First time for everything!

No, I have NOT had this baby!

He is very accustomed to his environment ;)

Actually I have had several blessings, and we spent allot of energy on Sunday with prayer, we finally got some answers, (I think)

This baby, has grown a very short cord.(Is that a sign of things to come, am I going to have a hard time raising my boys with short cords, since they wont want to leave their momma?)

Any way....

He is not able to drop down into the birth canal because of this, so we meet the Dr. Thursday. He says we will see if we can monitor contractions, and see if baby can tolerate a vaginal birth.

If his heart rate drops significantly during a contraction, then we have a problem, I don't foresee not being able to do this vaginally, however we have decided to birth in the hospital for our safety net.

It is what the Lord has asked us to do.

It has taken ALLOT of tears, and prayers and humility to be willing to go to the hospital, after I have so diligently planned a home birth. I will be humble, and I will accept the answer to prayer. Hopefully this means we will be greatly blessed, not only with a smooth delivery, but a healthy baby as well!

Thanks for your prayers, and Love, and concern.

Big Momma.
