I am home!
I was discharged from the hospital on Sunday! Mitch came down on Saturday to spend the weekend with me (which was wonderful!!!), and they let me go home with him.
It is very nice to be home! It has been quite the roller coaster though. When they first admitted me they said I'd most likely be in the hospital until the baby was born. Then last wednesday I went into false labor and for a little bit thought that I was going to have our baby. After some intense re-hydration my contractions slowed down and stopped. Then I found out later last week that if I could make it through the weekend that they would send me home! I was thrilled with that news, but again it took some readjusting mentally and emotionally.
It has been a season of being flexible and having to adjust for sure. It was weird to be in the hospital and not have a newborn to care for, then it was weird to come home from the hospital and not have a newborn to care for. I am thrilled that our baby is still in my womb, dont get me wrong, it is the best place for it to be...but I guess I just have no way of knowing what to expect with this little one!
It was wonderful to be back in classes. I was able to skype into class while I was away, but it is great to be back and sitting in on classes.
I met with my Doula a couple days ago. Mitch and I are so blessed to have her! She is on staff here at the NTM headquarters and offers her services free of charge for staff and students. I always hoped to have a Doula and am blessed to have her here with us at this time! :)
As we are in a very exciting season, we cant help but be reminded of why we are here. We are here to train and be equipped. As individuals, and as a family. We cant help but be reminded of all those around this world that do not have hope. Our baby will be able to hear of God's saving grace and love, so many parents and children around this world do not have that option! Our hearts cry is for those to hear God's Word. We are trusting God every step of the way. As we train and as we grow as a family we are looking to Him to work through our lives and use us. :)
