Hey! Well, after laying awake for half the night contemplating what the best plan would be for me and Mia, we've decided to schedule a c-section on Monday at 1pm. We were going to induce labor and see how she and I did, but because she is not engaged in the pelvis, she is not putting any pressure on the cervix to dilate, which means the way out is closed and thick. It will be less stress for her and I to have the c-section. Being a baby nurse, I know too much and I know all the risk factors and scenarios that can play out, I feel like I want to take care of her as much as I can. It's too risky trying to induce labor and naturally deliver her. And the possibility of naturally delivering her is very slim. I would rather have a c-section that was peaceful and ready, instead of an emergent one.
So, we're going to have a baby Monday afternoon! Please keep us in your prayers for a quick and complete recovery and no complications for Mia. I feel peaceful about this, and as the Lord reminded me yesterday, He goes before me and prepares the way for me. He's already there in that OR and in my room where I will be next week. We're excited and ready!

Congrats (ahead of time) to you and Toby. We are thrilled for the arrival of Mia and anxiously await some pictures of your newly expanded family!
You're in our prayers! Not only does He go before you, but He's the shade at your right hand - Daddy will be in there, right beside you. No worries, Love. We're so excited she's almost here! Can't wait to come and meet her.
Ashleigh and I could not be more excited for you and Toby! I love your peaceful outlook regarding the cesarean. We have been praying that your pregnancy would be smooth sailing and it has been. So, Mia wants things her way, huh? That's a girl for ya'. Haha. We love you all and please know that our thoughts and prayers will continue to be will you through the delivery, Mia's transition and your recovery. It's amazing, Nat. You will be a great mother and Toby will be a fantastic Dad. Be prepared to fall in love tomorrow. There's no feeling that even remotely compares to seeing your child for the first time or watching Daddy kiss her on the forehead for the first time. I can still remember how it felt. I still feel that way when I watch my babies sleep. There older now, but they'll always be my babies and the first is always special. Your family is so blessed. Mia's a lucky little girl. Well, I am working Tuesday so I will see you then...plus one! MuchLuv, Emily & Ashleigh
