A Week of Waiting

Again I write, without having met our new little one, but this time another week has gone by. As we continue to wait, the Lord is revealing new truths to me each day. A few nights this past week I have woken up wondering and worrying if the baby is ok. I fear that something might be wrong, but yet I know the Lord is in control. Each time, I spent time praying and have been comforted by the hope of knowing that God is sovereign. On Thursday, after seeing the doctor, I started having contractions and went in to be monitored. The nurse thought for sure I was in labor and sent me home saying she would see me again soon. All day I waited anxiously, contractions coming and going, but nothing happened. By the end of the day, Kevin and I were both physically tired and frustrated. We again had to let go and trust that everything was in the Lord's hands. But as I now think back at the whole week, we truly have been blessed to have so much time together to rest and prepare for this baby. Neither of us had many plans so we have both been home with Micah, spending lots of sweet moments together, walking, playing at the park, and just enjoying one another. Even as we wait together, God has been faithful!
