NICU Reflections -- While Preparing for Baby #3

I've been asked if I was scared to try for baby #3 after the previous premature birth of my son Kaleb at 25 weeks and weighing 1 lb and 9 ozs. HECK YEA! Scared to the fact that I started to doubt my desire to have another child and whether I was capable of carrying another baby full term. All of my fears and doubts came from not really knowing why Kaleb came so early, especially with my oldest son Braylon being born at 37 weeks and not having any problems. Where did I go wrong? Why me God?

God is Great - iFaith Freebie

Happy Friday Everyone! Today is such an awesome day and I'm so thankful for this past week. All I can say is that "God is Great!" Sometimes we have to stop and just give God praise and reverence for who He is! It's so easy to be thankful for all He has done, but to truly slow down and ponder on how amazing He is and the grace and mercy He extends to us daily -- pure AMAZING!
