The following is a post I made on my forum, Calling His Daughters Home.  Monday and Tuesday were very difficult days for me.  As I have mentioned before, in the weeks before birth I do ALOT of contracting and cramping.  It wears me out and I was very weary.  God, once again, carried me through and I am feeling MUCH better today!

"Thank you so much for the thoughts, prayers and even encouraging emails sent my way! Today has been MUCH better! I have a bit more energy and am getting a few more things done. I saw my midwife yesterday and baby's head is WAY down. She will "check" me at my next appt., which is the 25th. I was encouraged when she told me that baby is not a big baby. This is one of the reasons I begin to struggle with anxiety in the end. I have had very big babies, my biggest being 10~1/2 pounds at 10 days early. My first baby was 10 pounds. The births of my bigger babies were very difficult births.  My last baby, however, was 7 and 1/2 pounds at 37.5 weeks, so I know there is hope . Anyhow, the baby doesn't feel too big to me either and so that was very comforting to me, especially being my first natural birth after a cesarean!  The baby has also rolled from sunny side up to a side position, so I really don't think it will be too difficult to get the baby in the right position for birth.
Again, I appreciate the prayers so much. The last days of anticipating a new arrival can be so long. It is certainly a time when the Father keeps calling me back to His heart and to His PERFECT will.
Many blessings and love! "
