An update

I honestly don't know how to start this blog entry so I'll just dive right into it. I have felt so much love come through my door the past couple days. I feel so blessed I can't even explain it. My friends and loved ones have taken such good care of me and my family. Drew has been a real trooper. He's keeping up with everything and doing it with a smile on his face and that endearing whistle of his!

Drew and I both feel that the outcome of this trial will be a positive one. I can't say that won't mean she will not come early or that she will not need extra help. It doesn't mean this won't be hard. It just means we have a good feeling about it. That being said, I'll share with you what the doctor told me yesterday. He redid the Fetal Fibronectin test and said that if it comes back positive again that we will have more need to worry. He told me I am to be completely homebound. I can get up to fix a sandwich or do other little things but most of my time needs to be in bed. My next appointment is in 2 weeks.

I have felt pretty good emotionally (thank you Zoloft!). I have had a hard time today because I missed my Grandma Stewart's funeral up in Utah. I wanted to be there so badly. I am thankful this happened now though and not while I was on the road to Utah or home. I don't know what I would have done. So I know the Lord is looking out for me and this sweet baby.

Thank you to everyone who has helped or who has been praying for us. We have had a sweet spirit in our home the last couple of days and I know it is because of the many prayers that are being said in our behalf.

We will keep praying, and I'm grateful you feel peace about the situation. The Lord has you in his hands. And you have already learned the lesson of letting others serve you. That may be one of the hardest lessons to learn!
