This week, we had our first visit to the doctor, and had many of our questions and concerns (especially financial) allayed. We found a wonderful place to get lab tests at a lower cost (but high quality.) We were disappointed and stressed by having to wait much longer for results than we had been promised. We found out after that wait that, "Yes!", our numbers were 1806, which mean that statistically, we're very pregnant.
Finally we took an evening and just relaxed, kept ourselves insulated from baby talk, work talk, finance talk. It was a wonderful recalibration for us. In that moment, and quiet moments like it, I get to look back and enjoy the feeling that, despite life's hurdles, there is real joy in this period of growth. We get to depend on each other and on God much more than before. God has brought us here, the way he has, for a good reason. He has broken down strongholds of pride, leaving us weak and vulnerable, and now he is pouring out his love for us in the form of peace and provision.
Onward!
