Hi friends--
Hope you are all enjoying what seems to be the end of summer and the beginning of fall!! While I am always sad that summer is over so fast.......I absolutely love the fall and welcome it's coming. Apple picking, football, sweatshirts, bonfires, leaves, pumpkins, cool breeze...... lovely!
We continue to feel the abundant blessings that the Lord has poured out on us! We feel especially blessed to be meeting our little one very soon :) The due date is a week from today.....so sometime in the next few weeks we'll have a new and precious addition : ) As most of you know we found out about 3 weeks ago that the baby is in breech position. It was distressing at first because this is a riskier situation for birth. We've learned all sorts of things to try to turn the baby (inversions, music, hot/cold application, homeopathic pulsatilla, chiropractic technique, swimming, accupuncture). We're not sure what position the baby is in this week. In the end.....it comes down to trusting the Lord and trusting my body. He is NOT a careless mechanic and He IS in control! We would appreciate your prayers for a peaceful birth!
We're finding out that so many other friends are pregnant right now....so exciting! I wanted to share some books that have helped me think and prepare......
