It has been a week, but God has continued to show his power through all of the crazy ups and downs that we have been going through. Jeff suggested we change the nursery theme to an amusement park because we feel like we are on a wild ride that is never going to end. In the famous words of Jeff's friend Jeff Davidson, "this can only last 9 months!" This statement has actually brought us a good laugh when we start to grow anxious of this whole process.
On Wednesday the doctors did another protein test. This test will tell them how likely it is that I will go into labor in the next two weeks. The test came back negative! So, according to "medical science" we should not be going into labor for the next few week. I also had to have another ultrasound to check my cervical length. When we were admitted on Tuesday my length had gone back down to a 2.8 and my cervix had dropped. The new ultrasound showed that my cervical length had gone back to a 3.2 (that is something that keeps baffling the doctors, it's not suppose to get thicker after it starts thinning!) I love every time they look at me with total shock, because I get to remind them that God is in control! I think some of the doctors are starting to catch on because one of them told me Wednesday "prayer must work!" I am not really sure why we are going through all of this, but I do not doubt it is being used to share the gospel with people around us.
This weekend has been good for me. Jeff comes down during the week when he gets off work for a few hours, but it is still so hard when he leaves. However, on the weekends he stays the whole time. He seriously is the best husband in the world! I pray that all my single lady friends are blessed with a husband like mine...... he was worth the long wait :) He is so patient and is always asking what I need without any complaint. I have also gotten to see lots of family this week/weekend, Jeff and I have been blessed with so many people who love us!
One of the most exciting things for me this week is that my doctor approved a one hour wheel chair ride every day!! I technically am suppose to have a nurse with me, but I begged for Jeff and I to have some time to just be outside by our self. I have a really cool nurse that sent us out the back door and gave us her number to call when we needed back in. It was so nice to see some of the gift shops and spend time in the gardens they have here!
I know I say this a lot, but we are so thankful for all of your prayers and encouragement! We love each one of you! To God be the glory!
