Thank you for the notes of encouragement on the last post. After reading each one, I am strengthened for the road ahead! It is possible!

I’ve been able to try a lot of the suggestions for turning Baby this weekend, as my husband took the kids while I labored for two days. Early this Sunday morning, I thought that we’d finally established a strong pattern, but alas, things are slowing down again. I am very uncomfortable, but at least now, I’m getting longer breaks.

This evening has been very quiet. I even attended the evening service and directed the children’s choir. I was slated to play for our church service this morning, but being unable to walk or talk through the contractions, I called in “sick.” Now I feel like I should have produced a baby to explain my absence, but here I sit with nothing apparent to show for all my hard work.

This reminds me of my garden sometimes—all work with not much to show for it. :smile_wp:

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
