I have had a really tough 24 hours. Besides getting restless I started getting discouraged. I keep trying to find the best position for the least fluid loss. Most often I have been on my left side. Yesterday it didn't matter how I positioned myself I kept spotting and losing amniotic fluid. In the evening the spotting was getting worse and I thought the end was near. I tossed and turned all night holding on to my baby begging God for a MIRACLE.
This morning was even worse, no matter what I did I couldn't feel Steven move. I tried to stay distracted, I had some visitors and our deacon brought me communion. I had texted my midwife and she came over as soon as she could. I was so nervous...but she immediately heard a strong heartbeat! She can't figure out how this little guy is surviving. We appreciate each minute with our little guy and pray that no matter what His will is...that we will be strong and accept it!
THY WILL BE DONE!!!+JMJ+
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Pete and Katie

ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you and Steven. Waiting is so hard, and I completely understand how you miss your work being your prayer. But the sweet sacrifice you are offering now is so pleasing to God, and so inspirational for all of us who know and love you. Hang in there! Love, Lisa Brenninkmeyer
