My Rock

Have I mentioned how much I love this guy? He has a way of making things so much better for me. Last week I had another Dr's apt to recheck my blood pressure. I was very hopeful that everything was going to be great and that they would take me off bedrest. Why wouldn't they? I was doing good and felt fine. Well lets just say, my appointment didn't go real well. I ended up in labor and delivery doing an Non stress test getting steroid shots and radiology for a fluid check. I then found myself begging my Dr not to admit me.

With a lot of pleading I was able to go home with strict orders. I knew I would have to continue to endure more bedrest, weekly labs and NST's. I was bummed out but I knew I could handle it. Then the next day on my way out the door for my second steroid shot I got a phone call from my Dr. He told me that the ultrasound they had done the day before found a problem with the baby's bowel or intestine. He said he was not sure if it was life threatening or not so I needed to see a specialist immediately. The appointment was made for the following week.

My emotions were already on the edge. But that pretty much put me over the edge. I called Carlos and he came right home. He was asking me every question you could think of. Of course I didn't have any answers to give him. Later that night he decided to go play basketball to clear his mind. When he got home he could tell that I had cried myself to sleep. He woke me up and said that he wanted to give our son a fathers blessing. It was a priceless moment. I could feel all of the love and concern he had for our child in his voice. We both knew then, whatever the outcome that we would be okay.

As we went to my appointment with the perinatologist yesterday, the hospital it was at was right across the street from the Temple. It made me even more grateful for the eternal family I have. And for my extended family that had been fasting and praying for me and our son.I knew the Lord had us and continues to have us in his care.

I'm so grateful that he has blessed me with the husband that I have. He is truly my Rock! He is not perfect and neither am I. But he is what is perfect for me and I love him so much!
