I had an OB check up today. I am scheduled to be induced on Tuesday. It is not for medical reasons.
Here are the real reasons in no particular order.
1. My Dr. doesn't seem to want to be delivering me on Christmas.
2. I want to be home on Christmas.
3. Mike will get a few extra days off work, but the bulk of his "baby leave" will overlap with "christmas leave".
4. My older brother and family will be in MO from France, and I want my parents to feel the freedom and have the time to be both here for the birth, and back to home in time to see my brother's family before they return to France. I'd feel pretty badly if they didn't get to see them. I'm bummed enough that I don't get to see them.
I do fully realize that this is not the ideal way to labor, and in all likely hood am prolonging my labor, but I feel like it is a more practical choice given our current circumstances. I am however prayerful that she will come on her own before Tuesday. Stranger things have happened.

" Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17
Ephesians 3:14-21
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power a work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
