And We're Off!

We head out tomorrow morning for our trip to Alabama. We will be flying to Huntsville and meeting up with my parents and brother to spend a few days with my mom's family. Then we will drive with my parents to Georgia to spend a few days with my dad's family and then drive back to Alabama for a little while longer and then fly home on Sunday. Today we are doing tons of laundry and list-making and packing. Wow, there's a lot of stuff involved when traveling with a baby!!!

If I may ask a favor, please, please pray for us as we travel! I have already shared how much I adore flying (see, I'm trying to be positive!) and traveling with a three month old just kind of adds to the craziness of it all. Fortunately, Paul is super excited and jumps at the chance to travel by plane any time he can, so his enthusiasm is usually {somewhat} contagious. But we would all greatly appreciate your prayers. I will try to update the blog while we are gone, but if not, stay tuned for many many pictures of Charlie with all of his extended family on my side! :)

Oh and just to throw it in there...

... a picture of a very sleepy boy after a very busy morning at church that involved lots of fussing and sweating (on my part!) and hardly any sleeping. :) Have a good blog-week, friends, see you next week!

Wednesday is the Day!

So I had my dr.'s appointment, and unfortunately I still have not progressed! But, the doctor had already said he did not want me to go past 42 weeks, plus, the amniotic fluid is looking a little low, so he wants to induce Wednesday, April 9th! So that is the plan! We go in at 5 am that morning!

I feel a mix of emotions right now: so excited to know it will be so soon, a little disappointed because I really didn't want to be induced, really grateful that we didn't have to make the decision to induce (the amniotic fluid thing really made it for us), and a little nervous because I have a greater chance of needing a c-section by the end of the day if I still have not dilated. But I know in the end none of it will matter because we will be holding our little boy so soon! If you think to pray for me over these next few days, please pray for peace and for my over-achieving cervix to dilate at least a little before Wednesday. :) Thank you!!!

Carly will hopefully be updating the blog for me on Wednesday so everyone can keep track of Charlie's arrival!
