Delivery day??? Nope

Well, it's Saturday December 21, 2012...the world is still turning and I am not in the hospital having a baby. The future is always a mystery :)

We had an ultrasound yesterday, my sweet baby girl has lots of hair!! The doctor decided that we could try holding off a little longer, give Ellcy more time to grow and allow us to be home together for Christmas. I'll admit at first I was  disappointed....emotionally I'm done with the waiting. But I've since realized how much better this will be for everyone.

Perhaps I never explained why the uncertainty with her arrival. For Ellcy's sake the longer she can stay in the womb the better, however I also have placenta pri via, which is why I have to have a c-section and why they originally wanted to take her at 37 weeks (today). Still, with a promise to take it extra easy, stay close to the hospital, and to come it at the first sign of ANY bleeding- we've bought her time. It may not sound like a miracle but we have been fighting for this for quite a long time with all the different doctors. Another blessing :)

I feel a little bit like a time bomb just waiting to go off. I'd much rather have a planned c-section than an emergency one but, once again it all goes back to putting my trust in my Heavenly Father and listening to the spirit. I feel much calmer and full of peace today than I have in a while...so all must be well.

My new delivery date? I don't know (again). We meet with the doctors in another week and we shall see. We might even get to the first of the year!

 1-3-13 is kind of a cool date :)
