My wife and I wish to thank you for your continued prayers (we are longtime readers, and have sent prayer requests in the past). We have experienced two miscarriages in the past 18 months, and thought we were in the middle of another one in early January. We went in for an ultrasound at 6.5 weeks and were told by our doctor that we would miscarry. However, now at 11.5 weeks we went in for another ultrasound to be sure that there were no complications (besides the miscarriage itself). Imagine our surprise to see a child, wiggling his\/her little legs, with a healthy heartbeat and everything! It truly is a miracle. I would ask for your continued prayers. We know we aren\u2019t \u201cout of the woods\u201d yet, but to think that we even get to spend a few more weeks with our child in his\/her mother\u2019s womb\u2026it is the greatest blessing we could ask for.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit! Father, please see this baby through to a safe birth and a holy life through your Son Jesus Christ! Mother Mary, pray for mom and baby that they be safely delivered!<\/p>\n
