Guess What?!

by Kelly Crawford

I’m in labor!
(Envision very pregnant lady doing happy dance…well, in theory.)

After 19 days of being “overdue” by the doctor’s timetable…we are thrilled that the Lord has been pleased to begin to bring forth our baby in His time just hours before we were supposed to call the hospital to schedule an induction. “Thank you, Lord, for your sustaining grace and love.”

Updates will follow.

19 days!!! You sound like me- I thought I was the only one who liked to have my babies almost a month late 🙂

Praise God you were spared a nasty induction! And that he helped you to be patient enough to endure the waiting in order for his timing to be realized.

I’ll be staying tuned and praying!

Praise the Lord!! SO excited for you! 🙂

Is it weird that I was about to call my husband at work and tell him “Kelly’s in labor!!”, when *I’m* currently 5days “overdue” and he’s anxiously awaiting a phone call to announce to him that “It’s Time!”?? Guess I shoudn’t. 😉
