3AM Hospital Trips

Claire and I made a really fun 3AM trip to the hospital this morning in labor.


They gave her a few shots to stop the contractions and sent us home. Although we are now in the "Safe Zone" for delivering a baby, we are technically considered premature for another few weeks. So they thought it would be good to give Alaythia as much time in her mommy's womb as we may be able to bargain for.


So we continue to wait on God's perfect timing, and the exact moment that He has chosen for our daughter Alaythia to be born. In the meantime, I'm thankful to the Lord that I have the kind of wife who can be writhing in agony of contractions one minute, and laughing about the awkwardness of the situation the next minute, knowing that her next contraction is comin' with a vengeance any minute now. Praise God for my amazing wife - the strength and endurance he has given to her through this long and difficult pregnancy has been a sweet reminder to me of His precious love for us, His children. Thank you all so much for your prayers and encouragement.

Now, go call your mom and thank her for doing the labor and delivery thing for you.
You owe her big time. Seriously.

For His Glory,
Jason
