Our little son is still refusing to come out of his hiding place. So the plan now is I'm going to hospital tonight for an induction. Basically this means they try to bring labour on and if it works i start to dilate.
I'm doing this earlier than most because the doctor was worried about my age and possible complications. I was told that they will start the process tonight and so hopefully by tomorrow morning I should be labour.
I am hopeful it will work the first time so they don't have to try again. He can't stay in me forever!
So hopefully tomorrow night myles will be writing a post saying we've had a little boy or the ultrasound was incorrect and actually it's a little girl.

still preggy
My due date has been and gone and our little son doesn't seem to be in any hurry to come out of his well-padded home for the last 9 mths.
He's fine according to our last doctors appointment -it's just me now. Early hours of the morning I was starting to lose the plot...my emotions got the better of me. I'm excited and worried all at once. Worried that if he takes too long something will happen to him, excited that any minute now I could go into labour. But I'm sick of waiting, doing nothing and waiting.
Myles has taken the day off to keep me occuppied. My days were starting to drag on and I can't sleep at nite. It's not that I want to hang out with people because I'm not good company right now. I'm just all about baby and that's all I can cope with. If Myles didn't take today off I would spend the day in a heap of tears and he would come home to a hysterical wife.
But God is good and I get to spend hours with my man enjoying a beautiful day. My mum even has plans so I don't have to worry about what to do with her.

baby
nearly there...only a few more days. I am half expecting to go to hospital tomorrow night and give birth in the early hours of tues morning.
It's been 9 months but it feels like years...2000 we started this journey, trying to have a child. Now I only have a few days.
I have no idea what the LORD has planned for the next couple of days. But my hope is in him and he has always been faithful to me.
LORD
it's nearly time. Thank you for blessing me with this miracle. I ask again for your continued protection of our child. Please be with us. Keep me focused and strong so I can bring him into this world healthy and full of your life.
I love you LORD, and I look forward to pressing through and holding our baby in my arms. I would love to meet him on 5 dec but if you know something i don't and he would be delivered healthier on another day, then I can wait. Your will be done.
I pray that myles and I would work as one in the next couple of days, show us how to do this LORD. We give you the glory.
in the name of my saviour and Lord, Jesus, your son. amene

i had a cough this morning...
...and it reminded me of Jesus. How he created us.
Somewhere in the process of creating humans (and LOTS of other animals) God decided that there should be an involuntary mechanism for the brain to tell the throat area to spasm and exhale air such that anything stuck would be expelled. eg: To cough
Wow.
For evolutionists I ask - what came first - the throat or the 'cough' command from the brain?
If we had throats and no 'cough' command then its a good chance (since we have all most probably coughed to clear our airways in our life) that humans would have died off.
If we had a 'cough' command but no throats - why would evolution and keep this mutation? How would it create it?
And finally, this combination of throat organ and 'cough' command must have happened very early in the evolution process as so many species share both 'evolutionary mutations'.
Unfeasible evolutionary? One could argue a cold clinical case that it is unfeasible (without some grand designer).
Thanks you Lord, for throats and coughs.
PS: some people may argue that if God made the throat so perfect he should not have had to create a 'cough' command. My answer: While our throats may have been created perfectly, us humans are still dumb enough (free choice remember) to stick all sorts of things down it and all sorts of speeds!
