Lab Tests Tomorrow

The weekend is coming to a close, and I'm looking forward to the results of my blood tests tomorrow. Despite my not-so-hot bloodwork on Thursday, my pregnancy symptoms (especially nausea and sensitivity to smell) are going strong. I'm hopeful that the baby is experiencing healthy growth and development.

My HCG level was 452 on Thursday, which means it should be around 1800 tomorrow. God willing, it will be right on target (or higher). I'm praying for good news. I can't imagine that God would provide this incredible miracle, only to take it away. However, stranger things have been known to happen.

Right now, I'm thanking God for this pregnancy and praying that we will meet and know this child on earth.

In His grip,
Ramona

Ramona,
I've been so consumed with Kate that I have not had time to Congratulate you. Sooo... CONGRATULATIONS!!! I could not be more thrilled. I have been dilligent in praying for you,Wade Liliana and this wee one and will continue to do so. It seems alittle odd to be praying for continued nausea, tiredness and sensitivity to smells but I understand right now they are a comfort. Sohere's to being so tired you need to nap when Liliana naps, nausea so bad you can't make dinner and Wade has to bring home Taco Bell(Nacho Bell Grande was my favorite)everynight and smells bothering you so bad you're tempted to put a clothes pin on your nose.

Take care of yourself,
Jane

Ramona-
I'll look forward to seeing you post later today and will be praying in the meantime for positive results - high HCG numbers! I know it will be a long way to providing some peace, but I also know your cautiousness. We'll just keep praying for this little one's development and your symptoms!

Praying for you throughout the day today. God's ways are indeed mysterious, but we have cause for optimism. . .
The promise that He answers prayer according to His will. . . and that He delights to give good gifts to His children. (That second part is what I have to consciously keep reminding myself.) In talking with a church friend last night who has also had numerous miscarriages, she said that sometimes God has created some of her children for His glory and pleasure without letting her know them yet. She was sad (but soon adopting!) and said she would be praying too, for you to know this one on this side of glory. This baby is precious, and many are praying!
Love,
