My Miracle Journey

[Godsjewel]

I forgot to tell you all something...

My husband told his friend we are having triplets and his friend knows a couple who has triplets He said when we are ready, he will set something up so we can meet them and get some advice. He said they love to talk about their story and what they've been through. They also went the IVF route and ended up with 2 girls and a boy that are now 5 yrs old.

I'm so thankful that we will be able to connect with someone in real life who will be able to educate us on raising triplets.

OH my gosh! That video is AMAZING! GOD is amazing!

Is it starting to get a little more real now?

It truly is! How can someone look at that and not believe in God?!?!?

It's starting to get real I think once they look more like babies than little aliens, then it will really smack me in the face

That's great hun. That will definitely come in handy. I saw a show, I think it was Baby's first day home, or something like that...and it was about multiples this one episode. They said how they always have everything ready and waiting by the door in this cart type thing for when they go out. And if they use something they replace it immediately as soon as they get home so they don't forget. They said they can't afford with multiples to not have something, lol. They named the cart something fun so that the kids will be drawn in and want to participate in keeping it stocked and ready as well.

Good morning!!!

So, I have something that has been weighing on my mind and I want to share it so you can pray for me.

When we were at the Dr's office on Tuesday, my husband asked him when will we get to a place in the pregnancy where it will be a "safe zone", pretty much asking when will we know all 3 are going to make it. The Dr gave an answer I wasn't ready for, he said when you hit 28 weeks. If I were to go into preterm labor before that, the chances of the babies surviving are minimal and if the do survive, have a greater chance of having some sort of health problem or disability. The Dr said he was seeing a patient who was pregnant with quadruplets and that at 20 weeks her body decided it was time to give birth. They couldn't stop the labor and she delivered all babies and none made it.

The Dr said that is why I have visits almost every 2 weeks, so he can check the length of my cervix. Once the cervix starts getting shorter and shorter until a certain point, that means that your body is ready to go into labor. So now I feel the pressure because it's my body.

Please pray that my body doesn't go into labor or start having contractions until my babies are past the 32 week mark, when everything in their little bodies have fully formed and developed. Please pray that I will have complete peace that everything will go well and in July I will see 3 healthy babies.

My husband said we are not in the safe zone until the babies are in our arms and even then we will have something to worry about. He was telling me how when Tay was a baby he would just look at her sleeping in the crib and think...please God, keep her safe and don't let anything happen to her.

If you know any more prayer warriors or are part of a church, please fill free to put a prayer request in for me. I need all the prayers I can get. I need my body to hold on to these little ones.

thank you all!!!

I am praying for you. Remember God is in control. They have survived 11 weeks so far, another 21 weeks is nothing to God, and while the doctors do tend to know more medically than we do, they don't know it all. The doctors were preparing us to bury Ethan after his 2nd day of life, but he's right next to me crawling around trying to get to the power cords. God always has the final say, and He's still in the miracle working business. Please don't let doubt creep in and cause you to miss out on the joy of experiencing pregnancy with those three little miracles you have wiggling inside of you right now. You're such a joyful spirit that I know this won't get you down too much, and we are praying for you. I am about to call my Bible study friends right now and ask them to start praying for you, too.

I can't believe Ethan is already 8 months old!!! That is a miracle that he is here and bringing you and your family so much joy.

You are right, this won't get me down, but I wanted to put it out there and get it off my chest. I will be claiming the word of God over my body and children. I will speak LIFE to my situation and the enemy WILL be defeated...he already is!

Thank you for your encouraging words and prayers. Love you sweetie

Sarah,

The clinical side of me wants to remind you that docs tend to give the worst-case scenarios because of the liability and malpractice implications. Also, that at the first signs of labor or your cervix shortening, they will modify your activity levels and try everything they can to keep your buns in your oven until they are more ready to arrive.

The spiritual side of me wants to tell you about little Evie, who was born to another Trooper family in our area. She was a high-risk IVF pregnancy who went into spontaneous, unstoppable labor at 26 weeks. Through God's healing hand and His grace, she is a happy and thriving almost-3-year-old who just became a big sister. Take heart in His victories, pray that the only voice you hear is His and that in His mighty name that enemy will be banished from your thoughts, your body, your family and your home.

Thank you so much for sharing this, something I definitely needed to hear.

 

[No Doubt]

Oh hun. I'm so sorry that you had to hear that and it made you feel that way. What I will say is that even in single pregnancies (mine included) woman always anticipate V-day...when the pregnancy is far enough along that your baby has a fighting chance if God forbid something did happen. So you're not feeling anything that other women don't, but I know it doesn't make it any easier. Also your hubbs is right. I bought a Snuza for Virtue to monitor his breathing at night and make sure he kept breathing while I was asleep. He wore it for the first 4 months of his life. If it wasn't for hubs not putting it him without telling me some nights, he'd probably still be wearing it. Even now, at 8 months, I have to check on him before I leave in the morning if I don't hear him moving around, or breathing a hard sigh.

BUT GOD...

Has a different plan and He knows what that plan is. I was talking to my grandmother last night and she told me what she always tells me..."You're not suppose to worry, the bible says that worrying is a sin. Worrying is like saying that you don't trust God." I know you trust God hun, you trust God with your husband, Tay, your own life...surely you can trust Him with your babies. It's difficult I know, to not want to have complete control, but God can take better care of them than you can, even in your womb. Give your babies to God, daily, hourly if you need to. Enjoy your pregnancy, and tell people when you're ready. Besides with 3 healthy babies in there, you won't be able to keep it a secret much longer!

Lord give our sister Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord build her faith in You. Remind her daily that You are in complete control and are fully capable. Clear her mind and remove any negative thoughts and thoughts of doubt so that she can focus solely on You and the promises in Your word. Help us to encourage her; bring Your word back to us, so that we may continue to use it to build up our sister. Lord we thank You for already bringing her babies to term. Now let us be patient and faithful in our waiting. In Jesus name, Amen!

Thank you for your encouragement and reminding me that I'm not going crazy lol!

I'm only human and will have my moments, but I truly know deep within that God has it all taken care of. I need to remember to keep myself in the background and let God take full charge of my life and pregnancy.

I don't think HisGrace could have said it better. Infact her words made me cry with joy..... God is still in the miracle making business. Still the head of our household, the God in our lives. When fear strikes us, it is a chance to hold onto Gods cloak and ask that he pick us up to see where we are surrounded. By angels, by grace and by his love.

To this day, I also go in and check on my baby when she is sleeping...... even after she is born, I just thank God he knew her birth date and the life He has prepared for His children. No Dr or fear driven story can take glory away from God and what he is capable of. From the moment your babies were formed out of cells, God has declared them to life. And into life they will come.

I will add you to our prayer list at church. I put you on there almost every week. I had a lot of the same fears. I really let it rob me of joy for the majority of my pregnancy. I wouldn't even take bump pictures until closer to 20 weeks because I was just so afraid of something happening. Next time around I have vowed not to do that because once I did start enjoying pregnancy it was over in a flash.

I am so happy to see you're almost at 12 weeks!

You're always in my prayers!
