Bailey Isn't Far From Entering The World

Hey all,

Want to let you know about our doctor's visit today. We went and the doctor, Dr. Hidayet, said that Elizabeth is getting closer but not in true labor yet. But she said that there was only 2cm of ambiotic fluid left so at this point she wants us to come in tomorrow morning to induce. This I think is normal at this stage of pregnancy when the baby is better than 10 days late.

We are excited and a little anxious. Pray for us that things will go smoothly for Elizabeth and Bailey tomorrow. Pray even that Bailey may decide to come tonight and we won't even need to induce, not that inducing is a bad thing, but from what I understand it can make the labor harder. Pray the doctor's will have great wisdom. Pray that we are able to be a blessing to those around us as Bailey enters the world. Pray for my mother and grandmother as they make the trip to help us after Bailey comes home.

We look forward to your emails and words of encouragement over the next few days. Stay tuned to the next few posts as we make lots of pictures and videos of Bailey available to you all over the world. Love you and hope to talk to you soon. If you email me at billyjamesjohnson@yahoo.com or elizabeth@vanguardnetwork.com we will give you our US telephone number that rings at our house here in Istanbul and we can call you back at no cost. It also has voicemail if you just want to leave a message.


peace peace,


billy
