No baby yet :)

Back at the doctor today, hence the update :) Things are still very much the same. I had really hoped to start moving somewhat toward delivery, but no luck. The doctor said that she wasn't really comfortable inducing next week, because you should really be dialated a little bit before you induce, and she doesn't think I will be...so we set a tentative date for November 13. We'll see if I go any earlier than that, but Eli seems completely content to stay where he is...so I have a feeling we will be inducing on the 13th, and not going into labor on my own. Oh well, I guess. I was a little frustrated, because last week my doctor had me worried that the baby was getting too big, and would need to induce next week, but this week didn't seem worried about it. She said he didn't seem too big, and I should be fine. (again, because I'm a 'big' girl..which always cracks me up when she says it :) )
I think the past couple of weeks have been good for me in a couple of ways. I am so determined for this all to go my way on my time...and I feel like God is quietly telling me to trust HIM in all of this. I want to have it all figured out, and I don't think that is what God has in mind. Tonight in Bible Study I was reminded that God is UNHASTING. A beautiful reminder that God DOES have everything 'figured out' on HIS timetable, and that His timetable is the very best one for me. One of our elders taught the Bible study tonight, and read a story that he wrote...it was an amazing story of how God is in no rush for us to learn His lessons, and wants us to be JOYFUL in the midst of things that don't go our way. It was a good reminder...glad I went to church :)
Anyway, I am trying to learn to just WAIT and trust that His plan is good, and that it will all work out the way God wants it to. I don't need to worry that Eli will come too soon, or too late, or that mom & dad will get here too soon or too late, or if I will have to have a C-section, or any of it...God in His time will take care of it all. I am blessed.
