Only 3 more weeks left!

So I had a doctors apt. on wed. and we set a date for me to be induced. Both my doctors said that there was no reason to go past 36 weeks. By then, The Baby is fully developed. The lungs arer fully developed and eveything is ready. The last 4 weeks are mainley for the long term effects for the baby, and in our case we don't have to worry about it. And Inducing at 36 weeks is alot safer for me. So Saturday September 5th will be the day we celebrate our Baby's arival! I have to say that earlier this week I started to get scared and nervous because it is getting so close and there is the fear of the unexpected. What is He going to look like?? Anancephaly babies could have severe facial deformaties. Am I really prepared for that? how long is he going to live?? I was kinda freaking out. So I prayed really hard for comfort in whatever is going to happen. And I got it. The Lord has Blessed me so much and comforted me so much. People ask if we are praying for a miracle? And someone pointed out to us just the other day, that the miracle has been how comforted we feel and how we are able to be handling this situation. And I realized that he was right. we have already experienced so many miracles. I am so gratefull for this experience and know that whatever he looks like or how long he lives, he is my Baby and I will love him forever and know he will be perfect! We are still nervouse, but now, again I feel at peace. A friend asked me the other day if I was ready? I said NO. I don't think you can ever be READY. I think you can be as prepared as possible and I feel we are but Ready is something else! But we know that it is going to be an wonderfull, spiritual experience we will never forget. And It will, and already has made us stronger. We appreciate eveyones support and prayers and please continue to pray for us because we do feel it and appreciate your Love!!

gosh dang sarah. I'm bawling again. I love your faith and understanding. Good Luck with everything. We'll continue to pray for you and your family.
Um, and I have to add (because I'm too lazy to go down to the next post to comment) that Aubrey is freaking adorable for her first day. I'm feeling pressure to actually brush Kam's hair, let alone curl it for her first day. Maybe I'll surprise myself.

Your family is definitely in our prayers and has been since we found out. Do you have everything ready that you will need? Do you need help with anything? I know we are not in the same city, but I am more than happy to help out in any way that I can. Just let me know.
Love,
Heather

Sarah, I have been thinking a lot about you and Matt as we have Matt's sister Erin in our ward now. I thought that I would look you guys up and see how things were going. I am just amazed at the faith you two have. Its definitely a reminder of how grateful I am to be a member of the church. It also reminded me of my friend who is a professional photographer and wanted to take pictures for moments like these. I'm not sure if you have heard of this website but you might be interested in looking it up. nowilaymedowntosleep.org
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Your 3 little ones are just GORGEOUS! Its crazy to think we were all just in college, no kids and no worries! How time flies! You all look great! Take care and if you guys are ever passing thru to go visit your in-laws, stop on by. We are in Grants!

I am going to add you to my blog!

Hi there - I'm thinking of you often. I know for a fact that it doesn't matter what your babies look like or the problems that you may have. You will instantly fall madly in love and look passed all of this. You will be blessed with an amazing peace and you will just enjoy each moment. I admire and love you and will help in any way I can. Love you.
