My Dearest Little One,
The last two days have been jam packed insanity. After being admitted to the hospital and getting bloodwork and an ultrasound I waited for what seemed like an eternity for someone to tell me that you were ok. After 24 hours of being poked and prodded, answering the same questions a bazillion times and spending long hours fighting with insurance companies, we still don't know. The doctors are not confident because they did not see you on the ultrasound but my HCG levels were high enough that they should have. Your momma on the other hand is pretty sure you were just being shy and hiding. That's like your daddy. "On My Knees" a worship song by Jaci Velasquez played on the TV in the waiting room. The song carries great meaning for your momma. Then in the time of great uncertainty your nurse, who chewed out the insurance company for you, asked to pray with us. These signs eased my soul. I knew that the Lord was with there and watching over you.
The final comfort was when our doctor came in to lay it all out for us. I instantly recognized his African accent and all was right in the world. You see, 3 months ago I spent a month in Africa volunteering with orphans. A pastor there prophesied over me and said I would give birth to a healthy child. I didn't put much stock in it until now. Once the African doctor came in I had complete faith. The Lord is with you little one. This morning I retook my lab tests to make sure the HCG levels were increasing. They are supposed to double every 48-72 hours. I was not surprised to discover that my levels had almost tripled in 36 hours. You are are very stubborn like your mama. I'm glad to see that you've got some fight in you! You just keep on growing and making yourself comfortable in my belly. I'll handle the rest :) I love you my dearest little one.
Love, Your mama
