God Knows

God knows when Emily is coming. That's good enough for us. I am writing this roughly 2 hours after our appointment where we found out that there was practically no change for the 3rd straight visit. Amy is now at 39 weeks, 1 day and was dilated to 1 cm and approximately 70% thinned out. Her weight was roughly the same. Although the physician's assistant at the last appointment told us that our doctor would induce Amy if she were at 39 weeks, our doctor told us today that she would not consider inducing until 1 week past the due date. Now we're just hoping that Emily comes on her own. Emily is healthy with a good heart rate and is measuring normal. Her due date is Thursday, the 11th. Amy was born 10 days after her due date, but our Dr. assured us that we would induce labor around the 18th if Emily tarries. Our next regular appointment is scheduled for Wednesday the 10th. Part of us likes the idea of inducing labor b/c you are prepared and your family and friends are prepared; however, there's just something about letting it happen on its own that feels right, like God intended it. Ya know?

Anyway, I hope everyone had a Happy New Year/Jeremy's birthday. I did. Auburn's defense won another game for them, and later that night I saw what may have been the greatest college football game of all time. I stayed up late to watch Boise St. beat Oklahoma 43-42 in OT in the Fiesta Bowl. If we ever have a playoff in Division I-A football, this game will most likely be remembered as the game that helped bring it to pass. But I digress.

Who wants to start the baby pool? Emily will be born sometime between now and the 18th. Pick a day.
