Grateful

I just had to write about a couple of things that happened today that I am so grateful for.

First of all, at my 20-week ultrasound the technician said that the placenta was partially blocking the way--it's called placenta previa and if things didn't change by the time I delivered, I'd have to have the baby cesearean. Well, for the last four weeks I've been extremely worried--I know a c-section is not a huge deal at all, and I know tons of people, including my own mom, who have delivered that way, but I just got this anxiety about being cut open. Anyway, long story short, I had another ultrasound today and it has adjusted and is no longer a problem. I felt lucky and very blessed that everything is going so well with this baby and I just had to say how grateful I am.

The next thing was so stinkin sweet, any mother will just melt I think. Tonight Cecily just did not want to go to bed. She screamed more hysterically than I've heard her in a long time, so I went back in to calm her down, read one more book, and yet she still cried when I was about to put her back in her crib. So I said, "Let's say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to help you not be sad." So we did, she repeated a very sweet little prayer asking for help to not be sad or cry, and to relax and be able to sleep. When we turned off the light, she whined a little again, so I reminded her, "it's ok, remember Heavenly Father will help you not be sad." When I laid her down this time, she cuddled up, all happy, and said "Heav Fala help me, I no cry!" It was so sweet, and a huge testimony to me that the Lord never lets us down! I made her a promise that He would help her, and He did! It shows how much He loves His little children. I love seeing her little testimony start to grow. Sure enough, even after we walked out no tears and she's sound asleep!!
