I am the LORD . . . they shall not be
ashamed who wait for me. ♦ Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose
hope is the Lord. ♦ You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on
You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for in YAH, the LORD,
is everlasting strength. ♦ My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my
expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense;
I shall not be moved. ♦ I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed.
Stole this from Greg Laurie's email devotional as I thought it appropriate. Definitely don't feel like I have trusted in God as well as this verse says, and definitely struggled with anxiety, worry and trusting in 'man' (doctors) more than my Saviour but HE knows that and was still with me and loves me despite. PRAISE HIM!
Can't believe I have made it this far and as the doctor put it yesterday "this has been the most uncomplicated, almost perfect monochorionic pregnancy you could have". Well I know nothing in this life is perfect but I do know God has blessed every single step of this journey beyond belief. So thankful for everyones prayers, God has sure answered!
Girls are both weighing 6 pounds and we have made it 36 weeks and other than these 2 munchkins being breech thus far (hoping for some turning but only B seems to move and it's gotta be A head down). I am kind of glad I have had c-section and 2 regular births so I know somewhat how to be prepared for either. I would just love love to deliver them nautrally as I much prefer it that way, but in the end it's not about me but about what is best for the babies. So we wll see what God's plans are. And I do not have anything to complain about as this has been smooth sailing.I would say next to Jude's pregnancy this has been the easiest and most enjoyed of all my pregnancies. I really thought because of my past issues with being pregnant and getting so so large, I was sure I was going to be incapacitated past 30 weeks, on bed rest at the very least..but I am definitely not. This is the first pregnancy I have had that is coming to an end that do not feel 'done' yet, so it is harder to want them out so soon. I've gained less weight than with my first two and relatively close to the same as I did with Jude (mind you I am only 36 weeks not 40). I am not uncomfortable and sleeping well (ha for now) and managing to still run things here at home (ok ok hubby has been exceptional). I am so so excited to meet these two little ladies and discover what having girls is all about. eeek! They are sure getting strong and the kicks at night are just crazy hard, I can tell they are running out of space. Time is running out and my nesting abilities have become a little over the top but I can feel the excitement building in our household. It's going to be a crazy couple of weeks but I can't wait!
