Update from the Midwife

We visited the midwife yesterday, and she gave a good report for both Evan and me! Praise God!
With the way things are progressing, he could come any day now!! Evan's head is tucked snugly in my pelvis, and Emma says that usually she doesn't see babies positioned this low until partway through labor. What a good little boy! He has a very strong heartbeat, and she says that he seems to be an exceptionally healthy baby. =) We sure can't wait to meet him!!
If you could just be in prayer that I wouldn't be too anxious during these last couple weeks, and that when the time comes labor will be good. Pray also for my labor helpers and coaches, that God would give them strength and wisdom to care for me through that time! I am not afraid, only nervous about what I have never experienced before.... I have faith that the Lord will hold my hand and things will be wonderful, despite any complications that may arise.
Happy Tuesday! Remember to smile and find joy in the little things of life.

Prayer

I would like to ask that when you think of baby Evan (you probably don't as often as I do, but that's okay ;) you say a quick prayer for me. On my latest prenatal visit we discovered that I have been struggling with very low blood sugar levels. This is not dangerous for Evan, unless I faint and hurt myself! It is not healthy for me however, as it makes my body work too hard trying to balance the amount of glucose in my bloodstream... and in the process I get to feeling sick and often get very dizzy. This morning I talked for a good while on the phone with a mom who has dealt with blood sugar issues through all 8 of her pregnancies - Wow! She was so encouraging and helpful!! Praise God for letting her help me during this time!
I would so appreciate it if you would just keep me in prayer as I do have a lot of changes to make and stick to a rigid diet. It will be more than worth it when we finally get to meet little Evan Michael! :D
God is good... all the time! He never leaves His children alone.
Have a great weekend everybody!!

Doctor Visit!

I have a doctor appointment this afternoon! =) I'm not feeling good at all today.
Thankful for your prayers! Hopefully I'll be on the way to being over bronchitis real soon!!

Bronchitis - oh no!

Hey everyone,
I would really appreciate your prayers as I have been dealing with Bronchitis for three weeks now. I have been on two rounds of antibiotics, which helped some but just didn't kick it! The plan is to visit my doctor tomorrow afternoon and find out what to do next. I'm tired most of the time, as well as generally feeling "yucky". The chest heaviness and pain are hard to deal with while I'm at work, and it's really wearing me down!
Thanks for following the blog... I know it's been kind of boring lately. :( I haven't given it up, though - never fear!
Blessings in Christ,
