Can Stress Induce Labor????

If so, Lincoln should be here by morning!!! Okay I guess that was my pathetic attempt to stay positive in the midst of utter CHAOS!!! Between work and personal situations, I'm hoping at least early delivery can come from all of this...

It has been on hell of a past week to put it lightly. Without boring you w/ details, my job is more stressful than it's ever been...I'm working harder than I ever have and dealing w/ more insanity than deemed reasonable, and shouldn't I be starting to take it easy at this point, being 9 freaking months pregnant???! My husband says so, but it seems like people have just been waiting for the perfect opportunity to decide..."hmmm...now that she's 9 months pregnant and trying to tie up all loose ends before Lincoln's arrival - I think NOW would be the perfect time to have complete breakdowns!!" Why??? seriously???! But I can handle it (I have to).

But on to more serious stuff, there's been some pretty major developments that I can't particularly mention at this time, that is the most stressful of all - situations that I know God is in control of, but it just seems hopeless and He seems hard to find. Jason and I are being faithful to prayer and hoping to see purpose through all of this. But nonetheless, did I mention things have been stressful lately????

Oh yeah - and i ripped a muscle in my upper abdomen because of my growing belly and not much room for it to go...this accounts for sleepless nights, major pain when sitting or lying down, and numbness. Fun.

So what to be thankful for...? That's easy :)

1. I have the most amazing husband in the world - and I'm not exaggerating. It brings tears to my eyes to think about how perfect for me he is and ho blessed I have been to have him as a part of my life. I think it's something I take for granted way too often. I know this sounds cheesy, but he is just such a rock and no matter how stressful things get, he's always stable. It's so comforting and relaxing to know I get to come home to him every day. :) I love you baby!!!

2. Baby Lincoln is healthy and should be here within the month!!!!!!!!! No dilation yet...I got the pleasure of having that check yesterday (a LOT more painful than I thought thanks to a deep uterus, apparently - yeah).

3. Another baby shower this weekend!! Can't wait to see everyone in Crossett!!!

And I WILL take pictures this weekend - promise!

So sorry for all the stress and your muscle tear. That could be worse of all cause I can't imagine that pain. We will keep you guys in our thoughts. So glad that Jason is being a wonderful husband for you. I know I often take John for granted too. Thanks for the reminder to love him a little bit more today!
