When God slows you down.
It’s odd what God will use to make you take a break. I feel like I’ve been running, running, running, and still not getting anywhere. Last night, shortly after I went to sleep, Elise was at my door saying she didn’t feel good. I thought she was just talking about her throat as she had [...]
A Day in my Life.
Please be forewarned. This is perhaps the longest post I have written on here. It is more of an essay. :) Have fun reading it: A Day in my Life. by Miriam Lein, wife, mother, teacher, house manager, seamstress, cook and above all a child of God. Dedicated to all my friends who are also [...]
Update on me (Miriam).
Well, I was disappointed today that I seemed to have a worse day than yesterday. It wasn’t a terrible day, it was just that my nervousness was around most of the day. I think hopefully I am hitting some sort of hump that I need to get over and thankfully the medicine is keeping it [...]
38 week app.
I am now two weeks from my due date and could feasibly go into labor at any time. I had a regular check-up at the doctor today, and he says everything looks fine and it is basically just waiting for labor from this point on. I have been experiencing contractions off and on the last [...]
37 Week App.
Things looked good today at my doctor appointment. I wasn’t there long, despite the fact that the waiting room was pretty crowded because of the holiday tomorrow. The baby’s heartrate was 140 beats per minute. My braxton hicks contractions have been picking up and getting stronger, but I told him I was pretty sure they [...]
Size estimate of the baby.
I drove up to Sulphur Springs today to visit Lucy, my past midwife and my doula this time. I took her a copy of my birth plan and we discussed anything pertaining to her part in the birth. I am really excited that she plans on being there for my labor. I’m really comfortable with [...]
36 weeks. 4 weeks to go and counting!
Today was my 36 week appointment. My mom came with me and I left Elise with John’s Mom because she is not good at knowing when not to interrupt. I had a lot to talk over with the doctor, and I thought she’d slow it down significantly. We did all the regular checks and everything [...]
34 Week Check-up
Today I am officially 6 weeks from my due date and 3 weeks from what is considered full-term. Sounds close, doesn’t it? This morning I had a general pregnancy check-up. The heartbeat sounded strong, as usual. My main concern this morning was the braxton hix contractions I’ve been having quite frequently. For those who don’t [...]
32 Week Dr. app.
After an exhausting holiday weekend (for me), Elise and I headed out the door this morning for my routine check-up. I was not feeling well yesterday, probably due to all the extra activity and little sleep, but today have felt a lot better. I am still looking forward to a nap this afternoon though. As [...]
