PRAYERS

This past month has been quite a whirlwind month. We have been in and out of the doctors office and already have had 4 ultrasounds. When we went in to get the ultrasound to see if the baby was a boy or girl, they were unable to see his stomach... so they asked us to come back in a few weeks and try again, we did and unfortunately we had no luck. My doctor set up an appointment with an perinatologist so they could take a more thorough look. Well like the times before, they there weren't any signs of his stomach. They call this kind of thing esophageal atresia :Congenital esophageal atresia (EA) represents a failure of the esophagus to develop as a continuous passage. Instead, it ends as a blind pouch. Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) represents an abnormal opening between the trachea and esophagus. EA and TEF can occur separately or together. EA and TEF are diagnosed in the ICU at birth and treated immediately.
We are still not sure of the extent of it and really won't know until he is born. They have asked us to live in Salt Lake for the last month of my pregnancy and deliver there too. I don't think I would normally post about this yet, but we would love it if you would keep our baby boy in your prayers. I believe the larger the army the more the miracle. We will keep you posted on whats happening. We have a meeting with the surgeons who will be operating on him and they should let us know how everything works and how they are going to go about all of this.
I think through all of this, we will walk away so much stronger and have much stronger testimonies. I know this isn't a testimony blog, but I would just like to say that I am so grateful to know that families are forever and eternal. I don't think I would be able to handle this situation if I didn't know that. My family means everything to me and I can't believe our family of three will soon be a family of four. I definitely know that Heavenly Father hears our prayers and he knows the sincere and righteous desires of our hearts and is just waiting for us to ask for those blessings he has in store for us. So please please please, keep him in your prayers.

Washington

Hannah and I went to Washington with my mom this past week and had such a fun time. I really missed Shiloh but absence makes the heart grow fonder right? We went shopping and just had fun visiting with my Grandma and some of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins who live there. It was beautiful. It is always fun to spend time with my mom, I am very grateful for her and I love her so much. Hannah learned to swear while we were gone. She now says " oh sheet and beech" sorry if that offends anyone, but I think it is so funny. Don't ask me where she picked up the potty mouth because I sure don't say those things and I am pretty sure Shiloh doesn't either. Anyways, she is growing and getting so big and I am loving almost every minute of it. I could do without the temper tantrums but I guess we have to take the good with the bad.
