I had another ultrasound yesterday and am so thankful to be able to say that our baby is still growing and has a normal heartbeat. With a chronic placental abruption, we will likely face many ups and downs, but I am praising God for each additional day that He keeps this precious baby alive and growing. Each day is a gift and a miracle, and I pray that God will continue to protect this little baby one painfully slow day at a time. I have found so much peace in the verse above. There is literally nothing I can do to help my precious little baby except be still. Every bit of this situation is fully in God's hands, and I trust that He will fight for me. On my own, this feels impossible, but I know that God will give me the strength I need to get through each day. And that's truly all I need. Yes, I would love to know the outcome of this pregnancy. I ache to know whether or not I will get to hold my baby in my arms. I would love to know how many ups and downs we will face or how much bleeding there will or won't be. I would love to be able to say that the thought of five months of bed rest doesn't scare me at all. But I don't know any of that. What I do know, however, is that today my baby is still alive. And I will rejoice in each new day that I get to claim that miracle.

Amen!
You both have been so present in my thoughts- especially yesterday driving by the THS soccer fields! All the uncertainty is so excruciating, but I hope you're able to find some comfort in knowing you're never alone in this. That little fighter is already so very loved! xoxo
