Induction Cancelled

Well, it doesn't look as if the baby is coming tonight after all. My doctor just called me and told me that the maternity wing at the hospital is so packed that they already have 3 women in the surgical unit. Since niether her, nor I, wanted me to be induced she cancelled the induction. While I am a little disappointed that I won't have my baby tonight, to be honest, I'm mostly relieved. I really wanted to go into labor on my own and felt that if I just had a couple more days I would go naturally. So the plan now is that if I have not had the baby by Saturday morning I go to the hospital and have a non-stress test. Then we revisit the induction idea.

Please keep us all in your prayers. Pray that I would go into labor on my own and when I do that the maternity wing wouldn't be full!

Love you all!

Last Clue!

Well, I had a very exciting doctors appointment yesterday. I found out that because of all my blood issues and the risk of the baby becoming anemic I'm not supposed to carry beyond my due date. So I'm scheduled to be induced on Wednesday night unless I go sooner. It's exciting to know that next Thursday I will have this baby:) However, I am a little nervous about being induced. I would really appreciate it if everyone would pray that I would go into labor before Wed. night at 6:30.

And now, the clue: In someones very first comment they guessed the first name as one of their guesses. So the name has been on the list for a long time:) Congrats to that person they'll find out next week who they are!

Thanks to everyone for playing! It's been a lot of fun. I can't wait for you all to meet our little girl!

Week 8/ I'm running out of clues I hope this is the last one but I'll probably need to make up one or two more:)

Let me start by saying I am so excited to meet this little girl trying to force her way through my abdominal wall (not the right way sweety!). Also, I really don't want her to show up until her daddy gets home on Tuesday. That being said, how can people say they "love" being pregnant?!?!?! Really?!?! Come on. I love that I'm going to have another baby and I hope to have lots more. I love that God has enabled me to have children and I would go through far worse for each little blessing. Loving being pregnant though. Those must be the same people that love to run. I mean the end result of running is great: the endorphines, the body, etc. but running itself really sucks. Anyway, you don't want to hear the rantings of 9 month pregnant woman. You just to want to read your clue, make your guess, and go to bed knowing you won't be waking up to pee in 3 hours:)

If you've never heard why Christin's name is spelled how it is here's the story: George once had a very sweet camper named Christin. When he asked why it was spelled so differently she said her parents wanted to remember everytime they read her name that she belonged first to Christ. They also wanted her to remember when she got older that she was "in Christ" hence Christin. That was when George decided his first daughters name would be Christin (long before he meet me). While I was not fond of the name I thought the story was beautiful and eventually (like after she was born) the name grew on me. This baby is doomed to have middle child syndrom, poor thing, I looked up the meaning of this name and it really gave me very little to work with. No beautiful story just "Mommy read this name in a baby book and really liked it" I guess the best thing to say is "what makes this name so beautiful is that it's yours". Maybe we should just start putting away money for therapy now:)

Happy Guessing!

Week 7

While I have never accutually picked up and read one of these I am guilty of reading the covers of all the "reputable" magazines I see in the grocery store check out line. (Stop, you know you do it too!) I have recently seen our little girl's name displayed on the cover with various issues. So if your stumped hit the supermarket to search for names. If it's not there now I'm sure it will be soon:)

Happy Guessing!
