Waiting is one of the hardest things God asks us to do…
Waiting on His timing, what we know is His perfect timing.
Many of you know that our due date with little baby boy Meister was May 24, 2012…which has very obviously come and gone – and no baby yet!
To be honest, it has truly been a test of faith for me in this time of waiting! Being in medicine, I know that 50% of babies come after their due date, but watching that date come and go was really hard for me! Each day I would wake up and go to bed praying that baby boy would make his debut and we would be able to enjoy the surprise and anticipation of his arrival.
Today, at 8pm I will be induced, starting with cervigel and then moving to Pitocin if need be (for my colleagues and medical friends out there). This has been really hard for me to accept that I won’t get to truly experience “going into labor” on my own – the surprise, the excitement. To experience all of that in the hospital is very different from what I expected and I am trying to continue to lay aside my own expectations and trust that God’s timing is perfect – and be thankful that we have a known endpoint!
Thank you so much for your support, encouragement and prayers through this pregnancy, through the uncertainly of our baby’s health earlier on, through the waiting and through our impending labor and delivery – you are each so important to us and we love you dearly!
