Ready for delivery!



This pregnancy has been nothing less than a roller coaster. At 28 weeks my doctor became concerned with the babies growth and the fact she was breech. She was measuring small and not showing much growth, because of this I started visiting a specialist and getting monitored. Sawyer had IUGR (growth restriction) and because of this there was good reason for me to be concerned that we may have another special needs child. I battled with this idea and roll played in my mind all of the unknown possibilities. This made me very stressed and overwhelmed. I finally decided to ask Ben for a priesthood blessing. It was a very simple blessing, but it gave me strength and I knew I just needed to leave it in my Heavenly Fathers hands and things would be okay. At times it was hard not to doubt, but I tried my best to have faith. As I went to my 37 week specialist appointment I had high hopes that things would look good. We had already made an appointment for the following week to have the doctor do a external cephalic version (turn the baby for a vaginal delivery). Unfortunately my 37 week specialist appointment did not go as planned. The specialist was concerned with the growth and decided it would be best to induce me that same day.
