Here Comes Baby!!
Not ours...yet!! We are so excited for the Moogs who just welcomed a baby girl into this world yesterday. I have been blessed by Nat's journey during her pregnancy & really enjoyed having another woman to confide in during the roller coaster parts. Baby Moog came a few weeks early so I think they are still deciding on a name (they didn't know the gender either!) and are still waiting on that carseat that's coming in the mail! If anyone can handle unforeseen situations, it's the Moogs! And even with all the abrupt earliness, I think she still went natural (although they had planned a home birth as well)!! Solid work, Nat!! It's been a great reminder for me that I need to hold all desires loosely before the Lord. Even our home birth is wholly dependent on His will. Flexibility is key!! Congratulations, Nat & J for your precious little girl. She is so blessed to have you both as parents! Here's a couple of pics from Nat's shower a few weeks ago.

that's the best way to look at it.
so many women go into labor/delivery wanting things to happen a certain way, their perfect way, all natural; wanting anything and everything but a cesarean... and they end up leaving the hospital with a c-section scar.
in my opinion the best birth plan is no plan. your main goal is a healthy baby and a healthy mom.
Good points, Tara!! Healthy is very important, but I still think that having a plan is a good idea...just like we make plans for other life areas-- buying a house, marrying the one we love, deciding to vaccine our children, what to feed them, etc. But more importantly, God's the one fully in control. And no labor situation is a *surprise* to Him...so it's good to keep Him in the plans & know submitting to His plan is best! A "perfect way" can potentially do more harm, than good. But it's still good to prepare & pray about those desires in our plans! :)
Glad you're holding everything in perspective, Jess. :) Keep up your hopeful and excited spirit!
(it's funny I saw your post because my friend, who's now 40+ weeks pregnant and had been planning an all natural birth center delivery just found out her baby is breech - they'd mistaken it's position this whole time...she's going through the same struggle of being disappointed about potentially needing a c/s, but still celebrating her baby, regardless of how it comes into the world :)
Oh no, Ams! That's rough. Did they not do a 36 week ultra-sound? Our midwife is having us do one so there's no surprises about where baby, umbilical cord, etc are. But we are still really excited & hopeful for the best. And if disappointment comes, we'll embrace that too! :)All part of the learning curve of life!! God's good at the refining thing, huh?! ;)
And I can't believe you only have 20 more days to go!! You must be getting super excited!! :)
