Heartbeat

I got to hear that little heartbeat again today. The lump in my breast that I have not mentioned to anyone because I just wanted to keep it between God and me is probably just fibrocystic breasts. Dr. Myatt did not appear to be concerned. I am so relieved. I didn't think God would add that to my plate, but His ways are not mine, His plans are not mine.
Thankfully, in all things, His plans are better.

It is a good thing I am not in charge of my life. I would make it all roses. I would leave out the thorns. But the thorns have brought the most blessings and growth. I would have missed all that.
I would have left the thorns out of my children's lives, too.

Lord,

I need some help with my heart. You know the problem. In case anyone ever reads this, I don't think I want to tell them the problem. It involves others and should be kept private. Please send me the help I need.
I think that will suffice. You know how to answer. I am expecting an answer today.

I love You!

Precious Lord and Saviour,

Thank you so much for Isabella Grace. I love her so much. Her wiggles and kicks are beautiful and precious. I see babies and think of her. My arms ache for her. My heart is full of her. I can't believe You gave me this precious miracle. I can't wait to meet her.

Thank you for her fiesty little spirit, evident even in the womb. She cracks me up! Thank you for forming her and shaping her.

Guard and protect her from all harm in my womb and after she arrives.

Heal her now from the calamities that have come.

I believe You have a perfect plan but I also believe it is to give her to me.

I submit to You even if this is not Your plan. I love You and know You love us both.

Thank you, Lord for all You are and all you have done!

In Jesus Name,

Cheryl

Hmmmmmmmmmm.............
I went from not being able to imagine that I wouldn't hold her to petrified that I wouldn't.

Isabella had a weird week where she really didn't move much. I was so afraid every day that something had gone wrong. She moved some every day, but there weren't those constant little kicks and wiggles that keep me going. I also put on some fluid weight that scared me.

Her activity levels are back up, but my confidence isn't.

I can't wait until next week. Another sonogram. I am praying for resolution of the cystic hygroma.
