Sunday began the start of a great week. After missing a week of church, we both were in great need to go and hear His word and Praise Him. We actually began something that we had been discussing for sometime....but never found ourselves there, we attended Sunday School. Wow! What a blessing that was to go and dig deeper into the teaching and love of Jesus Christ. It wasn't scripture that was new to us, but it was a reminder of things we tend to forget or not think often of. The lesson was on The Good Shepherd, and it was a lesson that can grab hold of you and give you chills. I often feel like the lost sheep and The Good Shepherd will go and lead me back into his flock. It's such a security in KNOWING that He loves us that much, that he can call us by name and show us greener pasture. Serving the Lord is something that I look forward to showing and sharing with our son. No gift is greater that we can we give him than that of raising him in a Christian home.
Sunday didn't end worship time for us, nor should it for anyone. Roundtrip from Pikeville to Lexington, our radio couldn't seem to turn off the dial of The Message radio station. For those not familiar, you can find it on Sirius/XM radio, that features awesome contemporary Christian music. Some of the messages that come from the music are incredible. Driving on the mountain parkway I almost found myself having a revival inside. Just so amazing some of the songs were written for me or about my life.
Dr. Visit
Hadn't been too long since the last appointment, and thank God everything looked relatively the same. BP=good, no protein, strong baby heartbeat were once again an assurance that things are on the right track. No change to Michele's routine is necessary and we will once again make our trip in two weeks for another checkup. After some lunch and a long wait due to short on staff today, we got to have another ultrasound. This time they were checking the cord blood flow, uterine artery flow, and aortic arch. The scans all came back normal in that the blood flow was strong and consistent; this was an important scan as it can detect any early abnormalities that pre-e/HELLP may be starting. With pre-e the flow is restricted and the growth of the baby is hindered. With u/s we were also able to get a quick profile glance of our baby boy once again...always exciting!!
No u/s are scheduled at this time, just wait and see. Dr. appointment is scheduled for two more weeks and that will make Michele 24 weeks gestation. As the nerves try to settle in at the 25 week mark (Gunner's arrival), we are going to try to remember that we have A Good Shepherd. We know that when we feel like the weight is getting heavy we must "let go and let God".
Until next time....we are keeping faith and know all is in the hands of the Great Physician!
Continued prayers.
