Merry Christmas!

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. It is amazing to look back at how God has blessed our lives over the past year. He is so amazing! I hope that everyone has the time to sit back and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas over the next few days. It has been a realization for me being pregnant during this sacred time what Mary went through and the sacrifices that were made for us all.
We will be spending Christmas Eve over at Sybil's House and Christmas Morning at my parents. God has blessed us with having our families so close by. Everyone traveling-please be careful!!
I will stop taking the medicine to prevent contractions tonight---so we will see what happens! Who knows, we might have a New Years Baby! God Bless you all! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Thank you for your Prayers!

John and I would like to take the time to thank everyone for their prayers over the past week. I have stopped contracting with the medicine Nifedipine and seem to be holding on with very little dilation. I am out of work and catching up on some R&R. Sprout is doing well. We will stop the medicine on Christmas day, so we will see what happens! We wish everyone a blessed Christmas!

An Update...

We are asking for everyone's prayers. Thursday night I woke up very uncomfortable. We went to the doctor that morning and I was having very regular contractions every 2-3 minutes. I was sent home on strict bedrest and on medicine in hope of stopping the contractions.The medicine has helped but has by no means stopped the contractions. We will go back to the Doctor on Monday AM. We are a little over 34 weeks pregnant. They feel that baby Sprout would be fine, but we would really prefer to get to 35 weeks (next Thursday)! Who knew that Sprout would be making an appearance as a Christmas Blessing??? We will keep you updated...but please keep us in your prayers.
