Isabelle seems to have gotten a cold and fever. Please pray that she gets better FAST so that she's not sick when the baby comes. This also makes things extra hard on Ben being able to work and get things done. Pray for him as well.

Well, I went to the dr. for my checkup today and all went well - praise to the Lord!! I had an ultrasound and the baby is measuring to be 5lbs 12oz (measuring 3 days ahead). She is also head down. They are going to keep me on my meds. til 36 weeks (next Wed.). I'll see the dr. next Wed. for a checkup and to check my cervix. Then, time will tell when Ireland Faith will arrive!

When I went on bed rest on May 17th, August 15th sounded so far away yet God gave us that specific date to pray for and He has so wondrously been answering! We know that it's not us who did anything to merit His abundant goodness toward us, but His righteousness and mercy. "The Lord is good to ALL, and His tender mercies are over all His works."

Thank you for all of your faithful (continued) prayers. Praying that a healthy baby will be born and able to come home with us with no NICU stay! Will put up a 35 week picture later today or tomorrow.
