DECEMBER 25!!!
There is a secret part of me that I am divulging to everybody right now that kind of wants Macie to come on Christmas Day. Not that I want my body to wait that much longer, but I think there is something special, and magical about being born on the day we celebrate our Savior's birth. Most people say oh poor girl that is going to suck when she starts having birthday's. As her mom I don't see it that way. She will never have to go to school on her birthday, when she gets older she will never have to work on her birthday. People say "ya but she gets the raw end of the deal with gifts and birthday food and parties". I see it differently, it gives me a challenge every year to come up with something extra special so Macie feels super special on her birthday. I already have tons of fun ideas to make her feel special. Plus in our family we want to try and not make Christmas about gifts and more about spending time together as a family, celebrating the Birth of our Savior and helping others in need. Very little gifts for all is the goal, except Macie as she would get Christmas and Birthday gifts. Parties can be just as fun, or better. Snowboarding trips with friends, ice princess themes, having unbirthday parties in the summer time. I have a funny feeling that if I just let nature take it's course and don't get induced she will come that day, especially keeping up with family traditions. I have a nephew who's birthday is on July 4th, a niece with a birthday on November 11th, once every 6 years my birthday fall's on Labor Day, and I think a sister-in-law who's birthday can fall on August long weekend. (sorry Chelsey can't remember the day 100% but I am almost positive it is very early in august and probably falls on the first monday in august every 6 years as well). Although I have been getting contractions more and more stronger the past couple of days and really she could come tomorrow when I get my membrane stripped or soon after, but if not, I am kind of leaning towards no induction and just seeing what day this little girl chooses to come into the world and not what day the Doctors, Mark and I decide she should.

Yay for babies! Whenever they come. I'd wait it out as long it isn't forever overdue. Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI am sure your doctor is not keen on the idea, that's why they want to induce on the 21st so they don't have to work on Christmas. I say the sooner the better, if we come and visit and she still hasn't come I am going to be chocked.
ReplyDeleteYou already know how I feel about it being better not to get induce otherwise there is a medical reason it is beneficial for mom or baby. My Mom was actually in labor with me for more than 24 hours (on a labor day) and had a brutal delivery because she was induced but I don't see having a birthday on a holiday as a bad thing at all. My birthday was often on the first day of school or labor day and it never bothered me a bit.
