Greetings,
It has been a hard week and a half since we received the news that our sweet baby girl has a hole in her heart. However, we trust that God has a plan for us, that He is in the past, present and future and He has NEVER abandoned us and NEVER will.
With that being said, we are praying and celebrating every minute we have with our perfect little blessing.
This past Friday, we went to our high school kid’s homecoming football game (they attend a great Christian based home school academy) and watched our 10th grader, Annie, cheer in her last game of the season. Of course, baby girl was with us to cheer on her sister and her oldest sister, Maggie, came home from Reinhardt to join us. It was such a treat to see her. It made baby very happy.

On Saturday night, both our 9th and 10th grader attended the homecoming dance and their baby sister came along for pictures. The girls looked beautiful and I can’t believe they are growing up so fast!!!

After homecoming pictures, Andy and I snapped a few pictures to mark the end of 28 weeks. I feel like time is flying!!!
28 Weeks! We have more weeks behind us than are ahead of us!
Our next full body fetal ultrasound with the perinatologist (same thing we have been doing every 4 weeks) is scheduled for this Tuesday, October 21st at 10:30 AM.
We ask that everyone please pray that we will have a perfect ultrasound –that they will not see any abnormalities. Many times between the 24th week and 28th week Trisomy 13 babies will just stop developing. Please pray that the hole in her heart will heal prior to birth, that our baby girl will continue to develop and grow and that God will reach into my womb and just remove that extra 13 chromosome and our baby will be born healthy. Most of all please pray that God’s will will be done and that we will accept His will no matter what
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews10:23.
We so appreciate your prayers, Facebook messages, text messages, emails and comments on our blog. You all have been such a source of encouragement. Thank you!!!
Please let us know how we can pray for you.

Before Stacey’s twins were born, they knew that little Brandon had two holes in his heart. He had two heart surgeries and he is doing great now. It is amazing what they can do on a heart that is as big as an acorn. I am praying that the hole is the only problem.
