Well...I've hit over 15,000 visitors! That's something to be excited about!

I'm also excited to be home.

About 3.5 weeks ago, I was sent to labor & delivery. I was about 24 weeks along in my pregnancy. Without going into too much detail, I was put on hospital bed rest for 18 days. Those days flew by so quickly but nothing could get me home fast enough.

Myself, my babe and my "complication" are stable.

I was seen by high-risk doctors and kept in the high-risk unit. :-/ Bleh. They also took me through the NICU, should my baby come early.

BUT I'm home now! 27 weeks 4 days along...I'll be 28 weeks this Thursday! And I'm pretty sure I'm in the beginning of my third trimester! Thank you Lord Jesus for letting me and baby make it this long. Each day that baby stays in the womb is a blessing and so good for their health and continued development. That's all I wanted was to hold onto this little soul...this soul that God has blessed me with. A child to raise up to love Him and be a #littlearrow for God's word.

I'm home...on bed rest. I'm not on complete restricted bed rest but there's a lot they don't want me to do. I didn't realize how much I was doing before all of this 'complicated stuff' happened. All the bending, lifting, straining, etc. Don't tell my hubs...but I snuck in a hold with my baby girl last night! ;)

I have countless doctor's appointments in the coming weeks, they monitor me and I have to monitor the babe while I'm home. It's all so worth it. My due date is August 20...we'll see if we make it that far. I'm shooting for at least 10 more weeks, we shall see!

Being home is the biggest blessing. Being able to kiss my girl and my husband good night. Read her bedtime stories. Help get her ready in the a.m. Use my own bathroom! Haha.

So I'm just trying to stay focused on the big picture here and that this situation is only temporary. Everyone's prayers and well wishes are greatly appreciated. I think God definitely heard the prayers bc I think that's what has gotten us through the past few weeks. It hasn't been easy and I don't know if it will get any easier. But that's why I continue to trust in God and know he's a good God. A miracle maker. A healer. That's all I can do right now is surround myself, my family, my loves with His word and goodness.

Thank you all so much for reading! Blessings 'til next time...
