Thinking

So as the reality of my due date is quickly approaching, I was struck with all kinds of thoughts, fears and anxiousness of what the process would be like. Should I go natural, can I go natural, should I use a Doula, what is a Doula, how much would a Doula cost, should I have an epidural or not, what if I have to have a cesarean I know people do it all the time but what if it is all bad for me, all these things that just sent my thoughts into a downward spinal. I was trying to figure it all out on my own, MY birth plan.... hmm I know better than that. So as God so loving does he reminded me that he is in control and I should not worry or fear. He has this delivery of our son already orchestrated. So I am trusting him to help guide Nate and I through the process that will be child birth. So instead of being overwhelmed with what My idea and My plan is I am letting God help guide US through this and I can continue to enjoy this pregnancy. 2 more months to go before we get to meet this gift God has entrusted to us.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

    There are a lot of decisions to make! In my own experience, I didn't get to make very many decisions, and I think that in some ways was a lot easier.
    As you said, God is in control! Ben and I kept reminding ourselves, these aren't our boys, they are God's..
    I had to chuckle a bit that you had a "downward spinal" - what does that feel like? haha
