After a month of bed rest, I was excited with a bit of nervousness for my next ultrasound. And on my 12th week, we went to our OB again. I was mesmerized by the blessed life I saw in the ultrasound. My little angel was swaying like a wave being tossed by the wind. My OB took a long while when she's examining our angel. After a long wait, she explained that the measurement of my baby's neural tube is between normal and abnormal. I had to undergo a triple test to screen any fetal defects. I felt scared because of the thought that my angel will turn out into something unexpectedly.
The test was done within a week after the ultrasound. The laboratory staff advised us that the result will be received after three weeks as the test will be done outside UAE. The lab staff took a couple of ml of blood from me. I asked her if I can pray for my blood sample. She smilingly said, yes. I took the 2 tubes from her and prayed in Jesus' name.
Without further ado, we lifted this test result to God. We asked for a prayer from our church leaders and workers as well. It's good to have a Christian community where we can share our trials and be lifted in prayer. My husband and I were praying every day and night for God's divine intervention and victory for the negative result of fetal defects. In my heart, I kept on hearing the word of God in Jeremiah 32:27 which says, "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind, is there anything too hard for me?" Tears came rolling down my cheeks. The Lord was speaking to me right that very moment. I felt peace and joy in my heart knowing that God is taking care of everything. We just had to trust in His Word.
One month after my triple test, we went back to our OB and she showed me the result of test. We felt relieved and happy from the bottom of our hearts - our angel is perfectly normal!. God indeed is a faithful God. I had another ultrasound and this time, my husband took a video of our angel. His/her heart was beating so fast. Our baby was kicking so hard, swimming in his/her world. We were happy knowing that the OB did not see any negative fetal development. On my next ultrasound, we will finally see our baby's gender.
All is well that's end well. Nothing is too hard for God. We just have to lift everything to Him who is the God of all mankind.
As of this writing, my baby is moving a lot. We are more that excited to see our angel soon.
To God be the glory!
