Week 27!!

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” --Mark 10:27 (NIV)


Well, here we are...Week 27!! Can you believe it!?! God is good! He has sustained Junebug...almost a month past what we were expected! :) 


We went to the OB today for our scheduled check-up. She checked Junebug's heartbeat...perfect as usual! It was in the 140's. And JB has been moving lots today...usually the quieter it is, the more the baby moves. So, he/she doesn't move much when I'm at school...the kids are too loud. :)


We go to Cincinnati later this week to see what can be done to help Junebug. The day is packed with appointments! We will have an MRI, an ultrasound, meetings with specialists and a team of doctors. They will determine if the bladder shunt procedure will be beneficial and if so, when we will do it. If they think there is nothing they can do to help our Junebug, then we will come back home and deliver ASAP. Rob and I would like to spend as much time with Junebug alive as we can...so this is really our only option. We don't want to keep pushing the envelope, get too far to turn back, and then regret our decision. This is a hard decision for Rob and I to make. 


We know that God is in the miracle business. I mean, hello...we are living a miracle (or many)! It's a miracle we are pregnant in the first place. It's a miracle Junebug is still alive at 27 weeks. It's a miracle that Junebug's heartbeat is still so strong. It's a miracle that Junebug is moving so much. It's a miracle that God is using this little unborn baby to touch so many people! So we KNOW God does miracles...and we are still praying for yet another miracle (that Junebug is healthy when we deliver)! We have the faith...and we know He can move mountains! This is the mountain that we want/need moved! 


Please join us in praying for this specific miracle! Have the faith that God can/will do it! 


Also, our wonderful sister-in-law has arranged for a fast tomorrow for Junebug.  On her blog, Forever Family, she explains the reason behind fasting and what her prayers are during this time. Feel free to join her and others tomorrow. Pray for Junebug while you are fasting...pray that God will heal our baby and when we deliver, he/she will be healthy! God can do it! 


To our lil Junebug,
As Colossians 1:9-14 says, we haven't stop praying for you since we first heard about you. We, along with many other people, are praying for you and your well-being. We know that God is with you and us during this whole situation. Your journey is far from over...so keep hangin on. We will see you soon! We love you!
