I had my 33 week appointment today and it really hit me how close we are to having Camille here with us. First, the doctor let me know that an important milestone is coming up at 34 weeks. At that point, if I go into labor they do not try to stop labor but let it progress naturally because babies have a very high survival rate then. Also, I set the remainder of my appointments for the pregnancy because I start weekly appointments as of August 4th. As slow as time may seem to be passing by, we only have 7 short weeks to go (and maybe less if she shows up early like my intuition keeps telling me)-(or maybe more is she decides to be stubborn and torture her mommy into mid-September, hehe).
I have never prayed so hard for courage and strength. Watching those birth videos in birthing class does not help my anxiety about the upcoming delivery. Some days I am totally at peace with the process and others I don't think I'll be able to do it! I think Luke is just as nervous, if not more so, than I am. All we can do is pray and get through it. In the end, we will have our little girl to cuddle and it will all be SO worth it!
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6
