Bryson Alexander: Its Time!

Rate this Entry
Last Wednesday, we went in for another dr's appt. The doctor didn't check me but he wanted to go ahead and schedule my induction. He scheduled it for Dec. 2 this Friday but that he said someone should be calling me with the time. To make the long story short they have changed the date now to Monday, Dec.5. I guess on the weekends there are no pediatric surgeons available and they want to make sure that incase there is an emergency or have to do it right away that there will be one there. So, I am relieved in a way and yet just so anxious. I can go into work on Friday, and have a couple more days to take my son to see Santa and do some last minute things. I am just hoping that these extra days help him to develop more and his lungs are completely perfect when he is born.
I don't have any idea what to expect and am just taking it one day at at time. His room is looking beautiful and coming together and I have his little bag packed with his clothes and caps and stuff i think will make him cozy.
I can't wait to meet my son and to start this new journey. This waiting game is killing me.
I just want us to start this new chapter and get this behind us. I am not sure what the future holds but I am prepared for anything.
Praying that God will bless our little family in any way that He sees fit and I know that i will be grateful no matter what happens or what the outcome is.
I don't know really the meaning behind all of it but I know that God does have a plan and if he wants this baby to stay inside me longer then he will do it. He must not be done working on him yet, is the only explanation I have. Because our plan is not Gods plan. Our ways are not His.
I am going to have to take my full 12 weeks of maternity leave because of the baby but unforunately only 6 weeks of that is going to be paid. A friend of mine at work is trying to get some assistance for me where other employees who have hours or sick time that they would like to donate can if they want. I have to talk to my supervisor to clarify the
details today but I am hoping that this is a huge answer to prayer for us. I am not sure anyone will give but I am praying they will under the circumstances.
Well, God bless all, and talk to you soon.

    Julie, I will definitely be praying for you and baby Bryson. I understand how anxious and nervous you must be. My daughter is right behind you. The doctor will be setting the date for her induction next week. We don't always understand but you're right, God does have a plan and He is in control. I will be praying for you and your family. Please keep us posted.

    Julie,

    Two years ago today my daughter and I were experiencing these same feelings...anxious, scared, not knowing what to expect and on this day God gave us a precious little boy that couldn't breathe when he was delivered. Today he is 2 and he is healthy, happy, and full of life. We spent that Christmas in the NICU by his side and he came home Jan. 5th. The best advice I can give; Take one day at a time, love him, and pray for him and the medical staff attending to him. I will keep you and Bryson in my prayers. God will take care of you
