I took a warm bath before bed. So, I went to bed relaxed.
I slept well, or about as well as a woman can sleep at 39+ weeks pregnant.
And I still woke up grumpy.
I'm not sure what my problem was but I didn't want anyone to mess with me, talk to me or especially to ask me to do anything for them this morning.
So, I tried to get out of the funk by reading the scriptures and praying. It worked, because by the time we went to church, I felt fine.
I really needed the messages at church, today. It was mostly about peace. Usually, that kind of message hits me in more of an emotional or spiritual peace kind of way. This time, though, I needed to hear that I can find peace from God even in my labor and the pain that goes along with that.
I have had a rough time with waiting for this baby to come. I still feel mostly good, physically, but since I have been having a lot of contractions, it has been hard. I get my hopes up and then they are dashed over and over.
I'm SO glad that we are just going to induce this week. I know that I'll have a baby on Wednesday. I think I need to give up on before that! I think I'll do better emotionally!

Good for you for striving for that peace! And boy, having an induction date can really take the stress off!
aahhh... Hang in there. I remember those days. She's almost here I keep checking the blog to see if you have any news yet. I'm glad you were able to find some "peace" in your meetings. It can be hard at this point.
It was so frustrating being pregnant and over due with Evan. The nice part about knowing that I was having a c-section for Harry was that I knew that I would not be pregnant past that date. Then my OB went and took him out a week earlier so I was even more thrilled.
I am praying for you that you will continue to feel this peace. When I start feeling this much anxiety in my life, I like to remember how the Lord succors His flock. And one definition of succor means to "walk with Christ." This imagery nearly always brings things more in perspective for me.
I am also glad you have an induction date scheduled. That should help you feel a little bit of closure with this pregnancy.
Good luck with everything!
Good luck with the induction, I hope there are no complications!
I say hang in there too!
peacefulness is a good thing....calming and mellow. i'm praying for ya...induction day coming soon!!
I can't wait to hear! I hope all is ok! I imagine you are just ready to have that baby already!

I've been there--a miserable place to be for sure! At least there's light at the end of the tunnel!
