MJust when we were content with our family of five and our lives seemed complete and we were a tight family we were surprised to learn we were expecting again. Wait!!! What!?? Another baby!?? Really!!??? Yikes! Can we do this again. We have three ready and one who is sick A Lot!! How do we handle another one? What if this baby is sick?? Ok stop and just take a few deep breaths and it will all be ok. Remember Faith and prayer. With Faith you can get through this. So we once again leaned on Faith and Prayer to get us through. We never realized how much Faith we needed this time around. At 20 wks something changed and I was in extreme pain. Drs could not figure it out but they eventually decided I needed emergency surgery to save me and to save our baby. During surgery they found my appendix had ruptured everywhere. Thankfully we didn't need to deliver baby but everything from this point on would be considered High risk. We needed faith more than ever now. There were many ups and downs with this pregnancy and things were very different but we had Faith and we knew God would lead us and we could handle it. So on August 6, 2008 we were blessed with a baby boy! The delivery was rough but we had a boy! Jonah Lucas was born and his big brother was thrilled and his sisters we're in love! Jonah was a miracle as he almost didn't make it through delivery. He was covered in bruises but we didn't see all the bruising he was perfect. He had a very rough start as he was severe jaundice and ended up under a bili blanket 24/7 and we went to Dr daily for heel pokes. It was really rough and the first month was filled with every fight we had in us.
