We have had some reasons for concern about the health of our baby.... So far, everything seems to have a logical (and harmless) reason and my chats with our midwife here and our midwife there have been reassuring. But when faced with an abnormality, it is hard not to worry. When it comes down to it, even if we were going to lose our baby, the only thing we can do is pray and grieve (which we have done much of both). John so gently reminded me that if God chose to take our baby, it is only out of His love and care for our baby. God is a whole lot better parent than John or I ever will be! John has been so loving and supportive: holding me, wiping away my tears, and making me laugh! I am trying to rest and learning to trust in a deeper way the One who has been knitting together our precious baby!

Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun until the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.
The Lord is high above the nations, and His glory above the heavens.
Who is like the Lord our God Who dwells on High,
Who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in earth!
He raises up the poor our of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;
That He may set them with princes, even the princes of His people.
He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children.
Praise the Lord.

Psalm 113:2-9
