21-6-2008 - Overnight at the hospital

My mood while writing this blog: hungry and tired

---

alright...here we go again. Went in yesterday morning for what was supposed to be just one more cervical length check and monitoring of my cerclage- Nyah's heart rate was really high. 186 and then 201. Our high risk specialist came in and started explaining to us what Fetal Tachycardia was...and what it can do to baby including heart failure. I burst into tears of course, we've had so much bad news, so many scares...but again we've have so many triumphs....My husband took a step out of the room....
Alone in a dimly lit ultrasound room my heart pounded, my eyes swelled with tears and I felt like my fear was going to consume every ounce of me.... this prompted me to talk to my Father and ask him for what I needed..."Dear Lord, today I pray to you asking that you give me strength to show courage and to walk by faith so I can conquer my fears. I know that you are with me and I know that you will protect me. Please give me this opportunity, I don't want to be scared anymore. Amen".
Ladies, I will tell you this and I swear by everything that I know-as SOON as I said Amen-my tears stopped, my heart went back to it's normal beat, my ears that were hot-cooled and it felt like someone had placed a blanket of comfort over my shoulders. My fear was literally lifted from me-I can't explain it any other way than how I just did.
We spent the night in the hospital for further observation, Nyah didn't have another episode at all. She was deemed an "Athletic Baby" her heart rate accelerates up into those ranges when she's really moving around- which she proved that this was a norm for her on the monitor over the course of our stay.
When the Dr came in for a final consult before discharging me, I already knew what they were going to say. I knew that everything was going to be alright.
This morning once outside while waiting for my husband to bring the car around, I looked up to the sky and marveled at how blue it was...so precious.

I'll write more later, I actually need to lay down and take a little nap.

Oh for those that were wondering about how fluffy my bunny is........She a whopping 5 lbs 7oz right now...fluffy bunned bun.

xoxo.

God is truly good. Everytime I read a testimony to his everlasting devotion for us I just smile because I know fear does not come from him. Girl, you are so blessed and in tuned with where God wants you to be. Please pray for me that I will continue to stand on faith in our journey to bring our child into this world! Congrats on baby Nya being healthy and praise God that she is under his protection! Get some rest! Talk to ya soon...
