Amnio tomorrow!

Tomorrow is our Amnio and I'm a little nervous about it! Something about a big needle into my belly does not sound fun! I had one with Eliza so I know what to expect but it's a little nerve-wracking!
I have been really trying to pray my life verse lately. I have struggled a lot with fear with this baby. I'm not sure why. I just want him out so I don't have to worry so much. I know there will always be worries of some sort but at least he will be out of my body!
So I have been praying " The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Whom shall I be afraid?". I have worried more than even my girls with him. He hasn't been moving hardly AT ALL the past few days so I'm not sure what to think.
I am trying not to be anxious and really point my eyes and heart towards Christ. He is my stronghold. He is my light. I don't have to fear because he goes before me.

If his lungs are ready tomorrow than we will go ahead with the c-section on Tuesday at 8:45.
I can't imagine them not being ready since I am measuring at 40 weeks and he is measuring 2 weeks ahead. His abdomen is measuring 3 weeks ahead. They estimate he weighs 8 pds. 5 ounces.
We have to be in Zeeland by 8 am so we can have the result tomorrow in the early afternoon.

Please pray for us that he is okay and that all will go well with the amnio and NST.
We will try and update when we know something!
Thanks to all who will pray for us!

Isn't it amazing how much these little ones can teach us about our Father (and they don't even know it! ;) I will certainly be praying much for you over the next 24 hours especially, dear friend! Love you!

Prayed for you and will continue to as God brings you to mind. My little MK hardly ever moved during my pregnancy... especially at the end. I was nervous at each doctor's appt. that they wouldn't find a heartbeat. She turned out to be a quiet, calm and very sleepy newborn (the perfect kind). I bet your little guy is going to be the same way!!!
