Anxiously Waiting

It's been a few months since our last post and as promised things have been much less interesting than originally advertised.  Baby T continues to grow and things look to be healthy other than the SB.  We had an ultrasound Friday afternoon and growth looked on track.  Hydrocephalus is still mild.  

The waiting game is the most difficult part of this process.  We are very excited to meet Baby T but at the same time we realize that there is surgery and a lot of unknowns ahead about the health of the baby.  It's been a test of faith to this point and will continue to be.

One benefit of having a planned C section is that we were able to plan the delivery date.  The maternal fetal medicine doc wanted to deliver at week 38 and it just so happened Wednesday of that week is 12.12.12 which we thought was a pretty cool birthdate.  So be ready world, 123 Baby T arrives!

The next month will bring a lot of activity for us.  Don't tell anyone but Steph turns 30 on October 15.  She has always said she wanted a baby by 30, looks like we just missed.

Several friends from college are coming to Denver the weekend of Oct 13-14 to celebrate with Stephanie at a baby shower.  We are also heading to the Fort Oct 26-28 for our last trip of the year.  Due to the baby coming in December we won't be making it back for Thanksgiving or Christmas.  Pack up your ski gear and come visit us this Christmas or New Years!

Please continue to pray for Baby T.  We ask for healing and wisdom for the medical team. Thank you for your love and prayers.

God Bless,

Kyle & Steph

  1. With Avram, the last couple months of pregnancy were the hardest for us. The waiting can be grueling! It's hard when you just want to get busy doing everything to help him grow strong. Get lots of rest! Prayers are being lifted up for you often at our house.

  2. Sending you some love from the Neuenschwander house! Heard about what was going on through my sis-in-law from Sonrise. We're praying for you guys as you walk down this difficult path. At the same time we are praising God for this special little life that he is forming. We may be in your neck of the woods this Jan. We'll have to let you know so that maybe we can meet your baby! Love, Erin and Greg
