Artifact vs. Miracle

We had our regular OB check-up today along with another ultrasound to check everything. Once again, my cervix is even thicker now. It's at about 30mm with pressure and no funneling! My stomach muscles are starting to get sore as I get bigger. And it's much more noticeable when I'm up on my feet. OH the joys of being on bed rest and your muscles wasting away. When we saw my OB we asked my him if he could explain why my cervix is getting better and better with each scan. Mind you I've had 7 ultrasounds now. Typically the cervix doesn't thicken once it's thinned out. So the only explanation he could give was that there were errors in the measurements and it could have been due to "artifact". Cody and I choose to believe that through the power of prayer God is performing a miracle on my body in response to everyone interceding on my behalf. I know the contractions I was having were real. I don't think a specialist would keep me in the hospital for 2 days due to "artifact". We know what we saw and I know what I felt.

A question we're getting alot right now is if we've picked out a name. We narrowed it down to a small handful of names but I was having a hard time deciding. A name that I liked one day didn't sound appealing the next. I was really driving Cody nuts. But in light of everything going on, he suggested a name that fits her perfectly. One of our many lessons we've learned in this whole process is that God is in control. We just have to trust in Him and have FAITH. So we are naming her FAITH ANNE. We know that He has her in the palm of His hands and he will take care of her. No matter what.
