Divine Intervention

After processing the information that I would not be able to get my last progesterone shot due to insurance not paying for the nurse, I was starting to panic.  I have had two kiddos born around the 36 week mark.  They are both perfectly healthy boys, but we really want Kenton to make it into the 37 week mark, or better yet, the 38 week mark.  We want him to be as developed as much as possible, especially if he might have a fight ahead of him.

So, when I woke up at 4 AM this morning to use the restroom, I couldn't turn my brain off.  I took the time to read from my Bible and pray.  All of a sudden, I remembered that my weekly doctor's appointment one week had to be moved to a Tuesday (my shot day) rather than my normal Thursday appointment.  After looking at the calendar, I realized that the Tuesday happened to be the same Tuesday that I should receive my last shot but insurance won't cover.  Coincidence - I think not!

I put a call into my OB office this morning to verify that they could give me my final shot at my appointment.  To my happiness, they said yes!  So, it appears that I will receive my final progesterone shot on March 6th, which hopefully get me to 37 1/2 weeks, as well as Spring Break. 

Although it is not guaranteed that I will get that far in my pregnancy, the progesterone shots will definitely help my chances.  Now, we just need to pray that my amniotic fluid levels stay up and that Kenton cooperates during my non-stress tests so they don't feel like they need to intervene.

Isn't it amazing the things that God puts into place?  This scripture is pretty much my mantra right now:

Philippians 4:6-7
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ.
