Yesterday was a "good" day! Which is mildly hilarious considering both the twins are sick, Mama is running on empty, Daddy has been super busy at work and not sleeping well because someone tosses and turns trying to get comfortable with a giant belly allllll night long. So maybe the bar for good days is set at an all-time low - but we are going with it!
Yesterday we spent most of the day at Children's Hospital meeting with the team that will most likely be taking care of our girl. To say it was overwhelming would be an understatement, and yet we left with a sense of peace that knowing that God brought us to St. Louis so these fine doctors and nurses can help heal Stella while we have the support of family and friends. Stella had another echo and nothing has changed since the diagnosis - which is a really good thing! And she jumped up to the 22nd percentile in growth. Baby girl is gaining and we praise God for that, since we need all the baby fat on her we can get!
In addition, we are overwhelmed by how many people want to pray for us. I realize now that I have always taken for granted the fact that I was raised in a community of Christians, and am surrounded by people that fear the Lord and trust in His will. From the random texts I receive from friends sending their prayers, to the people I work with, to the strangers that pass along their prayers via friends and family, I'm blown away by how often God shows Himself to us in all of this.
We are three months from our due date which seems like an eternity, but I know the time is going to fly by. I cannot wait to meet this little girl. I know she is going to bring so much joy to our family, and stretch us in ways we never knew possible. I am grateful for the good days at home with two healthy children right now, even when they drive me crazy (which is a lot!) So for now we will rejoice in the good days, hunker down and pray through the bad ones, and try not to take for granted the blessings we receive in between!
