Happy to be home!

They sent me home yesterday at 2:30PM ordering me to bed rest and lots of fluid intake. The AFI levels went higher but not enough to return to normal life for me or to go back to work. The doctor will monitor me twice a week though a special ultra-sound so if there is a need for an emergency c-section, he will go ahead and get the baby out. I'm still working through all these major changes but very comforted to know that this is perfectly ordained from our Lord and much needed. No matter what the outcome, normal delivery or a c-section, I'm content. I have lot of things that need to be taken care of before the baby arrives so I'm making a to-do-list in my mind but kinda limited to doing a few things. God has blessed me with good friends and they are insistent on asking me how they can help but I'm still figuring out where I need help first. In all this, I'm so thankful for His goodness and comfort. Continue to pray that God will be glorified in all this and that His saints will be encouraged in whatever happens.

Hey Baby Jo (and Fam): Thanks for sending me the e-mail so I can keep up with your changes and pray for you more often. I don't check my friends' blogs often enough to stay in the loop on my own. I'm glad that God was able to use this time to focus your mind on Him and I'm glad you're at home now.

Just read all your posts. We will be praying boldly that God turns your baby, keeps it in & you can have a normal delivery! For now make the most of the time to REST! Read, reflect & know that all those things you want to get "done" aren't as important as you & baby's health.
