Prayer needed

So today I went back to the doctor. There is still no change in Savannah. Although her head is down...she has not "engaged." This means that she is not in my pelvic yet. This is cause for concern because my doctor thinks she may not fit. This also means my percent of a c-section just went from 10% to 50%. Andy reminded me that there is still another 50% out there but I am still scared about the thought of a c-section.

Here is the plan: Next Thursday I will go back to the doctor. This will be another doctor because my doctor is out of town. If nothing has changed I will go back to my doctor on September 8th to most likely schedule a c-section on September 9th.

Please pray that Savannah will stop being stubborn and drop down and come on her own in the next week. Also, please pray for my spirit. I am so ready to meet our little one that it is taking a toll on me each day that passes and we still don't have a baby. Andy is doing such a great job as a husband but I know seeing his wife crying isn't exactly fun for him. I will continue to teach and coach until next Thursday at which point I will start my leave no matter if she has come or not.

Start of School

Well today Andy and I officially started school again. We are both excited and a little sad but ready! The plan right now is to be at school until Savannah comes...I told me students today that I may leave in the middle of class :)
Aunt Randi and Aunt Amy will be flying into town this weekend so I am still hoping for something but if not we are excited to get to spend a couple of days with them.
I go back on Thursday morning so I will update then.

By the way...Savannah is still moving like crazy and she loves to kick when Daddy is playing at church!

Late...well maybe?

So today Andy and I went back to the doctor. Still no change. As upsetting as it was I just have to remind myself that God is in control. With that being said we are not scheduling an induction for the 28th. We are going to wait it out and let Savannah come on her own. The only little thing that happened is that my doctor seems to think I may be having problems with my gall bladder. I have been having a lot of pain in my upper abdomen and with my uterus and the baby pushing everything it may be inflammed or gall stones. I am going to the doctor tomorrow afternoon to get that checked out. Please pray that everything is okay and I just need to change my diet a little bit.

On another quick note...Andy and I are back in full swing with school. We both end teacher inservice tomorrow and kids will return on Monday. The plan right now is to teach until Savannah comes.

Lots of Prayer

As I stated in my last blog I was a little disappointed in my last doctor visit. This really started to get to me and two nights ago it came crashing down. I started crying to Andy just not understanding why she wasn't dropping, what if Randi and Amy can't be here for the birth, I feel like I am a huge whale, etc. After praying about it a lot and having my husband comfort me and laugh at me, I have decided that God is in complete control.
I know most of you are saying..."Duh Claire!" But when you hear over and over again "Still no baby"..."Wow you are big"...or my favorite "She is going to be huge." It really starts to eat at you. I have decided that I am just going to let God have the control again and know that he knows her birthday and we will be so excited when that day comes. With that being said I will be starting inservice for teachers on Monday and I will start back to school the 25th unless something changes.
I am just amazed at how much God has given me! I have a wonderful husband, an amazing family, friends that support me, a house, and a nursery all ready for Savannah. Not to mention the fact that it is the coolest feeling to have her moving inside of me! I don't understand how women that are or have been pregnant can not believe in God!

Thank you for your prayers and we go back to the doctor Thursday morning. If nothing has changed I will just know that Savannah still needs to cook and that will be okay with me!

On a side note...she has started to take her toes under my ribs and kick.

Disappointed but a healthy baby

Well I went back to the doctor today. Once again there is no change in my cervix which means she isn't coming any time soon. Next week we will decide if induction will even be possible on the 27th or 28th. I must say I am a little disappointed. I know that when she is good and ready she will come but right now that doesn't look like it is going to be any time soon.
However, Savannah is healthy and she weighs around 6 1/2 pounds which is a good weight. Let's just hope she doesn't get to big before she comes out.
Andy has started back to school and I start back on Monday so please just keep us in your prayers. I need to be ready for whatever God has in store for Savannah and myself.

Another week down

Andy and I went to the doctor today. Our doctor told us that although her head is down she is not in my pelvis yet which means another week! Today we are going to go to the mall with Tuck and also help her look for apartments so maybe the walking will help her move down :)

One great answer to prayer is that I am negative on Strep B. This was a concern because of family history but once again God has answered prayers and I am negative!

We go back to the doctor on Wednesday!

So Blessed!

I can't express to you how blessed I am. This weekend was my last shower before Savannah comes and once again I am amazed at how blessed I am.
I was given three different showers. My school threw me one, my friends from church, and my family. I just want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for the gifts and outpouring of love and support. Andy and I know that Savannah is going to be loved and spoiled once she arrives!

I will add pictures soon

Not anytime soon

Well despite the fact that I have been having contractions my uterus isn't responding! Andy and I went to the doctor today and everything looks great but he is pretty sure I will be close to my due date. I have to admit I was a little disappointed and also a little confused. After all I have been having a lot of back pain and contractions. But he says that it is all preparing me for labor.

We did talk to him about the possiblity of inducing the week before she is due. He informed us that he will be going out of town on August 29th so we would need to induce either the 27th or 28th. However, this is all if my uterus is ready. So we shall see!

By the way I am still hoping and thinking she might make an appearance before that!
