Hi Moms! Well, baby #9 will be induced Monday morning.... just like all of his siblings were induced! (big baby, we live far out in the country, I've hemorrhaged before and tend to not feel any pain until it's right before the birth!)

Please pray for baby Alexander Elijia and me!

I've been reading the new encyclical on "Hope" and it is VERY inspiring. I'll bet the Pope had no idea how applicable it is to a mom going into labor, worried about the chaos of bringing a new baby home, balancing the family mobile again. I highly suggest you spend time with it. I copied it off the internet, printed it, put it in a binder, and have been highlighting away! (I'll probably take the binder to the hospital!)

Peace,
Macmom

I've been induced four times myself, so I know your pain!!! I will pray for a quick and safe delivery.

Just wanted to let everyone know-
EASY LABOR! No drugs, just 5 quick hours of what felt like bad menstrual cramps (nothing over the top!) followed by 4 quick pushes, and baby Alexander came out fine! (If only ALL labors were like this!)

Apgar 9 for him. I'm doing great. (My OB says I should have more.... I told her "Not THIS year!")

Thanks so much for the prayers!

Peace,
Macmom
