Three Rocks

My parents arrived last night and it feels comforting to have them here. Shane's mother and step father arrive tommorow afternoon. It will be a full house of love and support until I go in on Sunday to get induced.

We remain completely faithful to God and pray each day for Nayeli to have the strength to battle this ugly battle. We remain positive and uplifted by the Lords strength. I have some blankets washed, stuffed animals packed and some clothes for her NICU stay. Psalm 5:3: In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice, in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

As Sunday fastly approaches I find myself with all these emotions that I have. The last thing I am worried about is labor and delivery. Which really surprises me. I am excited and scared. I am excited on delivering Nayeli. I can't wait to see her. I am scared about what Nayeli has to battle but I know that God will be there to carry her and give her the strength she needs. We know that Nayeli is good hands at UCSF and we pray that the Doctors stabilize her.

Shane and I have surprised each other on how strong we have been. We know it's because of God and he has helped us through the last four months. God has given us the support through our wonderful friends, family, and other CDH families and everyone else who have emailed us and commented on our blog. We are so grateful and humbled by all of you.

We were given three rocks, one for Shane, Nayeli and myself at church a couple of weeks ago by our Pastor. What this represents is that God will be our rock and he will be there in the worst storms. We will hold on to these rocks and ride this storm out. Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer: my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
