Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. ~ Psalm 127:3-5
If you’re reading this blog, there’s a good chance you know us well enough to know we lost our third child, Jordan Carter, during pregnancy in 2018. As a result, the elation of each subsequent pregnancy has been coupled with an added uneasiness, especially until we can get reassurance from a doctor that everything is well.
Today we are celebrating that reassurance. An ultrasound this morning confirmed that we are once again the joyful parents of a healthy eight-week-old child! A new baby was not one of the many changes we expected to face this year, but we are absolutely thrilled to be adding to our family! As with so many other things ahead of us, we’re preparing as best we can and trusting in the Lord and those who love us to help us through the rest.
With that, we request your prayers. Please pray that Pamela and the child she is carrying will remain safe and healthy throughout this pregnancy and at the time of delivery and that this blessing would not cause our family unnecessary anxiety. We can’t wait to introduce you all to the newest Baker in November.
