IT'S A BOY!!

we've had a bit of drama with everyone's health the past few weeks.  after hand, foot, and mouth disease making its way through isaac, elise and me...we are all feeling much better.  however, because of getting the virus, i am currently under "high risk" status (aka: extra attention and more appointments).  because of that, we got to find out the baby's gender a month early!  so here he is...our second little man!  please be praying that God would continue to grow him healthy and strong.  thus far, all is well, and the doctor told me he doesn't anticipate any problems.  but they would rather be safe than sorry.  the chances of the virus passing from me to the baby are incredibly slim.  however, the biweekly tests that i will be doing are to check to make sure there is no fluid around his heart, which could result in heart failure.  like i said, thus far, all is well.  but we would love your prayers that he would stay that way.  we are thanking God for bringing our family back to health and for this little one.  as justin reminded me in prayer the other night, God already knows his name and his days are already numbered (psalm 139).  he is in His hands.
