Everything is in the Lord's Hands...

Oh how much easier that phrase is to type than to really believe all the time...
I think its pretty normal for us all to get a little overwhelmed, especially if pregnancy hormones love making you cry over something ridiculous.. like stubbing your toe. Yeah that happened.
Well my trial right now is a physical one. Little Milo is going to be premature.
There's nothing we can do to make him be our little Halloween baby.
He's coming anytime between now and 4 weeks from now.
My water apparently broke last week and has been gradually leaking ever since. When I figured it out, I called my doctor and he told me to go to the hospital to get checked out. I was thinking this would be some tests and maybe bed rest AT HOME.
Surprise!
Mike and I have officially moved in to the labor and delivery room at the Provo Hospital.
The amniotic fluid surrounding Milo is very low, which is really scary to me.. To avoid losing more amniotic fluid I have to be on bed rest and because there's a rupture in the amniotic sac, I have to be on bed rest here at the hospital so I don't get an infection.
So there are two options:
1. I get an infection and they will be forced to induce me, which could happen any time of the day.
2. If the antibiotics work and bounce the infection, I will stay here and let the baby cook until I'm 34 weeks, which is in 3 1/2 weeks. Because my water is already broken, they won't let me go beyond 34 weeks.
I'm reallty bummed out that I'm gonna miss both of my baby showers and my friend's baby shower and Mike's Ordination for the Melchezidek Priesthood.. :(
Its been a rough day.
Bless my sweet husband he's passed out on the couch while I'm up blogging and playing around on facebook.
On a brighter note, Milo will be here when we are all sealed as a family in the temple.. :]
