Remember when I had a minor meltdown about our baby and "God, why don't you just fix the problem already!!"?? (Lessons in Patience)
Today God answered our prayers, and the problem is GONE. In the five weeks since the last ultrasound, I've prayed and also let go of my worry. I've let go of the problem and I'm trusting the Lord that everything will be fine. Today the doctor told me that the placenta is far enough away that we don't need to be concerned about that anymore. But she wants me to come back in three weeks for another ultrasound because he's big. According to their measurements he currently weighs 7 pounds 6 ounces. But there's a margin of error of 14 ounces, so he could only be 6 and a half pounds. Still, babies gain about a half pound a week and we've got six weeks to go... This boy is going to be big... Well, I guess I could worry about that but once again I'm faced with a choice - hang onto the worry and fear (seriously, I'm afraid of having a big baby, every ounce bigger just means more pain, doesn't it?), or let go. Let God take care of us and trust that everything will be fine. Even if its not "fine" by my definition, it WILL be fine because God will take care of us and bring us through it.
Thank you Lord for answering our prayers and fixing the placenta. Thank you again for a healthy baby. And thank you for whatever size he's going to be, because he's in your hands and we know that you're working it all for the best!
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
~Colossians 4:2
