Week 25


Week 25 has been an eventful one. Tomorrow will be our second full week here in Plano. Things are going pretty well overall and we are thankful that God has brought us here for care. It is increasingly evident that we are where we need to be. We toured the NICU on Friday and were very impressed. They were extremely friendly and informative. If Jackson and Haven have to spend time there, we are confident that they will be taken care of very well. Rebekah will share more specifics in a later post.

We had a lot of visitors this week. We have been overwhelmed by the amount of love and support we are receiving. God has blessed us so much and we are thankful for everyone one of you that are praying for us.

Jackson and Haven got to meet their aunt Melissa and cousins Silas and Eli on Friday. Silas and Eli were a bit intimidated by the hospital room, but it was cool to see their interest in their cousins...specifically Silas. You can tell he is ready to meet them.

As much as we have enjoyed visitors, unfortunately we are not going to be able to have visitors for now. Rebekah's doctor has noticed she seems to contract more when she has visitors. For that reason, she wants to limit visitors to immediate family for now. It would seem that visitors would be a good thing, but anything that can impact her heart rate or blood pressure could have an impact on her uterus contracting. So, for now, we are going to have to ask for no visitors.

Jackson and Haven are doing so well. Their heartbeats remain strong and they look great. They are moving around and kicking like crazy. They entertain us on a regular basis. We saw them on a sonogram on Friday and Doctor Koster consistently uses the words "great" and "beautiful." We got a great profile of Jackson (above), but Haven is head down and too low to get a good picture. We are so thankful for how God is guiding their growth and development.
