I just laid and watched TV and thought about alot of things.
Scotty played Family Fued.
I wasn't too worried about anything for once. I loved laying there listening to the sweet sound of my daughters heartbeat.
Although it is a different hospital, I experienced all kinds of emotions going into labor and delivery. I wasn't put into a room in the way back of the floor. I wasn't taken the long way around to shield me from seeing newborns. I was wheeled right into a regular room where I heard the glorious cries of a newborn baby just born. It took me back to laying in that room for so many days trying to make my body give birth to a baby who was already in heaven.
I truly honestly thought that I would never have another baby and this hasn't been the easiest experience. I can't even begin to explain the emotions that happen during a pregnancy after a loss. The happiness and thankfulness is like none other but the fear, grief, and anxiety are gripping. And then to find out that there are problems and have a high risk pregnancy--well, that set me over the edge. I prayed so hard and knew this baby's life was in His hands.
"Delight yourself also in the Lord: and he shall give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4
I truly never thought I would make it this far. In the back of my mind, the thought of her not making it has always been there. I have been neurotic and cried when she wasn't moving as much as I thought.. Someone told me recently "When your faith increases, your fear decreases"..
Last night as I lay there, thinking as I listened to her steady heartbeat and knowing I've been preparing for this sweet life at home, I realized that I am probably going to bring home a perfect baby. A baby who will bring hope in the wake of our storms, a baby whose face I will look into and know she is here for a purpose. Redemption.
The good news is I got to come home from the hospital and everything is OK for now:-)
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
