One Centimeter

Went into the Hospital today around 9pm. I definitely felt my contractions this time!! I am dilated 1cm!! Which means I am progressing.. and my Doc will strip my membranes tomorrow (Thursday).   Once I got to the hospital my contractions stopped as soon as I was plugged into the monitor. Baby is doing great.. She is fine.. it's mommie that needs looking after. I need to be KINDER to myself.


As soon as I texted Ilea to come to my aid because of contractions.. she dropped everything and just came to me..... when I needed Sarah R. to watch Summer she was ready and available. I felt calmer as soon as Ilea was with me. She is a gift from Heavenly Father. I feel as though God has put certain people in my life to uplift me, support me, encourage me, strengthen me, and help me strengthen others as well. I am so grateful to KNOW that i am a daughter of a LOVING God, a loving Heavenly Father. He truly does look out for me and he is holding my hand every step of this life.. every step of this pregnancy. He truly does not forsake his children.. even though Earth life may make us feel like he does at times... he is always there. If we but draw near unto him... he will draw near unto us. I have such a STRONGER testimony and FAITH now than I EVER had before this trial. For this I am grateful.. for I believe Heavenly Father has blessed me MORE than I can imagine.

My husband is amazing too!! He can feel when I need him or sense when something is very wrong. I love that we are sooo connected and his love is so strong. I hope and pray that he is called into work in the next few days like he hopes to be. God willing.. we need the $.

I am thankful for my sister Sarah and her love. Her willingness to go out of her way to help me have a car and give me transportation.

I am thankful for my DAD, Ken. For the Money he gave me so that I can buy this car from my Sister.

I am thankful for the financial aid grant that I qualified for.. for April. So we could make our rental payment arrangements. I pray that we will have the $435 dollars in order to pay the remainder of our rent by the 15th and that we will have the $ for the electric, phone and internet.
