Life forever Changed

Our life has forever changed a little less than 2 weeks ago.  I will post more later but I just wanted to post a picture of our precious little boy.  My labor was fast and went well.  Our little boy is healthy and strong.  God has blessed us and we thank him.  We have prayed for this little miracle, Garrison York Lindsey, for over 3 years.  God had a plan for us and he is perfect.  We thank God everyday for him and we pray he continues to grow healthy and strong. 

Nursery Pics and Update

Garrison's room is ready. :)  We are so excited about meeting him soon.


Our doctor's appointment went well.  On a positive note, my doctor said my cervix was "very soft" and she was happy about that.  I have also dropped.  Still not dilated....  but I am still 50% effaced.  Praying to be dilated next week.  Right now, our induce date is Feb. 17 - that's 2 days after our due date.  That would mean our doctor would be there - which is a huge plus.  I would really like for labor to happen on it's own but it's it is completely in God's hands.

39 Week Appointment
Feb. 10 *This will probably be our last appointment before Garrison*

Please continue to keep baby and I in your prayers.  We really appreciate them.  Please pray that I am dilated some by my next appointment.  I know God has a plan for all this. :)  Please also pray that baby and I continue to be healthy and strong.  When we go into labor, please pray we have a safe and healthy one. :)

No "Progress" to Report...

We went to our 37 week check-up last week.  Jon and I were both sure that I would be dilated at least a little bit.  However, I had made no progress since the last appointment.  Honestly, we were a little disappointed.  Of course, qw so thankful that everything looked/sounded good with Garrison and mommy.  It seems silly to be disappointed.  I think we would prefer for Garrison to come on his own and even if we are induced I know it's good to have some "progress".  We are still 50% effaced.  Anyway, our doctor told us a few things to do to possibly help (walking, spicy foods, etc.).  So we will just see this Friday.  I can't believe it is 2 weeks until my due date.  WE are so thankful for this amazing gift!

Please continue to pray for Garrison and I.  Please pray Garrison is healthy and strong.  Please also pray that I keep getting good reports at the doctor and keep supporting this pregnancy.  Please also pray for when we go into labor.  :)  Praying I have made some "progress".  I know God is in control and he is awesome.  Getting very excited
