I'm 36 and Blessed.

I'm pregnant.  There, I said it to the world.  And it's not like I'm shocked or anything, it's just that the doctors and the  pregnancy blogs sorta kinda pumped a little fear in my heart.  And it's crazy because this is not baby #1.  This is baby #6!  I've been pregnant for 6 years straight now!  The issue is my age and some spotting.  All of the pregnancy blogs say I'm too old to produce a child or a normal child.  The doctor acted as if he was telling me I had 2 weeks to live.  He told me in the most funeral home type  of way, " your spotting coupled with your age, this could be a miscarriage in progress, and there is nothing we can do."  A miscarriage in progress?  You send me home with that!!!!???!!!  In progress, how long does it take?  I mean seriously if The Lord had not saved me, and gave me his Word to lean on, I would be extremely sad everyday wondering if my baby is still slowly dying in my stomach.  
I don't know what a miscarriage in progress is.  I don't want to know.  I do know that the creator of the universe is my God.  And He is sovereign.  And not only is he sovereign, but he is good.  And in his Word that he gave me, he told me that He would never leave me and that the events that happen in my life will be for my good, and will bring him glory.  So, if I am blessed with baby #6  or blessed with an amazing testimony of how God comforts us perfectly, I am blessed, and it is good.
