Answered prayers and exciting news...

We are thrilled to announce that many, many prayers have been answered. We have a little one on the way! This picture is the second sonogram that I have had in the past 4 weeks, and it amazes me that at 8 weeks and 3 days, a head, body, and 4 tiny extremities are visible. Wow. What an awesome God we serve!!We have seen the heartbeat twice, and were encouraged by my OB's words at Tuesday's appointment: "At this point, you have less than a 5% chance of miscarriage." The thought makes me want to smile and cry, all at the same time.

We have learned so much over the past 15 months, and both Jerry and I would agree that we have seen firsthand the much-needed power of prayer. We have felt your prayers, we have needed your prayers, we have been blessed by your prayers, and we are so incredibly thankful for your prayers. We would ask that you continue to pray along with us, for the safety and health of this little one, and that he or she would stay inside me until February!! =)

To God be the glory, great things He hath done!!
