God is SO Good!

28 weeks - Lily Grace weighs about 2 1/4 lbs...like a head of cabbage.

Last week when I had my visit with the midwife, she did a simple blood test to check my blood type. It showed that I was Rh negative. Most of you probably know the risks that causes when you're pregnant with a positive blood baby. The midwife told me that I needed to get a shot of Rhogam as soon as possible because you're supposed to have the first shot at 28 weeks and then the second shot around the time of the baby's birth.

As you probably know from some of my previous posts, we do not have health insurance. So the thought of having to get a $500 (the first shot) shot and a $2500 (the second shot) shot was pretty scary. This morning we applied for Medicaid and then headed to the hospital to get my blood tested again and then get the first shot of Rhogam.

A sweet nurse drew my blood and we waited for about 45 minutes for the results. When the nurse came back she told us that the results showed that I'm actually Rh positive!!! Jacob and I were so happy we almost started jumping up and down for joy! We have been praying (so have my parents, sister, church family, and friends) that the first test was wrong and that I would actually be positive.

I just have to say, God is so good!! He answers prayer!!

This verse was in a devotional that I read this morning. I thought it was very appropriate for me today!

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. - II Chronicles 7:14
