More praises!

September 19, 2012

I had another ultrasound yesterday and have more wonderful news to report! Baby Jack is completely healthy and weighing in at about 2 lbs right now! Praise our Father! And the doctor prayed with me at the ultrasound and said she felt like I was completely healed! She said I have a blessed pregnancy. She is such a gift! God is so good to us!
Another thing I learned yesterday which was new to me is that I will be induced the first week of December because anyone who has what I have is supposed to deliver around 36 weeks and not go full term. So...I ask for your prayers that I will have an uneventful induction and be able to birth Jack naturally and not need a c-section. I know many horror stories related to inductions, please do not post any :) and was not really wanting to go that route, but after all God has done for me, I completely believe it will work out exactly how He wants it.
I am learning through all this that I am in no way in control of my life and he wonderfully controls everything and will work it for His will. It is hard to relinquish control, especially as a woman (all my girls know what I am saying :) ) but I am learning and am thankful for the journey. There are many other areas of my life right now as well as this pregnancy where I basically have no control over what happens and I am learning to give it all to God and focus on what He wants me to focus on. So if you are trying to control all your circumstances and feeling overwhelmed, just pray to God and ask Him to show you his will for your life and try to take it day by day. Colossians 1:9-10
The Lord gives and takes away, my heart will chose to say, Lord, blessed be your name!

Another wonderful update

Hello friends! Thank you all for following our blog and praying for us! I had another ultrasound Tuesday and our little baby boris as health has can be! His brain pressures are all better than normal the doctor said! Praise God! He is in the 47th percentile and looks just beautiful! And let me tell you he is very active!
On another note, Karl has had a week off between jobs and that has been wonderful! Andrew started school yesterday and keeps me very busy with his after school activities every day! Isaac is almost 18 months and very active and adorable! Can't wait to see what God has planned for us this upcoming year! It is going to be interesting and challenging and we appreciate all your prayers!
The Lord gives and takes away, my heart will choose to say, Lord blessed be your name!
