Prayer Request

Everything is going well with Ellie and the final days of the pregnancy. Steph is progressing steadily, but slowly and it could be anyday now. We just wanted to ask for your prayers as Steph's due date (Dec. 2nd) approaches. Dr. Fisher let us know that going much past a week to 10 days past the due date is unsafe since the placenta begins to deteriorate and in some cases stops functioning all together leaving the baby without any of life's necessaries. This all means that should we get close to the due date, Steph will have to be scheduled to be induced. Sounds simple, but last time with Lizzie the induction went horribly wrong and we both vowed to never go there again, so this would be a very scary option for us (Steph especially). Our prayer request is that Ellie decides to come on her own before we even have to think about scheduling an induction. The next appointment is this Tues. Nov. 28th, at which time we will reevaluate.

I'll be praying for you guys and little Ellie. Sometimes it can be an advantage going into a situation with your eyes wide open and some times it can just be scary. Your family will be in my thoughts.
