35 week Appointment

This past Thursday, I went in for an ultrasound to check on the size of this new little sweet pea. The ultrasound tech measured the brain, then checked my week status before measuring the brain again. As you can imagine, this double check left me anxious to see Dr. Shah and to hear the results. Due to a translation issue, I had to wait for almost an hour in the exam room, becoming more concerned with every passing minute. When Dr. Shah finally came, he confirmed his suspicions from two weeks prior, this little peanut is extremely low and in fact, was measuring almost a week bigger than originally thought. The Lord is so good! I was so relieved that everything was alright, but was ashamed at how worried I became at the possibilities. As I sat in the room waiting, I prayed that the Lord would guide my initial reaction, knowing that our wittiness is so evident in how we handle information. Although Pete and I know fully that the Lord is in control of our lives and that of our children, I was made very aware of my lack of faith. I am thankful that the Lord gave me this little tiny wake up call, and allowed me to see my heart. I pray that the He will continue to mold me and strengthen my faith each day so that I may be a reflection of Him.
