Still pregnant, that's a picture of Jackson.

• This baby would come soon!! I know it's all when he's ready & in God's timing, but we are all ready to meet him & I am ready to be done!
• NO BACK LABOR!! This is probably one of my biggest, if not biggest, prayers. I believe if I can go without back labor this time, it could be a completely different experience (from what I've heard from people anyway). He's facing the right way now, but I know that can change. So please pray it doesn't!!
• He is healthy, of course.
• We are able to deliver this baby VBAC as we're praying and planning on. (Vaginal birth after c-section). However, I am well aware that a c-section may be necessary.
• I would be able to relax and go through labor as naturally as possible, for as long as possible & not focus on the pain.
• That this baby would be as good of a nurser as Jackson was.
• That God would energize Matt as the wonderful coach that he will be & if at all possible, will be rested when labor begins as opposed to last time. (And that we won't forget to feed him this time!)
• That God would continue to prepare our hearts and our home for our new little addition, in that- pray for Jackson as this will be an inevitable earth-changing time for him.
• As for Jackson- pray for my little guy's allergies. This has added to some sleep issues for myself as well as he is up quite a bit at night struggling with them. He's on a new allergy medicine which is seeming to make a difference, but he's still struggling some.

That's about it. I'm going through all of the things that pregnant women go through at the end. The main one being trouble sleeping & so I'm going through my days in a fog here lately. Matt starts his 3 days off today- so I'm praying for more sleep & this would be a perfect time to go into labor! I go back to the Dr. on Friday. Hopefully that won't be necessary, but if we do go- I'll let you know if anything's happening!

We'll keep you all posted. Thanks for praying.
