Don't you just love this statue??? Todd got it for me yesterday and it sums up exactly how I've been feeling. The little card that comes with it says "Awaiting a Miracle." And that's what I'm doing...awaiting my miracle that is my precious baby Grace. I have this sitting next to my bed to remind me why I am laying in this bed on a constant basis. I am entering week 4 of bedrest. Honestly I never thought I'd last this long. Not that I thought I'd have the baby by now, but I thought I wouldn't follow the dr's orders and actually stay in my bed. I know, call me a rebel, but I just didn't intend on obeying when I first got the order...I thought it would pass and I'd be and feel fine but I realized quickly that staying down actually has benefited this pregnancy, much to my shagrin. I have had less contractions and cramps since being down. I notice how many times I need to go to the bathroom however, which seems like a million in a day, and I am very aware of anything "extra" that I might do because it hurts later.
I am of course anxious for this baby to get here but I'm grateful that she's healthy and safe where she is and getting her last minute instructions from our Father in Heaven! That is a rewarding and peaceful thought and gives me the strength to make it one more day!

I love that statue! That is so sweet of Todd to get it for you. I am glad that Grace is still cooking, even though were excited for her to be here... especially you. The last few weeks of pregnancy are hard, but I feel like they are the most important! Even though Maddy came a week late (and I felt like I was going to die) i couldnt be more grateful that she stayed in there as long as she could because she was perfectly healthy which was exactly what i wanted. I cant imagine how hard it is for you but it will be sooo worth it!
Thanks Ash! I know I have a very special spirit coming and I don't want to rush her!
