If I don't go into labor on my own before Thursday, I'll most likely be facing a hospital induction. The reason my midwife doesn't want to allow me to wait longer is because our due date is so uncertain (as my dates were just an estimate) and I'm measuring a lot bigger and so is baby. There is a chance of meconium in the fluid so she's not comfortable breaking my water at home (which she's technically not allowed to do anyway). We're meeting with a dr tomorrow to get checked and have his opinion and we'll go from there. I'm praying and hoping I go into labor tonight. It's all in the Lord's hands though, which it always has been. This has just been a very emotional and mentally challenging day for me. It's hard to prepare your mind for something completely different than what you've been preparing and planning for for 9 months. I've had this song stuck in my head on repeat all week, quite fitting actually:
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, and to take him at his word; just to rest upon his promise, and to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him! How I've proved him o'er and o'er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust him more!
O how sweet to trust in Jesus, just to trust his cleansing blood; and in simple faith to plunge me neath the healing, cleansing flood!
Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, just from sin and self to cease; just from Jesus simply taking life and rest, and joy and peace.
I'm so glad I learned to trust thee, precious Jesus, Savior, friend; and I know that thou art with me, wilt be with me to the end.
