An answer to prayer . . .

We went to a doctor's appointment last week fully expecting to walk out with a date for the c-section. However . . . after almost four months of waiting and praying, we learned that the placenta previa is no longer an issue!!! It has moved up, clear out of the way, allowing us to proceed with a natural birth. We are so excited but I'll be honest - I was first shocked and taken aback. I had pretty much come to a point of acceptance about the c-section. While less than ideal (but we know necessary for our baby's health), and while still anxious at the thought of such a surgery, we had begun to find joy in the fact that she would be with us two weeks early and were eager to mark that date!

So we watched in disbelief, but with huge grins on our faces, as the doctor typed 'previa resolved' on the ultrasound screen. We feel like we have our own little miracle. We were dealing with a complete (not partial!) previa at 20 weeks. The previa migrated some to being partial at 28 weeks, and still partial at 32 weeks. We were well aware that the chances of it 'resolving' were pretty slim after 28 weeks. However, some time between 33 and 35 weeks, the placenta moved on up. Our little girl now gets to just hang out until she feels fit.

Many prayers have been offered for this specific situation. God answered these prayers and we are so thankful to Him

We celebrated with lunch at Taco Shack . . .
