I had somewhat of a disappointing Dr. appointment this week... She told me that the baby is not as far down as she would like for being just a couple of weeks from due date - and that this tells her that there is a possibility that the reason his head is not down far enough is because it is too big. This also makes sense with all of the contractions that I continue to have that are doing nothing... Unfortunately - the only way to figure this out is to wait until labor starts and try and see if he will come out. And then if he won't - we will have to have a c-section. I don't think this sounds like a very fun idea... but there is nothing I can do about it and my hopes of going early are getting trampled with each coming day. She will also let me go a week past my due date before she will induce labor. So now, instead of being happy with having contractions because maybe labor was going to start it is really just frustrating! Anyway - I was worrying about this on the way to work one morning this week and listening to the Christian station as usual. A song came on that I love and I began singing - and when it got to the chorus it was as if God was using it to remind me that He is able to do anything...
Mighty to Save
by Hillsong
Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.
Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.
So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.
Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)
If He can move the mountains - He can certainly move this baby where he needs to be to have a safe delivery. Why do I not trust Him enough to remember that He is in control of even the smallest details of my life - if only I will let Him? Somehow I always try to figure things out on my own and after too much worrying, then give it to Him. If only I could remember to take it to Him first, then things would be so much easier... Now I am trying to rest knowing that He knows when this baby will come and all of the other details surrounding.

Oh Kylie, now anytime I hear that song I am totally going to think of your little boy's head inching it's way down into the birth canal ;)
Hillsong Music is great! If Jolene's baby can come home from in the hospital in record time, Owen can definitely be born without complications :D
