Lily on the Move!

Some of you already know that I have what is called an Anterior Placenta which basically means that Lily takes a back seat to the placenta. My placenta is positioned in the front of Lily blocking her movements and that is the reason it was so difficult to hear her heart beat at times. It is a common thing for women to have and does not put Lily in any danger whatsoever. Well that being said I felt her move for the first time last night and it was the sweetest and most precious story! Ford and I have decided to start doing a devotion together at night so we read our Bible and discussed the chapter and then said our individual prayers. We then decided to pray over Lily and in the middle of the prayer I felt her move! It felt like a little flutter and I just started to cry while Ford continued to pray. I have been waiting to feel her for so long and it could not have come at a better time! After we finished praying I told Ford I felt her and we started singing "Jesus Loves Me" to her and I continued to feel her little flutters. I was so disappointed that I could not feel her before but the way that I felt her was the most precious memory and I would not change a thing. It is amazing how the Lord works everything out for the better! Thank you all for your support and for you continued prayers!
