Family/Friends....this Thursday, February 28 is the 20 week ultrasound. Please be praying for us that day, as we prayerfully will be seeing a healthy baby growing in there and we will be finding out the gender. I am very anxious and nervous about this ultrasound, as at 16/17 weeks is when we found out Gracie's prognosis. This time we have no idea what is going on in there since I didn't do any test, which I am still thankful we made that decision. Reminder to myself and all of you, the chances of Trisomy 18 is less than 1% percent and the first ultrasound looked good. It is difficult to not be nervous though, because I keep replaying that ultrasound in my head, where I see a beautiful baby on the screen and then after hearing the doctor list all these things wrong with our baby. Extremely hard to remove from your mind and heart. I daily, hourly, every minute pray and plead...really, that there is a strong healthy baby growing in there. I will of course update my blog Thursday at some point, so be looking and please be praying. I know most of you have been already praying for us. We are so grateful.
A few of the verses helping me through this time:
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
the LORD is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The LORD will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
Phillipians 4:6-7
do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
