Praise!!!!

Yesterday we were scheduled for an appointment to check on Joshua's growth.  Our doctor had warned us that if he had not grown we would need to go to the hospital and deliver him to have a chance of him being born alive.  Thanks be to GOD are little fighter grew 5 ounces in one week!  YEA!  So that means we get to keep him inside of me for at least one more week.  We have our next appointment on Tuesday.  During that appointment Dr. Adam will check his growth and my fluid and will make a decision about when Joshua will be born.  She told us it will most likely be next Friday, March 23rd.  (We are praying that he will grow and she will once again give us more time)  Thank you for all of your prayers.  God is so faithful and our biggest prayer at this point is for time.  Time for Joshua to grow in my womb and time for him to live on this earth.  Please help unite us in this prayer for time.  We are still at a high risk of loosing Joshua at anytime in my womb and Joshua's chances of being a stillborn are extremely high.  We so desperately want time with Joshua.

Before our ultrasound appointment we meet with the hospice team at Texas Children's to finalize Joshua's birth plan.  Words can not express how wonderful Joshua's team is.  There are about 7 women who will be on our team and everyone of them are Christian, loving. wonderful women.  Everyone in the room believes as we do that Joshua is a person and that God is ultimately in control.  It is comforting to know that we are in good hands and we know that they are going to do everything possible to make sure Joshua's birth is a wonderful as possible.
