Beached

The other day I was avoiding some sort of physical movement and I said "I'm so lazy lately," my sister Heather responded ...

"you're not lazy, you're beached."

*

That about sums up how I'm feeling.

.

No real news on the baby. I'm dialated to almost a 3, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up that I'll go into labor before they induce me next Thursday. But I really do hope. I'm afraid my patience with the uncomfort, and my hope and faith are running out faster than the week will. Is there such a thing as running on faith fumes? If not - I may be inventing it as we speak.

.

We're doing another group fast this Sunday with our ward and families, if any would like to join us that would be awesome. Here in Lomax Land we are all pretty worn out, and we still have a long road ahead. To be specific: I need more faith, Mike needs health (he's been sick for almost two weeks now), Mylee needs peace (this has been and will be very hard for her), and the baby needs a miracle.

.

Again I thank all who have been so helpful and kind. I know we are being blessed by your prayers. I know that.

My sister is going to keep the blog updated when we have the baby...so hopefully her post will be the next one. Oh, I hope!

Three weeks left!

We just got back from the Perinatalogist and they have set an induction date of May 7th at 7:30 am (39weeks and 2 days). The tumor is still growing steadily (12.58 cm circumference today), but the baby still seems to be doing well. No further information on what to expect after he is born.

It looks like is going to be pretty small - he's only measuring in the 20th percentile. They say he'll be around six pounds on May 7th. Mylee was eight pounds five days early so that seems really small to me but the doctor says it is "not cause for concern."

*

Of course with my blasted gestational diabetes my first thought was "somebody get me a cookie!" But it was a no go - they would rather him be healthy than just big. Darn it:)

*

This cute bunny is for our baby boy. It sleeps in our bed every night, and we'll leave it with him for when we can't be with him at the hospital. It gives me comfort to be able to hold it and picture my guy dragging it around by one ear someday.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

Any ideas?

I need a new pediatrition (mine is "no longer practicing at this office" as of this week). Awesome timing isn't it? So, I'm wondering if any of you out there LOVE your pediatrition and would be willing to recommend him/her to me. Thanks for your help!
