Thoughts of the baby

This past week I have been very grateful for the thoughts and feelings about the baby. Sunday I went to my sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws house to give there family Christmas presants. Josh's side of the family rotates every family for gift giving. I was really not looking forward to this visit. My sister-in-law is also pregnant and I have had some harsh feelings because she got pregnent before I did. Stupid to feel that way. So we got there and they asked how my baby was doing. I said that everything was going alot more smother and it looked to be a lot less sever than Evie (my first child). We then opened there presants which they all loved. She then took me to another room where we started talking. She told me at first she felt so bad about getting pregnant and that she felt so bad that I was upset about it. She said that she prayed for mercy to come appon us and that we would be able to get pregnant. When she found out, that we were, she was over joyed. Then when she found out that this pregnancy had the same problem as our last one had she was hart broken and confused. How could this be and act of mercy. When I told her that it was not as sever as the last pregnancy she was very happy. She then continued to tell me how she always prays for my little girl and forgets to pray for her own. She told me that everytime she prays she knows that this baby is going to make it. Which was a great thing to hear from someone who Josh and I don't see very often. Everyone in my family is scared to think of either outcome. Which is understandable. She then told me of some things that she does to help her relieve stress. Then she said that when they fasted for me and the baby, they ended the fast with a prayer. Usually you ask for the lords will to be done. She said in the prayer that her husband gave they did not say that. He said that the baby will be healed. Also very uplifting and gives me great hope. I talked to her way long which I shouldn't have because I had to go to work at 5 the next morning. It is so nice to hear inspiration given to others on my behalf. It feels like I am having my patriarchal blessing all over again. Today I had a similar experience at the Jensen family party. My Aunt, the same one who was in the Primary children's NICU said that she has felt the same way. She feels that everything will work out and she will be a happy healthy baby girl. Ever since my talk with my sister-in-law I have been more confident every day. She is going to live, she will be hear, and I will finally get to have what I have been waiting for for a long time. Thanks to the hopes given to me from others. Thanks one and all for your love, concern, and prayers. I love you all.
