It's a..........

B O Y !!!!!!!!!!

We are SO excited to announce our second baby is a HEALTHY baby BOY!  God has blessed us so much and we are PRAISING Him for our newest blessing!  

Baby boy does have a choroid plexus cyst, but our doctor said not to be concerned at all or loose any sleep over it.  He said it should go away, and they will check later in the pregnancy to make sure it is gone.  Everything else was PERFECT!  We are SO thankful!

Right now, I have placenta previa.  We will go back in 6 weeks to see if the placenta has moved, so please pray with us that it will!  There will be further concerns if it doesn't, but we TRUST our God, and know He has His hand on us!  

THANK YOU for rejoicing with us!  We are blessed beyond words!

Overjoyed

I finally got the courage to listen to the CD of the prayer service our precious church family had for us the night before Grace was born.  During that service, our pastor lead us in scriptures, and he prayed and praised God for His faithfulness and His power.  We also praised God by worshiping him in song.  This service followed a day of fasting and prayer from our church family.  They chose to go without food all day.  They faithfully came to the church and prayed all day for Grace, Chad, and me. They are beyond precious to our family.

The emotions of that time in my life come flooding back.  I felt so desperate and helpless, yet God blessed me with such peace and strength.  He carried me during that time because I was so weak.  I am so thankful for His love and grace in my life.

As I sit here and worship and listen to this service, I am distracted by a busy toddler crawling in circles around our house and getting into things she's not supposed to.  She is singing along with the music as she plays.  And my heart is overjoyed.

I love this picture.  It makes me think Grace is praising Jesus.  She certainly has with her life.
