In April Rob excitedly shared the news of our upcoming arrival (baby) with his good friend Toby, who in-turn shared that he and his wife were also expecting their first too! Although they live about an hour away and we don't get to see them all too often it's been fun to compare bellies and stories when we do get the chance to get together. We had our first ultrasounds within a day and we both found out that we were expecting boys within a day. It's been fun to have someone to share it with.
We found out yesterday however, that Joel only weighs 3 lbs 5 oz. and he's not recieving the nutrients he needs to thrive in his mother's womb. Tonight they made the decision that they will induce her tomorrow and deliver Joel. As you can imagine this is a very scary time for them. Please pray for comfort for Toby and Steph and for the safe and healthy delivery of baby Joel. Pray also that he will thrive in spite of his weight and that he will mature quickly over these next couple of months. The family has a long road ahead of them, but not an impossible one. Please pray with us for Baby Joel, I'll keep you updated.
p.s. So many things continue to put into perspective for me how lucky I am. It's easy to complain about being so uncomfortable and in so much pain sometimes... but I'm doing an important job and I'm lucky to have had so few complications so far. God is good and He's in control that's something we always have to believe. Please continue to pray also that Baby Buhl will continue to grow and thrive without complications. Thanks.
