We are about 37 and a half weeks along now and the contractions absolutely stink! I am not loving the endless discomfort. The doctor prescribed some good pain pills and even some sleeping pills to help me endure to the end. No, I don't know when the end will be. I am completely at the mercy of when the hospital will allow me to have the C-section since I cannot give birth myself. It is a hard thing to know that in any other time in history I would have died with the birth of our first child. Hopefully the hospital will not make us wait until the baby is in distress because of the contractions and my lack of ability to dialate. I must admit that I feel I must fight for my life. I am no longer worried that the baby is not developed enough. I feel he will be healthy when he is born. I have faith that things will turn out well, although it is really hard to not have any control and no ability to make my body deliver this baby or any of our babies. I am grateful we have three beautiful healthy daughters and we will have a healthy son. I am thankful I am alive and can have a C-section to allow me to raise my children. It is extremely comforting to know of the Plan of Salvation in case anything bad did happen though. We will see when our little man, Kolden, has his birthday.

Kelli's 37 Week Baby Belly
