Tuesday, July 15th

This will be the last picture taken of our family with just the three of us. At our doctors appointment today (five days past my due date) we were a little bummed to find out that nothing has changed. I am still 2 cm and 50% effaced. Due to mental and physical exhaustion we opted to have Dr. Case break my water tomorrow morning at 8:00. Brian and I are both extrememly excited and we can't wait to see our baby boy. Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow. I would like to have as little medical intervention as possible, specifically pitocin (a drug that helps your body to speed up contractions). They only use this drug if your body isn't contracting on it's own. Once they brake my water, if I don't start contracting within a long period of time they will have to give me pitocin since Blake has to be born within a 24 to 48 hour time frame. I was given this drug when I was laboring with Allyson and it made for some extremely painful contractions. I am anxious to see if labor without pitocin will be a little less stressful on my body.
Brian and I are off to bed and anxious for the plans the Lord has for us on Tuesday, July 15th.
Lord willing, the next blog we post will be of our new baby boy.

Lis!! That is so wonderful to know, I will absolutely be praying for the Boston Bunch on your BIG day! Ty was a week late and it was so difficult for me to deal with, I can imagine you are just done... God has a purpose for your wait and July 15th will be a special day for the rest of your life. Much love!!
