"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)

Yesterday was a LONG day. My prenatal appointment on Thursday was canceled due to wintry weather. I woke up yesterday morning and called to discuss rescheduling and they had me come in yesterday for the monitoring and a regular prenatal visit. During the monitoring, I noticed the baby's heartbeat would be irregular every now and then. So the midwife came in and listened and she heard it as well. She said sometimes babies can have an irregular heartbeat and it clears up when they're born. She said sometimes it can be because the baby has had hiccups. They continued monitoring. The midwife talked to one of the doctor's and they recommended sending me on to the hospital for extended monitoring because of my pregnancy history. So off to the hospital we went. We were there for a few hours. While we were there, they were really nice to give us dinner. My whole family was with me. So they let me order dinner and then gave my hubby a couple of coupons for him and the children to go to the cafeteria to eat. I was so thankful for that because we hadn't had the opportunity to eat since 11:30am that morning which was when we left for my prenatal appointment. And I have to say - that hospital food was really good! And the children did really well! It really helped that they put me in a room and the whole family could be in there with me. So we were able to watch TV. That was really helpful! We are truly blessed with good children.
Everything is still on schedule for Monday. My prayer is that our baby's lungs are fully developed and matured so that they can go ahead and induce me Tuesday. Please continue to keep me and the baby in your prayers. We could also use some prayers for my husband's job situation. His day job just drastically cut back hours. Not good......so we're praying for direction and guidance to know what we need to do. On the other hand, it means that my hubby will be around this week. With hopefully having the baby, I am thankful that my hubby won't have to worry about daytime work schedules while I'm in the hospital. He should be able to stay at the hospital with me the whole time depending on how long they keep me. So I am just ever so thankful for that. Maybe it worked out like that for that very reason! You never know.....
THanks for the update. To tell you the truth, my husband lost his job 3 weeks before my baby was born - scared me to death! However, the Lord was faithful to show me that He is in control and was there to help when we needed it. My friends gathered around and gave us food - not a bill went unpaid - and I had my husband with me to help during recooperating. It was a blessing in disguise. Just hang in there... trust in God. He'll see you through. I'll keep your baby girl in prayer...
Thanks for the update. I checked last night (just in case you updated). I will be praying all weekend.

Thank you for all your encouragement . It means a lot to me. (((HUGS)))
The ultimate goal of Christian home education is to train children to impact the world for God. We want our children to not only hear and learn God's Word, but also be doers of God's Word. Therefore, we strive to teach them:
SERVICE - How to serve God and others
ACHIEVEMENT - To do the best they can in all they do from academic subjects to chores to serving others and more
LOVE - To love God and one another
TRUTH - To live their lives based on the absolute Truth of God
The name of this blog is the acronym for these four areas that we strive to teach our children:
S.A.L.T. - Service, Achievement, Love, Truth
