Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Update

I went to my appointment this morning with the nurse-midwife. The first thing she told me is that they do NOT want to give me a c-section and basically we're going to do everything we can to make sure that a c-section doesn't happen. So, I'll end up doing my non-stress test with them versus going to the doctor's office which I'm thrilled about. It means I won't make Nathan come. After being at the doctors office on Friday there is almost NO way they could get me in there without him. If all goes well with that test, which I have no reason to believe it would not, I will just have my consult on Wednesday with the doctor. Nathan, of course, has to go to that one. It even sounds like I have an appointment with the doctor who is most likely to let me have an induction. If something is wrong with the test there is a 30% chance that the results are wrong (Not very comforting.) and then I'd have to have a contraction stress test that has to be done at the Doctor's office. They'd give me an IV with a little bit of pitocin just to see how the baby reacts to the contractions. I'm not planning on having to do that. So basically, lots of good news this time around. Keep your fingers crossed for me for tomorrow.

In the meantime...the nurse midwives gave me a list of different herbal stuff to try to just go into labor naturally. Wouldn't that be great.
