Week 36

Made it to 36 weeks, but more challenges have presented itself. The midwife has taken me off the medication that has kept my contractions in check these past 5 weeks and I was warned that tomorrow I will feel more and intense contractions. In addition, the midwife is concerned that the medication may have been hiding a high blood pressure problem. Not sure what that will entail if I do have high blood pressure...Lastly, though the baby has made progress in getting her head down in the right position it's still not good enough for a VBAC and I might end up with a c-section if I go into labor. This is where I'm trusting in God and not putting any hope in what I desire but putting hope in God's good and perfect will. 

Psalm 23
1 The Lord is my shepherd.
He gives me everything I need.
2 He lets me lie down in fields of green grass.
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He gives me new strength.
He guides me in the right path for the honor of his name.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid.
You are with me. Your shepherd’s rod and staff comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me right in front of my enemies.
You pour oil on my head. My cup runs over.
6 I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
And I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Just a note to self:
My weight was 176 lbs.
The baby's heart rate was in the 140s bpm.
