Update on my dr appt yesterday!
You may not believe it, but ONCE AGAIN, my dr's appointment yesterday was a complete non-event! WOO HOO, praise the Lord for His faithfulness!
I had prayed so much before I went, really all afternoon on Sunday, and all morning Monday as I prepared to go. I really just want my faith and my choices and my walk to be a testimony to Dr. G. She is definitely not a Christian, and she is obviously not happy, and she really needs Jesus in her life!
Normally, though, because she is such a strong personality, I become emotional when talking to her, because she intimidates me often! She was in the Air Force for more than 20 years, and she is a tough cookie! Very opinionated, one could say. ;) I often leave in tears!
I felt peace on Monday, though. I wasn't sure what to expect from her. When we arrived (I took my mom and all four children, to see the sonogram), it was pouring rain---YAY!!! Hadn't done THAT in Dallas in a long while, and it rained most of the day, delightfully! ....but we left the diaper bag in the van, and ended up waiting in the dr's office for the sonogram for over 45 minutes, with no snacks, no juice cups, no crayons, no wipes, etc etc. (Thank goodness we never needed the diapers, haha!).
The children actually did pretty well, playing "I Spy" and entertaining everyone else in the waiting room--at one point, 2 other ladies were actually guessing the objects in the game along with the children, haha!
The sonogram was great, meaning the baby is doing fantastic, but there wasn't much to see since I am now 39 weeks, and baby was pretty tightly curled up! Size was great (prob around 8 lbs), baby is head down, fluid level was great, etc etc. Baby got a good grade! ;)
So, then I went back to wait on Dr. G. She came in and greeted me, and measured me, and asked the usual checkup questions. She never once mentioned c section, never once asked to do a cervical check (she probably noticed that I had refused the past 2 weeks at my visits), and neither one of us mentioned that Elephant on the table, HA! She then said, "Do you have any questions for me?". I said, 'no', and she said, "Okay, well I'll see you next week, unless you have a baby before then!". I told her I hoped that was the case! She did come out to the waiting room with me to meet my children.
WHEW!!! What a relief !!! I could hardly believe it was so easy. Thank you Lord! and thank you soooo much for all your prayers, dear friends! I know it is helping, and I really feel convinced that this upcoming birth will be a spiritual victory for Him. I know it will minister to many! Thanks for standing with us!

Glad things are going well. My midwife asked me today if I wanted to do an ultrasound, not like she was suggesting it... because she wasn't. But it felt good tell her the only reason I'd get an ultrasound was for EDD's, and then it was only so that I could fight the doctors to the very day in order to ward off talks of induction. Since I don't have that "fight" problem with Peggy then all this stuff is a non-issue. In fact, I think I've forgotten a lot of statistics and medical knowledge this past year simply because I haven't needed the ammunition. Ahhhhhhh! Write in your blog whatever you want, sweety. That's what I do. And if someone has a real problem with it (like Ceil and her friend did) then I gently remind them that it is *my* blog, and if they can't handle it then they don't have to read it. Then I remove them from my list of readers. I'm mean. But I don't pay $12/year for the privacy feature for nothing! HAHAHAHH!

How exciting your little one will be born soon! I enjoyed reading what was on your heart about your doctor and your family's witness to her. I pray the Lord's presence and love would be known by her! Holly
