Miracle baby

Let me start first by saying that all babies are miracles from God. But I'm going to specifically talk about what a miracle Colin really is. We haven't talked that much about some of the trials we've faced in getting to this point, but I think I'm ready to share some things.
People often ask why we waited so long to have a baby since we've been married for 4 years and just had our first. It's not that we "chose" anything. Through the course of our marriage we haven't been trying NOT to get pregnant since very early on. For a while it just didn't happen. Then one day, the good news came. We were going to have a baby. It wasn't long after that though, that the bad news followed. The baby was not going to make it. It was devastating, but not quite as bad as the second time it happened. Tragedy happening once is hard. Tragedy happening twice starts to make you think that you're destined to keep repeating the same tragic circumstances again and again.
We began to think that maybe we weren't going to become parents. Our faith in God told us otherwise, because we knew that both of us had been shaped from our very childhoods to be parents. We just KNEW we were meant to be parents. I told God that I knew he had a plan and I knew that he wasn't putting us through trials for our harm, but for our good. I told Him that despite the fact that I felt hurt by Him, I would continue to trust in Him and His Word.
One morning, 9 months ago, Rose came into the bedroom to tell me that she took a pregnancy test and it was positive. We were both excited, yet the pains of the past came back to haunt us and in some ways robbed our joy and replaced it with worry. We continued to trust in God though. My faith was much stronger this time I realized. I noticed how much easier it was for me to trust that everything was in God's control even though in the past we had tried to change circumstances ourselves.
Then the moment came when Rose began to bleed. She knew from the past miscarriages that this was a bad sign. Having been to a specialist to help us with fertility, he was the one we called to seek advice. Dr. Silverburg sent in a prescription to a pharmacy in Austin who makes their own medicines in-house. This prescription saved Colin's life. If not for God's use of Dr. Silverburg, Colin would not have made it.
But he is not the only doctor to be credited as an instrument of God in the life of Colin. Dr. Rister, the OB/GYN, made a judgment call that saved Colin's life once again. After a routine visit to his office, Rose was given an appointment to come back for an ultrasound early the next week because Dr. Rister knew that she was feeling uneasy about Colin's size. That very ultrasound began to make even him concerned about the size. He made the call to go ahead and induce labor.
Rose was progressing quite well, and even made it to 8 cm, but Colin was not handling the labor well. Dr. Rister said that if he pushed more meds, Colin would run the risk of heart failure and that even the pushing to get him out could cause him too much stress. Dr. Rister made the judgement that a C-section must be done for Colin's sake. Once again, Colin's life was saved.

From the very struggles we faced in just getting pregnant, to the imminent miscarriage, to the judgment call C-section, Colin's very short life has been miracle after miracle already.

And he is so worth it all.
