Advent activity: Christmas movie
Scripture: Matthew 1:22-25
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g] (which means “God with us”).
24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
So here is what happened at my doctor appointment. I now have to have NST twice a week due to being on insulin for my gestational diabetes. The doctor said I could bring Mackenzie with me, so I did. Mackenzie did great during the NST and the ultrasound. However Ainsley not so much. She did not want to wake up and wiggle during the NST so, they did an extensive ultrasound to watch her breathing. She didn't want to take a big breath. So after both test not going how they wanted they decided to send me to the hospital for more monitoring. This did not bother me. During both pregnancies I stand on the scripture Philippians 1:6 He who started a good work in me shall finish it. What stressed me out is they said I could be at the hospital for a couple of hours. Really? You expect a toddler who already has been well behaved for 2 hours behave for 2 more. Thus created a meltdown, luckily my mom came and saved the day. She took Max down for some lunch and I was only there for 1 hour. Ainsley decided to wake up and wiggle for the monitor. I know it doesn't sound like much but I felt the stress from it all for a couple of days. So, baby and I are fine and at my NST on Monday baby didn't want to wiggle then either. So I decided to play some music for her, she woke up and passed the test with flying colors. Music it is from now on!
