I am up early this morning. It is getting harder to sleep comfortably, well harder to even move in the bed lol. I find myself in an unexpected position. I am anxious to meet Noah, and wonder often, was that a contraction? But I feel enveloped with great peace that he will come at precisely the right moment. I pray that I will know for certain that I am in real labor. (No more false alarms, please! I have a bad history of that.) I pray that those helping me will not be inconvenienced. I pray that the birth will be peaceful and all present will be at ease and trusting YHVH. And somehow, this time, I know He has heard my prayers. I know He takes care of His own. I thank Him ahead of time for the amazing time that it will be. Will it be today? He knows. Noah knows. But they aren't telling me yet lol.
I came across
this birth story this morning. (Thank you, Lusi, for linking to this site.) She put into words my hopes and dreams for my sixth baby also. I hope you are blessed by it. No matter what circumstances come our way, we should have this perspective.
It is the first story, "Why I chose faith, a homebirth story."
Shabbat Shalom!
I LOVE Hebrew baby! Thanks for reminding me about them! I go through stages where I watch a bunhc of their stuff then forget and go back. :-) What a precious things they are doing there to encourage the families!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was such a sweet story :) Love baby stories! Please keep your midwife, though, so you can be safe and tell me ALL about her job :)
