A lot can happen in three days. Our Savior conquered death in a mere three days. So really NOTHING is impossible when you think of it in those terms. So that's what I'm clinging to because 3 days is all I have. (That made it sound like I'm gonna die. Wow!) Three days to get this baby out of me! The doctor said today that he's just hanging out in there being stubborn. I know that I could completely go into labor in the next hour and my little boy could be here tomorrow. God is so capable of that! But I'm also trying to balance that with the potential reality of another C-section. I'm trying to prepare my emotions for the possibility because I don't want to feel like a complete wreck come Friday morning at 5:30 am (that's what time I have to be at the hospital).
All that to say, I would greatly appreciate your prayers that this little boy comes naturally in the next couple of days. But if he doesn't, please pray for my emotions because I'm kind of struggling with the whole thing. The thought of not being able to care for Eva the way I would want to for the next several weeks is absolutely ripping my heart out. I know that she'll be fine and all of that. I really do KNOW all of those things, it's just a matter of my emotions agreeing. You know what I mean?
I will obviously keep you posted if and when labor begins! If you don't hear anything, I will at least have a baby boy by Friday morning! I cry just thinking about it. I love him so much already and can't wait to see his beautiful face!

Oh Haley!!! I will be praying for you and that no matter which way he comes that you will have a total peace.
Oh sweet friend, I'll definitely keep you in my prayers. I pray that your son will make his entrance before Friday morning, but if he doesn't, I pray for peace and quick healing. And don't worry, Eva will be so excited about the newest member of the family that she won't even notice that you can't pick her up for two weeks.
I will be praying so much as well!!! I know you don't want a c-section! I pray that it all comes naturally and you're home enjoying your family of four before you know it! :) Love you!!
i just prayed for you this morning!!!! Love ya!
Oh, Haley...YES, I will be praying for you to go into labor, and that if it's the Lord's will for you to have a c-section, that your emotions would be in line with what His will for your life is. I can't imagine what your heart feels like right now...just KNOW that you are being lifted up!!
Thanks, friends. I love all of you.
We are praying for you and for a safe delivery. But just want to comment that my 2nd c-section wasn't nearly as painful or difficult as the 1st and the recovery was much quicker so hopefully that will ease some of your worries. Can't wait to see pictures!!
Hey friend! I will defintely be praying for you. I remember having the same feelings about Addie when I had to be in the hospital with Jett for two weeks right after he was born. Addie did great, and I look back now and those two weeks just feel like a blink in time. I am so excited for you to meet your precious little boy! Love!
Oh Haley, I remember being in the exact same boat as you 10 months ago - emotionally & physically. I'll be praying for you !! I hope you're little guy will decide to come on his own before Friday.
Just in case you do have to have a c-section . . . I didn't think it was too hard to take care of Abby after my c-section. She did have to learn to climb on a chair to reach things because I couldn't pick her up, but she really rose to the challenge and did really well & my recovery didn't seem so long either. Maybe I was just too busy to remember it with two little ones to take care of. I'm so excited your little boy will be here by Friday !
