Where do I begin?!
Just days before we were supposed to be leaving for SC for Frankie to preach in Union for a trial sermon, he went to a church service in Louisville. There he had an overwhelming sense that Union was not where God wanted us. He came back to our apartment and told me he truly believed God did not intend for us to go there. I think my response was, “You have got to be kidding?!”
Long story short, we ended up in Heath Springs, SC. At a smaller church in a very small community…but Frankie felt sure this was where God wanted us. We have been at the church about 5 months and so far things are going well.
Lydia is as wild and smart as ever. She daily amazes us with her memory, vocabulary and general toddler antics.
I am 35 weeks pregnant and the last month has been filled with more anxiety than I imagined. I have attempted to pray continuously when the anxiety begins, but my success has not been what I’d like. I know fully that God is in control, but that does not garuantee we will have another child and the thought of going through that process again is just so dreadful.
I am going to the OB two times a week. They did diagnose me with MTHFR…a genetic blood disorder that causes clotting. It’s not a huge deal except during/after pregnancy…often causing miscarriage & fetal demise. I take daily Lovenox shots and a baby aspirin. They are planning to induce labor on the 2 8 of this month. I’d much, much rather a natural labor & delivery, but I’m trying not to dwell on that. Because of possible complications, I know the induction is the safest route.
Anyway, enough for now. I’ll post more soon. We just got Internet in our house! Yah!
