do. She called me because she couldn't reach her mom or mother-in-law! Like I have ever had a baby! I called my mom to ask her and then called Lindy back and told her to get to the hospital ASAP. What a goof! We'll see how she does this time :)
thats the kind of labor experience I would prefer - I labor very quickly as well, except most of the time I am stuck in a hospital bed hooked up to the medicine waiting for the really intense contractions to hit...I think if my body would decide to begin labor on its own, it would be very similar to Lindy's experiences...
