One Last Pregnancy Milestone

31 weeks today.

This milestone is when my sister-in-law's second child was born. We were there for this birth. She was on bedrest, my dh was waiting for a Call after graduating Sem and we'd been helping care for their almost 2 year old and celebrating our firstborn's 2nd birthday with them up in Iowa.

The ambulance came to the house to take her to the hospital. I'll never forget standing there with the two little people, watching through the huge picture window as the ambulance zoomed her away...praying that God would protect her and her little one.

Two days later, her second son was born. He was so small! But like his brother before him and sister after him, is a fine teenager today. There were some big medical scares along the way, but God in His great mercy resolved them.

These memories comfort me each pregnancy. They are a constant reminder of His mercy.
