Another Update

So Preston and I decided to cancel our induction on Saturday. It's been a pretty emotional and, quite frankly, depressing day for me. I was very torn about it after we talked it over last night. I had come to a place where I could actually see the end in sight and knew that I would be holding my son really soon but now I'm back to feeling like it will just never happen. I felt a little better after crying like a baby to my mom though. But even through all the hormonal emotions I don't regret the decision...I think we did the right thing. Thanks to all of our parents and siblings for being so understanding at the last minute even after you had made plans and even bought plane tickets to be here in the next couple of days. We're just going to wait it out and let Chase decide when he wants to come (that is unless he's over a week overdue at which our doctor strongly suggests that we induce at that point). So we'll see how it goes. Another reason for my foul mood today was that I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep. I had pretty strong contractions from then until about 10:00. They were about 15 to 20 minutes apart that entire time....then they just went away. As you know I've had Braxton Hicks contractions like forever but I really thought that this might be it. Imagine my disappointment. The rest of the day has been just the usual contraction every hour or so. Tomorrow is a new day though. Maybe I'll go mall walking again and treat myself to a cookie...or two. :)

I think you are making a smart decision, Sara. I'm sure that was a really hard one to make, but I really admire you for choosing to wait. God's timing is not ours! Chase will be here before you know it, everything will be perfect. You will get to hold him in your arms and say, "Yeah...it was ALL worth it." I can't wait to hear about it! I love you and am praying for ya'll.
