Baby's On The Way

Aileen had a midwife appointment this afternoon and after much humming and hawing, the midwife decided to send Aileen to the hospital for a consult with the O.B. The O.B., after much similar humming and hawing, thought it would be best to induce Aileen tonight and get that baby out. There are no serious medical concerns, but they just thought this was the best course of action since, at 38.5 weeks, the baby is considered full term and, in the words of the doctor, "at this point all we'd be waiting for is for something to go wrong." So, they are going to get the I.V.'s running in just a few minutes and hopefully we'll have a baby soon.
I have just scooted home to call family members, to make sure the kids are taken care of, and to grab Aileen's suitcase. I'll be heading back momentarily. So your prayers are appreciated tonight and I look forward to bringing you good news sometime tomorrow!

Aileen, good luck on having the baby.
Prayers for God's blessing from the Lambs!
I was praying for you and your family, especially for the new baby, and decided to check to see if there was any news.
I'll continue.
Love and blessings to all of you.
Praying for the family.
Trusting in God's perfect will....
Here's to the new baby! May you both be blessed (with sleep!)!

Tim and Aileen,
You and the baby are in our prayers.....Looking forward to hear the good news!
How exciting! You have my prayers.
Praying for y'all! Between your baby and the incipient 5th Gummball, babies are blessedly plentiful around the blogosphere. Thanks be to God for them. ;^)
Tim, Your blog has been a blessing to me as you expect your new blessing to come. May Christ be exalted in this delivery.
We had one of our own this Sunday. See him at my blog or my wife's blog http://babyboylatham.blogspot.com.
By the way, my wife is trying get me to read a book called, 'Babywise' or something.....ever heard of it?
Thanks for the TFG live blog, again!
How exciting!!!
Your family is in our prayers!
Tim and Aileen,
May God bless you with a keen awareness of His presence during these challenging but very precious hours of labor/delivery.
Someone said: By the way, my wife is trying get me to read a book called, 'Babywise' or something.....ever heard of it?
YES, I've heard of it. There is MUCH helpful advice to be gleaned from that book. We followed its guidelines with our 2nd and 3rd and it's much saner than 'letting the new baby be the center of the universe' which is how we 'managed' our first. (Or rather, how we let him manage us!) It's now my standard shower gift for expectant mothers.
