Trusting in the Lord

Well trusting in the lord is nothing new for me and my family. Often when I find myself fully trusting in the Lord I am in the most uncomfortable place. A place I call "in the middle" not knowing what the final outcome will be. I am not a very patient person either, so that does not help. Well we are in the middle right now and waiting to see what the Lord has in mind for our family. We are currently 10weeks pregnant with our second child. We had company visiting from Bend, OR and we sat down for dinner when I didn't feel good all of the sudden. Long story short (and sparing the gory details) I realized that I was bleeding. I called my Dr and they told us to go to the ER. We were thankful we had our company and that it was their second night so they were comfortable watching Paisley for us. So Jason and I took off to the ER. They got us right in and then the waiting began. We arrived just before 9PM and got home just before 2AM after two ultrasounds, a pelvic exam and a few other tests they explained that we the babies heart is beating and that my uterus is completely unharmed. So that baby was OK and they called it a threatened miscarriage. So my body tried to miscarriage but the baby held on. They sent us home and put me on bedrest, my least favorite thing... also our trip to Oregon (we are supposed to leave this coming Sunday the 23rd) is on hold for now we are going in Friday and they will give us the go ahead or not. Yesterday Jason stayed home and watched Pais so I could stay on full bedrest. I got a lot of sleep but was still bleeding (not as much as the night before) and I was cramping really bad, so bad I was in tears on and off all afternoon and evening. So I called my Dr asking if that was normal after what happened the night before or if this was new, they explained that as of last night there was a heartbeat and now it is a matter of time to see what the final outcome is. We are staying positive and just waiting to see what the Lord has planned for our family. We trust and know from past experiences that everything happens for a reason, even though we may not know what the "reason" is right now we are at peace and waiting as patiently as we can to see what the final outcome will be. Check back here for updates and prayers are of course appreciated.
I personally am hanging in there, it is very emotional, especially having Paisley talk and ask about baby... I am enjoying Paisley in the mean time and being more thankful for her then ever before. Jason has been a great support and help mate and I am of course thankful for him too. I am missing family back home right now with my emotions running so high, but I am trying to stay strong.
We will continue to trust the Lord, we know He knew about this long before I was even born, so although this may be a surprise to us, this is no surprise to Him. We will continue to keep our faith in God and know that He will be our comfort and strength no matter the outcome.
