Will Grace Get A Baby Sista?

Will Grace get that baby sister that she has been praying for? We are still waiting to find out for sure. Her prayers have been so sweet though. Months ago she was faithfully praying for a baby sister. The baby sista that she said God told her she would have. However, the last few weeks her prayers have included something like this, "God, it's okay if you give me a baby brother and it's okay if you give me a baby sister." What's neat is that she changed her prayers on her own. We just told her from the start that it's up to God, but she could ask him for what she wants. I know that she wants a sister, but I think that she has come to the point that she trusts the Lord's decision in the matter.

It is exciting for all of us knowing that we will have a little baby in our home again. It could be tonight, it could be in a few weeks.

The waiting was harder on the first baby, but after you've had four it seems to get easier. Right now, we are soo busy with ministry, studies, and our kids that the times seems to fly.



I did the math the other day and I realized that out of seventeen years of marriage to Jessica, she has been pregnant for about four of them. With four years of pregnancy under your belt you tend to learn a few things. Even thought Jess has been having contractions 3-5 minutes apart for about a week now, we have learned that this is how it works with her. A first time mother would have gone to the hospital at least four times by now, but we seem to have figured out the right time to go for us. The only thing that might mess up our discerning of Jessica's womb is the Manila traffic. The reality is that the 15-20 minute ride to the hospital could take an hour. Were praying that the time to go the hospital will be after 9pm or so because traffic is usually lighter at that time. We are also praying for a fast delivery (which was the case for our last two babies)and of course a healthy mommy and baby. I'll let you know as soon as the baby arrives.
