Yes! I'm pregnant! I saw two beautiful pink lines last week but I thought it was too good to be true. Then Becky, the God-sent nurse who has helped me through three wonderful pregnancies and births and cried with me through three heart-wrenching miscarriages, called with the lab results.
"We're good to go!" she said.
EDD is March 19, 2006.
I've been worried with such silly, trivial matters....
I'm pregnant! What will people think?
I'm pregnant! How will I handle another?
I'm pregnant! I'm 41!!
And I've been worried with darker matters....
What if I miscarry again?
What if the baby has a birth defect?
What if something happens to Clint? or me?
I should put my mind on things above....
"Lo, children are a blessing from the Lord..."
"Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine within your house, your children as olive plants all around you table..."
"Commit your activities to the Lord and your plans will be achieved."
"I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned or his children begging bread. He is always generous, always lending, and his children are a blessing."
Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful blessing and this awesome responsibility... even if only for a short while. Put my mind at ease and fill me with Your joy!
