Our e-mail has been flooded with caring messages of individuals warning us of safety from the Zika virus. If you don't know much about it, the danger isn't much unless you are pregnant. That's me!
Honestly we have never much thought about risks in different places. It's always been God has us in this place and we are here. No questions. So when Naiyah got malaria as a baby in Haiti, we never questioned moving back. We fully realize every place has things you deal with.
Now, this time we have prayed so much again. We both have found ourselves checking the internet late at night (not wanting to scare the other) as to what exactly causes the brain development problems in babies in the womb if they get the Zika virus. We got rid of all standing water on the property that harbors mosquitos. We wear bug spray when I haven't in the last 6 years. We find ourselves constantly pulling out our ultrasound pictures to measure our baby's brain to see if it may have the microcephaly.
I can't imagine if our baby has this, but know we would love it still. But the thought that our baby could get it and die during birth does scare me. For us, we just keep praying. And know that what God brings us to, He will carry us through too.
