Big news!!!!

We are having a baby boy on June 21, 2010!!! To some of you, this will come as a complete shock, to others, thanks for ur prayers! I would not have gotten through these past few weeks with God and those dear to me! We are so excited that we will finally be adding to our family after a year and a half of trying. God has taught me so much these past few years. Most important is that I am not in control... Crazy right? I thought I made plans and figured out my life... Yeah right! I am constantly having to rely on God for protection and support. While we are pregnant this has not been an easy journey, at 11 weeks I started spotting... I panicked, I thought, "this baby too Lord?" well He has been faithful to protect our little one but I am still bleeding. It's gotten worse as the weeks have passed but my doctors, yes, now I have more than one, seem confident that it will stop at some point. At this time here are a few things you can be praying for as we continue on our journey, I have been diagnosed as having marginal placenta previa, this is causing the bleeding and horrible cramping. The baby was checked today by a perinatal specialist and the found that the baby's bowels have some blood in it which is probably due to my bleeding as is the lower level of amniotic fluid. They are going to categorize me as high risk for the remainder of our pregnancy journey. Please pray for my continued faith in God and His promises, for Chris as he gets to deal with my anxiety, for baby Caleb,and for my ability to work (which right now is low).
We are so grateful that we have been supported and provided for. Hopefully things will start to smooth out and we can all enjoy the rest of this journey.
If you are reading this and have not have your prayer of pregnancy answered yet, know my heart goes out to you and I pray that your prayers are answered soon!

Love you,

Mommy T
