Well I am home from a crazy weekend! Most everyone blogs now so I figured it was time that I join the insanity! Not to mention that the doc put me on bed rest. So I guess I have time now! For those of you that don't know I was 20 weeks pregnant last Thursday. But Friday I started having some problems. I sent my kids home with my precious friend Jenni Schmidt, THANK YOU JENNI, and went to the doctors office. From there the nurse took me to North Central Baptist. I stayed at
NCB through today, Sunday. They monitored me over the weekend and checked me for preterm labor with a test called a Fetal
Fibronectin test which came out negative. (
that's good!) It tests to see if you will go into labor with in the next week or so. So, I was able to come home on bed rest... Not exactly what I had prayed for, but I am blessed to be in my bed with MY pillows! Oh yes, and Grady's hunting dog, which is sleeping in my bed. I am so grateful to everyone that prayed for me and checked on me while I was there. I had total peace during the entire weekend. I could really feel the power of peoples prayers. Thank you!!! Community is a beautiful thing!! By the way we are having a GIRL!! Some of you may remember that a month before I got pregnant Charis came to our room one morning and announced that she was going to have a sister and that I was going to have a baby!!....We laughed.... Well she was right! So now we bake... and bake. Peanut, as Grady named her, has to stay in the oven for several more weeks. Your prayers are cherished. I will go to see a
perinatologist on Tuesday. Please pray for her to have discernment and clarity in how to proceed. Also I will see my OB. Please pray for her as well. It is always a new adventure to bring a King baby into the world so, here we go!! I will keep you posted as I know more!!
Also while I was in the hospital Michele Woodman arrived!! She is ready to have little Luke! Please keep her in your prayers as well!!
