Verse for my baby

"You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed." Psalm 139:15-16

My doctor said that my next visit would be the time to do the quad screening if we were going to do that. Daniel & I decided that we weren't going to. I read this verse early in my pregnancy out of a book the president of MOPS wrote. It really made me think about alot of stuff. Like there is really no way for me to do everything perfectly in this pregnancy. I've worried about different parts of the house remodeling - if I've done something to hurt the baby. But I honestly believe that this child already had a plan & purpose for its life. Long before Daniel & I ever even were married or even brought into this world. I believe that God chose us to be the parents of this child because of the things He has planned for them. I want to do my best to be healthy and I want a healthy baby and I believe that it will be perfect. I just also have to believe that nothing I can do right now (or really ever) will protect my child from the things that could happen. The only thing I can do is pray for its safety. And that's what I do. I thank the Lord that my child was seen by Him long ago. That His workmanship is marvelous (v. 14) and that He has a purpose and a plan for my unborn child. It's amazing to think about being a parent, to know that I am responsible for teaching this child about God & who He is and how great He is. I think that it can't help but bring me closer to God in the process.
