When we went to find out if we were having a boy or girl we took Taylor with us. After that he went a few more times to the doctor with me and he always asked if they would listen to the baby's heart. I know most of that was probably because to him that was all they were doing and he could hear it too. However it was all he talked about concerning the baby now that I think about it.
Another thing I just noticed was that Taylor had wanted me to sing Jesus Loves Me every night to him the last few months. Well as I was singing it I remembered another verse from it that I had heard many years ago when we would sing it out of the hymnal at church. Well Taylor started asking for that verse every night. Here's what I was singing...
Jesus take this HEART of mine.
Make it pure and holy thine.
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will henceforth live for thee.
Now the verse Psalm 139:13 "For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb."
comes to mind and makes me realize that Lilly was created by God and he knew exactly how she would be made. He knew about her Heart all along. He also knew how to make me "be still and know that HE is God." since that is all I could do when she was in the hospital. I was not in control of anything. That verse had been brought up many times in one week just before she was born so I think He was trying to prepare my heart for all that was coming. I am not the best at listening to God speak, but this situation has really opened my heart to the different ways He might be speaking to me. I pray that I am better at hearing Him in the future.

Isn't it neat to be able to look back and see how God was preparing you for this? I know that your faith, which was already strong, has been strengthened even more through all of this. So glad you are writing these thoughts down and sharing them!
