The name of our blog Learning To Rejoice cracks me up every time I see it. When we chose it, it just seemed like a good fit and was available. The Lord continues to teach us daily how to rejoice in ALL circumstances.
This week has been one of excitement and some very high stress. As we were leaving church on Sunday we got a call that our birth-mother was in labor. Seeing as how she was only 34.5 weeks along they gave her magnesium to stop the contractions as well as steroids to develop the baby's lungs. They are continuing to give her anti contraction pills to prevent labor. They have successfully stopped contractions.
Unfortunately, now birth mother's blood sugar's are high. They are administering insulin shots. She will be hospitalized until Friday, although I am not exactly sure why at this point.
There is some confusion on when the actual due date is though. The Dr. at the hospital believes that our birthmother is actually 36 weeks along (which is a week later than originally thought).
All that to say, the Dr's at the hospital also say that baby girl is ready to come out. And, so we wait.
We will keep updated as we know more.
Please keep praying for us to patiently wait on the Lord (we can't wait to meet our daughter) and for our birthmother's health as well as the baby's.
