Hear Our Prayers

(written back in August)
Tonight, over dinner at our favorite resturant (to celebrate!!)

we told the boys about the baby.

Nathan, who was sitting next to me, just beamed and gave me a huge hug and kiss.

Ian, who had to think for a minute, finally said: "A baby like Briscoe?" (his youngest cousin)

Then he decided to give me a kiss.

Braden was very serious and took it all in (Daddy talking about taking me and baby to different doctors hoping they will be able to find out what's wrong and help us.)

He didn't say much, and didn't even smile much. I know his heart is hurting.

But at bedtime, he prayed that God, if it's His will,

would give us this baby.

To let us hold this baby.

Amen.
