Ask and You Shall Receive!!!

All of you know that I’m a believer in Christ and have no doubt that a pregnancy for us is nothing short of a miracle from heaven above. I fully believe in the power of God and prayer and have not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that our great news that we have to share with you is only from the merciful, loving and gracious hands of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If you haven’t guessed it already, Jay and I are so thankful that we can announce that we are indeed pregnant. Please understand, pregnancy during these very, very early stages is extremely fragile and I cannot express enough how delicate each little embryo is at this point during development. Even with knowing that anything can happen this early on, we wanted to share with you even more good news…we are pregnant with TRIPLETS! TRIPLETS! TRIPLETS!

I hope to update the blog almost every week at the end of each week. During this time I want to share, as part of my testimony, the awesomeness of God’s creation. So…here goes! This week, we are entering our 5th week of pregnancy.  We realize that this is a very, very early proclamation of both pregnancy and for triplets and that any week our news could change, so we are preparing our minds and hearts for the ride and just having the mindset of being thankful for every day we have! Right now, the babies are each the size of an orange seed. Even though it is still very early in development, these little babies are rapidly developing. This week, the baby’s heart is made up of two tubes, which are already beating, but will take at least 2 more weeks for the heart beats to become coordinated (the next two weeks, until we have healthy heartbeats, are pretty crucial for our babies, and again, know that we may not have all that survive even to that point). Also, the beginnings of the spinal cord and brain are developing. Stay posted for next week’s happenings in these little precious babies!
We can’t thank you enough for all your love, prayers and support and we ask that you continue to pray fervently for these little babies that we already love so much. Course, praying for my health and Jay’s sanity are a bonus as well!!!

  2. You guys SO deserve this amazing blessing...we are so stoked for you both and are continually inspired by your incredible faith during this emotionally, hormonally and mentally trying experience these past few years. Having 3 kids spread over 6 years is a challenge, but I can't even begin to imagine 3 at the same time. Thank you for sharing your tender heart with us through this journey.
