Thanks for Praying

Well, it's less than 24 hours. We've had several calls tonight from folks saying that they're praying. What a comfort that is to our minds. God is good, and we can't wait to meet our little fella.

A Good Reminder

Hannah & Charis gave us a good reminder: "God never moves without purpose or plan." Amen.

The Unexpected

Well, with two out of our three kids, we've learned to expect the unexpected. Both Hannah and David ended up having to be in the neonatal intensive care unit for about 2 weeks when they were born. Back in 2004, while David was in the hospital, and Jen was still a patient, our daughter Hannah was involved in a car accident with some friends and was taken to a different hospital. At that moment, 75% of my family were hospital patients! Talk about unexpected! Well, we found out this morning that Paton's surgery has been rescheduled. We'll be going in later on Tuesday afternoon. More waiting -- ugh!

Counting Down!

Well, we're counting down, now. About 80 hours from now, we should be welcoming Paton John into the Bray Crew. Unless we go into labor early (yikes!) we should be heading to St. Luke's about 4:45 am this coming Tuesday. Jen's mom comes in Tuesday, and the kids are looking forward to spending a week with Grandma. As of last week, the little fella was about 7 lbs. The doctor said there is no evidence yet of hydrocephalus. The sack on his back is quite large, and may rupture during delivery. Either way, they'll be doing a surgery to repair the back within about 24 hours or so after the birth. Can't wait to meet our little fella!
