So I had a prenatal appointment today... and you know that picture up above with the growth of my little one?... well, that's exactly what my blessing looks like... we found out that the baby has turned and is breech.  My appointment a couple of weeks ago, everything was fine, but now there's a little concern.  My doctor is willing to deliver the baby that way, but there's just an added factor of concern there.  My next appointment is in two weeks, so we're praying that the little one will turn back around.  I was going to ask for prayer that our baby isn't jaundice, but now we have this to think about as well.

All of our babies, but the last one, has had extreme jaundice and needed to be under bili-lights for about a week.  It's not the end of the world, but certainly hard on a mommy (and daddy) to have to spend that long in the hospital without the other kids! I had kind of forgotten about it cuz it didn't happen with the last one and our fourth just was put under the lights for a night, but I do remember how hard that was to see that little one laying naked in the lights... like I said, it certainly wasn't the end of the world... when I think of those who go to the hospital to deliver a gift and come home empty handed, I know I've been blessed... it's just hard and I'm praying that this one will not have it (my husband has something with a real fancy name that is passed down to the babies that make their jaundice worse than "normal").

So, I would so appreciate your prayers when you feel lead, to pray that this little one will turn around.  I'm feeling fine, other than really tired getting The Clean Heart, Clean Home thing ready (you're just going to have to be patient with me ladies... tee hee), but other than that, I've really been doing well.  This has kind of upset me, as the doctor talked of c-section as a possibility and even though I know that they do them all the time, my heart aches for Missey's family... and I started thinking "what if that were all the more time I had?"... kind of made me feel more overwhelmed.  As hubby reminded me, though, God is not a God of fear... and so I'm trying very hard to remove those thoughts and enjoy the time I have with my children before baby comes.

Thanks so much for reading this post entirely about ME... and thanks for your prayers.

In Him,
Amy
