Waiting on Baby!

So most of you reading my blog will know we are expecting our 8th baby. And due date is like now!
 So we are anxiously waiting on baby right now.
 Any momma I know gets just a tad impatient when it's about her time. Gets a little hard to wait patiently. But that doesn't help much. I try to comfort my self in the knowledge that the baby is easier to take care of inside the womb than out. No Diapers, no feedings, and every where you go, baby goes too! Much easier isn't it!? So that is a comfort!!

 I never am really excited about labour. But I do know that is what it takes to get baby here. So with that in mind I do always anticipate labour, and am like, "When is it going to start already!!?" And every night I go to bed wondering if this is the night, and every morning I wake wondering if this is the day?
 Last labour was very long. I was at the hospital 23 hours before baby was born. Though that was not all in full labour. I was in very early labour with regular contractions though not painful at all when I went up to the hospital. But being my 7th I thought it would go very fast, and being an hour away too, I thought I should go see if I was progressing at al. Well I wasn't, but they did go ahead and keep me in the hospital in case things started to progress and went fast. But id did not! In fact basically stalled altogether. Eventually the contractions did start more and harder, but before it was all over the had to give me something to speed labour up. That was the first time I ever had to have that in my labours, and was it ever rough on me. I used laughing gas to make it through. That and praying! I was constantly talking to God through it all. He kept me going!!

 Anyways so hoping this time is way different! I for one have been taking a product called EZ Birth which you start taking in the 37th week. Is suppose to be a great product. Also now this last week started drinking LOTS of red raspberry tea! And praying about this labour, that I would go in to it with out fear. And that I would really rest and trust in the Lord.
  Someone just recently told me that she really found comfort in Psalms chapter 34 and 37. So I have been reading those often.
 
  Just now while I have been thinking about waiting on baby. A verse came to mind on that. I remember it is one that I really clung to when I was going over due with baby #7. I was over due 2 whole weeks before his delivery.  So I will share that here. May it encourage you too if you are waiting on a baby, or anything you may be waiting on.

Psalm 27:14
                                     Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.         

 Beautiful isn't it?! And there is many more such verse like that through out Psalms.
 
 Take care, and no matter your situation wait on the Lord, be patient, and trust in Him! He has got you covered!!
 In Him, Mae

P.S.. I will try to post on here as soon as I can after our baby does arrive!! I usually always share the birth story. I know I love reading birth stories, and I trust other mommas do to!!
