progress and encouragement
still no baby, but all is relatively well. we just had a checkup, and baby is doing quite well, and Michelle's body has progressed enough to keep our spirits up. she's now about 3cm and 90%. the doctor is sure that all this work these past few days will make the hard labor much shorter and easier, which is exactly what we needed to hear. he's so kind and patient with us: we know he'd rather go ahead and induce now, but he respects our wishes to wait it out, for now at least.
the next appointment is thursday, and if we make it that far, we will induce and/or break her water on monday. everyone thinks she wont make it that far, but everyone has been wrong before.
we didnt get much sleep last night, so we'll do our best to rest today. in other baby news, ben and laini huffine had their baby boy the other day: jaron mosi huffine, and everyone is well.
hopefully soon for us? we know Jesus is with us. a tearful reading of psalm 91 did our hearts much good this morning. please keep praying for us.

Thanks for the update and we are praying for you and your boy!
Monitoring your blog with baited breath. Thanks for updating! I'm praying for you guys (all 3!).
Still praying. We love you.
I do think all that work is doing you good! I had contractions all day on a Saturday and on Monday Josiah was born! My labor was not long at all! Be encouraged!!
Rah, Rah, Rah! You can do it, yes you can!! (that was me cheering you on)
:) Good luck!
I pray by now you're holding your precious baby boy!! It's all worth it, right?
Wow, you've been holding out! Can't wait to hear news of your little one's birth. We really appreciated the Bradley method. We hope you are able to have a natural delivery. You three are in our prayers. Love, John & Robin Ohanian
