May 27 I'm a little… anxious.

There, I said it… I’m a little anxious. I’ve been hesitant to express that feeling to anyone because I’m really trying not to focus on it… but here it is, that subtle pit in my belly… I’m anxious. We’ve been talking about baby girl’s arrival for so long now as the first marker of a season of life that holds a lot of change for us- and these past few days I’ve been finding myself trying to dig my heels in the sand to hold on to “status quo” just a little bit longer.
I’m anticipating, but also anxious about my daughter’s delivery. I know that God is in these moments with me… He will be there as her story of being born unfolds… and I do experience peace when my mind is stayed in that place. But I also have an adversary, who has frequently been trying to remind me of how events unfolded when Silas was born… and it has been a mental and emotional struggle to combat some of that… so pray for me!
I’m actually getting ready to head off to an OB appointment… where the doctor is going to do a little procedure to try and get my body headed towards labor (if I’m dilated at all).. which makes me feel like the countdown is really on. This gives me both some giddy laughter of nervous excitement… and makes me want to run to the bathroom with these butterflies in my tummy. So… here I go…

Amy….WOW. Praying. If you can send a text to Alece or have Dave post a blog or something so we can all pray even harder during labor. Love you. Praying. Jesus is Lord in the delivery room!

you have butterflies in your tummy?
Man. It’s a crowded place in there.
My friend loves you abundantly and smiles every single time she gets to share with someone that she gets to see her friend give birth to a beautiful girl.
Kindness oozes out of you, and I’ve never even met you. It exudes out of your smile and the compliments from Alece.
Praying that you’re able to focus on the God you serve who will be with you during that time.

anxiety… I thought I was the only one in that camp today! we turned in our paper work on Friday…our ball is rolling and there are times when I just want to stop it and enjoy today. Do we HAVE TO move forward!?! It’s so scary….but the reward, Jesus knows. He knows. He knows.
Know that I am sooooo praying for peace for you and Dave.
And…every pregnancy is different, and you have all of us in blog world praying for you this time!
AND…your dear friend Alece asked if you could wait till June 1st… don’t you think you could honor her request!?! lol
Love, hugs and prayers!

Yay! The time is finally here!! My prayers are with you as the next days to weeks unfold. Those words I don’t speak lightly; I know the trepidation that you feel. Close your eyes and let God take the wheel. May His presence bring you all the peace your soul needs as this advenure unfolds. Love you!

Praying for you! That anxiety of waiting is tough isn’t it? I guess it doesn’t get any better with 2nd pregnancy huh? I remember when people would talk to me about delivery and such I would get butterflies too and have to excuse myself and run to the loo!
Praying for a smooth delivery for you and baby Alece!!!

okay girl. I know you are anxious. I know that you are tired of “how are you doing.” But if you are not going to post every couple of days to say that there is nothing new, then we don’t know and HAVE to ask. So this is me pestering you. In love of course
Still praying for your safety and for Baby Alece, as well as Daddy and Silas.
And, it is now June 1st, as Alece had requested.
Love, hugs and prayers,
Jane
