"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)

Well folks, we finally have a date! Woohoo! I am scheduled to be induced February 5th! That will put me right at 38 weeks. My appointment yesterday went really well. I think our little girl was showing off for the ultrasound tech. She showed her breathing movements right at the start. And the ultrasound tech. said her breathing movements were really strong which is excellent! So I am just continuing to praise and thank God that we are both doing well!
I have another ultrasound on Monday. Then I have the monitoring next Thursday as well as a regular prenatal visit. At that particular appointment, the midwife will be checking my cervix to see if anything is happening. My prayer is that by next Thursday, my cervix will have already begun the process. This will make inducement much easier and will likely mean they won't have to do as much to help the labor along. If my cervix has already begun the beginning steps (which I think is called ripening or thinning and so forth) by Thursday, then maybe I'll be able to go into labor on my own instead of having to use any inducing medicines. The midwife who will be with me for labor and delivery said she tries to go as natural as possible when inducing. So she will do the least that needs to be done in order to get things rolling and will also employ natural methods to help things along. I am thankful for that. I want things to be done as natural as possible.
I laid around a lot today. Didn't do much. By the time my hubby got home from work, I was restless. My whole family sat around the table and played a game of Sequence. Me and my daughter against my hubby and my son. Yep - us girls won again!!! Woohoo! After dinner, I got to get out for a little drive to the store. My hubby drove and the children and I went along for the ride. I didn't get out and go into the store - I just stayed in the car. But it was nice to just get out for a little drive. I am so thankful that I am not on complete bedrest. I think it would drive me nuts! :)
Glad you have a date set now and that all looks good. Good you are getting some rest, but glad you got out a little too. I was on modified bed rest with both my babies, although I wish the dr. had explained more clearly what "modified" meant then - I think I did more than I should have. The babies wanted to come early and even loading the dishwasher would start contractions. Rest up - it's only 11 days away!!! (((Happy For You)))
I've gone through and read about our pregnancy. I am so glad that things are going better for you now. I will certainly keep you and your family in my prayers.

The ultimate goal of Christian home education is to train children to impact the world for God. We want our children to not only hear and learn God's Word, but also be doers of God's Word. Therefore, we strive to teach them:
SERVICE - How to serve God and others
ACHIEVEMENT - To do the best they can in all they do from academic subjects to chores to serving others and more
LOVE - To love God and one another
TRUTH - To live their lives based on the absolute Truth of God
The name of this blog is the acronym for these four areas that we strive to teach our children:
S.A.L.T. - Service, Achievement, Love, Truth
