Pregnancy is a lot of waiting, isn't it? The 2ww to test...the waiting for the lines to show up on the stick...the waiting at the doctor's office visits...waiting in-between visits...waiting to tell friends and family members, and so on...up til delivery day when the waits finally end-we finally see and get to hold our precious babies!
Lord, how impatient I have become! Two previous babies that never really stressed me or gave me cause to worry...but my 3rd baby died at 20wks...I never knew such pain and loss before! The wait for him was long but the wait for myself after was longer. I had no idea who I was or what I was supposed to be doing. I had just about given up hope that God would allow me to have another child.
And then, my first 28-day cycle in 15 years...I get pregnant! Exactly one year from the loss of my 3rd baby, my 4th is expected to be here!
The waiting has begun again, and this time the waits are excruciating...but I will take it-the sickness, the insomnia, backaches, headaches, heartburn, and all the woes...I won't ask to be relieved! I will wait. I will pray and I will seek comfort in knowing it is a miracle...every second of it!
