Hi everyone! So mommy has been very busy lately and hasn't had time to get me on here to write to you. Mommy had 2 baby showers already and has gotten tons of wonderful stuff for me! I am so blessed to have so many people in mommy and daddy's lives that love me. Mommy's co-workers threw me a great party and so did mommy and daddy's church friends. Thank you everyone for all of your love! I have also gotten cards and money in the mail from some of daddy's side of the family through a mail shower called the Shower of Love. Isn't that so neat! Oh and mommy's friend Lisa sent her a necklace in the mail with my name on it. Mommy loves it and has been wearing it ever since. Thank you Lisa!
So yesterday mommy and I went to the doctor and we found out mommy is 1 cm dilated! I am on my way! Next Tuesday we will get an ultrasound and you will get to see me again. I will make sure mommy and daddy post a picture. The doctor was also talking to mommy about artificial breathing. He was basically saying that he did not recommend this due to my condition. Mommy was very brave though and kindly told the doctor that her and daddy will do everything for me that they would do for all of their other children. That means whatever the doctors would do for any other child that is healthy, is what they will do for our me! She told him as soon as it becomes harmful or is putting me through pain, then they would make the choice to let me go be with Jesus. But until then they will give me a chance at life...even if means just for a few hours, days, or months. Then of course mommy got tears in her eyes. The doctor got a bit uncomfortable and said oh yes, yes I it is totally up to you as his parents. I just want you to be thinking about it all. You could tell he felt a bit badly about suggesting that we shouldn't treat me like any other baby. But we both understand that he is just doing his job in the medical field which is to give factual information to the best of his knowledge.
Mommy and I (Ha! Cause I go where she goes) are going back to work soon and she is a bit nervous. So she needs your prayers. She has a lot to do and is getting more emotional as the day of my arrival draws closer. Yesterday she cried with daddy and told him how she was struggling with everything, especially putting my room together not knowing if the Lord will let me come home with them from the hospital. Daddy told her it was good for her to cry it out and he knows it is hard for her.
Here is something mommy and I read this morning:
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. John 9:1-3
Mommy and daddy know that a great work is being done in me and through me. God has given mommy and daddy this trial for a purpose that is for our good and His glory. For our purpose is to be transformed into the image of Christ day by day. Although this trial is almost too much for mommy and daddy to endure, God gives them the grace and strength to put one foot in front of the other knowing that God loves them and me so much and does everything out of love and not harm. May God get the glory as they walk in faith trusting in Him!
Oh and this weekend I have two more showers. One at mommy's friend Caly's house and one at grandpa's house. We can't wait! Talk to you soon! XOXO
