hospital visit...

Last week I started having a lot of pain and started having contractions. I called my doctors office and they sent me straight to the hospital because they were thinking that I was going into pre-term labor. And we are WAY to soon to be in pre-term labor, we are still only at 27weeks. They took me in a did a bunch of test and everything seemed to come out pretty good. They weren't too concerned because my contractions are not consistent, therefore bed-rest or medication wasn't necessary yet. However, I am finding myself to be very limited to what I am able to do. I wasn't connecting the dots before, but I am realizing now that my mother pointed it out to me, that I start having contractions and pain when I push things. ( The cart at the grocery store, the vacuum etc.) But in the last few days, if I do much of anything, even just walk around too much I start having a lot of pain.. which right now has a lot to do with "growing pains." She's just getting BIG! So far it has been a great opportunity for the Lord to teach me new things. I know He teaching me to Learn how to find contentment in this new season. By taking things away, He is allowing me to become more dependent on Him. It really isn't easy not being able to do the things that need to get done, and as you can imagine, pretty frustrating at times, but we are just having to be flexible and learn how to do things at a new and slower pace. I am so thankful because the Lord is keeping my eyes fixed on Him and giving me His peace because I know I couldn't do it without Him. We have such a faithful Father, Comforter and Friend. I know He knows what is best for us and He knows what we can handle, so there is no reason not to Trust Him!
