Well, it came and went. July 29th was my due date for my second pregnancy, and I had been dreading it a little bit. I was hoping not to be sad all day, and thankful that when the day came I wasn’t. There were reminders all around of the Lord’s goodness, and with other family celebrations going on I didn’t have much time to think about it. It’s strange to imagine that if everything had functioned correctly there’d be a little baby around here right now.

Today was my 11 week OB appointment, of which I was also dreading. I felt fearful all day that we wouldn’t be able to find a heart beat, or something else would be wrong. Thankfully I had a bunch of sweet friends and family members praying for me… praying that I wouldn’t have a spirit of fear (which is not from God), but peace. Yet again, I need constant reminders of His Word and to moment by moment trust in Him. That probably won’t change with all the things there are to worry about when I’m a mother! My doctor’s appointment went well. We heard the heart beat and the baby is in the right place this time. We are so thankful and joyful and praising God for this good news!
