We just arrived at the hospital, eagerly awaiting Samuel’s arrival. We’re starting the induction process this morning, and we hope this will give us the greatest chance of meeting Samuel alive.
This journey with Samuel has forced us to answer some of the most intense and gut-wrenching questions of our lives. Now all of our plans and desires will meet reality, and we’ll finally see how many of them come true – along with everything else that comes our way that we never expected.
We likely won’t post here again until Samuel arrives. Please pray for:
- A quick and uncomplicated natural delivery.
- Samuel to be born alive!
- Peace-filled wisdom for Joanna and me as we make decisions during labor and delivery, and regarding Samuel’s care.
- Everyone involved to make powerful memories and appreciate every part of this experience.
- A tangible sense of God’s presence and peace throughout labor and during our time with Samuel.
Thank you for your love and care for us. We need your prayers very much right now.

Praying for you and your family, and also for Samuel, that he will be a happy, healthy baby and bring you great joy. The Lord has you all in his loving arms. (you do not know me, but I felt compelled to pray for you. I am Todd’s mom.) God bless you all.
