A Little Anxious

We had our home visit from the midwife this afternoon. I'm 36 weeks today - still hard to believe. The end of this pregnancy has sort of sneaked up on all of us, I think. I've started having Braxton Hicks contractions more often lately, particularly today. The midwife says everything looks great, but kept making the comment that I need to keep this baby in for at least one more week. In OK, it's not lawful to use a midwife at home if the baby comes before 37 weeks. So, as long as I make it one more week, then we can proceed as planned with the home birth. There's not necessarily any indication that I would deliver this early, but she certainly seems to think that the baby will likely come soon. Since my first 3 were all born in the 38th week, that would make sense for us. However, I just don't feel prepared well for this little one to come - hence the anxiety, I guess. There are just things that I want to get done before little bit arrives that I haven't been able to get to until now. And now I'm really supposed to be resting this week so she doesn't come earlier than 37 weeks. If you're reading this fairly currently, please pray with us that the baby will at least wait until 37 weeks, but also that I'll be able to get these last few things done before her arrival. Pray that I won't be anxious for anything, but in everything with thanksgiving present my requests to my heavenly Father! No matter when she comes, His timing is perfect for us all.
