Another narrow escape! Yay God!
If you've been reading my other blog entries, you remember that last Monday I frantically got everyone up and dressed and ready and out the door to go to the OB office to see a sonogram of their newest sibling---only to realize that poor preggo-brained Mommy had gotten the times mixed up, and we were four hours early for our appointment! Therefore, we had to reschedule for next week.
My biggest joy in that frustrating situation was the fact that I did NOT have to see the dr and get the usual "please hurry up and come to your senses and schedule your c-section" lecture that the good dr. always has ready for me. (I love my dr, she is a GREAT obstetrician, but that's just it! She is a trained surgeon, and that's what she knows!!). The Lord mercifully spared me!
In fact, I hadn't seem the good Dr. G for 3-4 weeks, so this morning I was an emotional wreck as I prepared for my visit. I KNEW the pressure would begin for real today, as she desires to do the surgery at 38 weeks, which is exactly what I am now!! So, I was impatient with my family and crabby with my husband as I prepared to leave (even though I had to wake him up to control the chaos so I could take a shower---didn't get it done before the troops awakened, and he is working nights this week, and should have been sleeping all day! He kindly got up for 30 min for me, yikes!).
When I arrived, the nurse took me back to the scales (every pregnant woman's FAVORITE part of the visit, HA!), and said, "Did they tell you that Dr. G is not here??". I was taken aback, thinking I had again wasted a trip downtown, and she continued, "Yes, you'll be seeing the nurse practitioner, if that's okay!".
OKAY?!!!! Glory!!! Hallelujah! I somehow escaped the lecture AGAIN!!! :) So, I cheerfully tinkled in a cup and let them weigh me, and got my GBS test done, which they were also ansy about (I've never tested positive)---and I was on my way within 15 minutes!!!
I got in my van and sighed very deeply. WHY am I always so surprised when the Lord shows me over and over and over and over and over how FAITHFUL He is, how FOR ME He is, how anxious He is to prove He is concerned about every little thing in my life??? HOW can I so easily forget that???
I Peter 5:7 says, "Casting ALL your cares upon Him, for HE CARES FOR YOU". Thank you, Lord, for your tender mercies, and your gentle patience, and your interest in all things in my life.
......Now, if I could just get this baby to be born before NEXT Monday's appointment! :)

Wow! That is just awesome how once again you didn't have to go through the whole hullabaloo! PRAISE HIM! I just can't get over that you are due so soon...to me it has flown by, but I am not the pregnant one! Can't wait to hear the exciting news!!! I'm sure God will spare you next week too, or at least make it not-so-bad!
Oops...almost forgot to post my name...
