Housing crisis affects everyone

Poor Micah got an eviction notice from my uterus last night. Well, we have news for my uterus...you don't hold the lein on that space!

We spent a few hours in the hospital last night because I was having contractions. By the time we got there they were 2 minutes apart. Thank goodness they were painless contractions! Apparently the painless ones can be a sign of preterm labor (just one more to add to the list of preterm labor signs that have had me on bed rest for a month), but much less harmful in terms of progressing to labor than painful contractions. So, a few shots later, an IV of fluids to bring down my temperature, and some tests for infection, we were sent home. The contractions have come back, so we'll have to see what the doc says today. Please pray that Micah would remain healthy and active as he gets squeezed a bit...it looks like we're both going to have to put up with it for several more weeks.

Well, Friend, it's just a few more weeks. As I'm sure many people are telling you - this is the start of the parenting journey - the dance between embrace and surrender.

God has you and Micah cradled in his arms. We are praying for you both. Call me anytime...
