Inevitable

For months now we have been preparing for the birth of our baby. We have been taking classes, reading books, preparing the house, prayin for our child, etc... And yet, in spite of all of that, it is hard to believe we are past our due date. It is hard to believe that the inevitable is now upon us, that according to the annals of modern medicine, our baby should have been born by now. As much as you may prepare and get yourself ready, it is still a sureal feeling, knowing that we are about to have a child of our own, one that is our responsibility to raise and train as best as we can. All that to say that we expect Baby any day and it is incredible to realize that this is actually upon us.

Mandy is recovering from the cold that she started to get yesterday. She is drinking all sorts of teas, resting, and taking her vitamins. Baby is still quite active so that is encouraging and baby should be born with the immunities to this virus now. Other then that, I don't think there is anything noteworthy to say. Take care everyone and we'll update tomorrow.

T+2

Today we are now two days past due and Mandy is very ready to get baby out. She has contractions on and off, but nothing regular has been established and she could be in this stage of pre-labor for a while. We are praying that Baby comes sooner over later though. She also began to develop a sore throat tonight, so please pray that she does not come down with a cold. We will have more to follow tomorrow.

Gabe, Mandy, and Baby

We have decided to provide daily updates on how the pregnancy and Mandy (and baby) are doing via a blog. As soon as we enter into labor I will provide updates as I am able to. We will also post pictures so everyone can see baby quickly after the birth. We appreciate all of your prayers and are excited to see what God will be doing as we enter this next stage of life.
