Need to be quick as my bag has yet to be packed and last minute details to be thought through. Yesterday I received news that my amniotic fluid has dropped significantly and is measuring via ultrsound about half as much as it should be. The theory is that my placenta is deteriorating early or their is some obstruction in the cord preventing adequate blood flow to the baby and thus declining baby output (which is what most amniotic fluid is made of at this point). Because I was 37 weeks Wednesday and the baby looked great on ultrasound, my midwife thought induction to get this baby into our world would be a healthier option than letting her reamain in utero any longer. I already forgot once tonight that I am going to the hospital tomorrow to have a baby!! I put this list of famous men's thoughts about their mothers together a while ago and will offer it as encouragement to mothers out there or those who love their mothers! What an unparalleled and honorable role we serve!! My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her. All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother. Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children. The God to whom little boys say their prayers has a face very like their mother's. The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother. Men are what their mothers made them. Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.

. This is so different than going into labor naturally which has been my experience three times. I feel reassured after talking with my midwife today and several friends who've been through the induction experience. It's just such a different midset for me and I'm still not "all the way there" in realizing what's actually happening. It's quite surreal, but any childbirth experience has that element to some degree I guess. God willing, we'll have some wonderful news for you on my next post! Comments
