We're Ready!

Our bags are packed, Rebekah's room is ready, and now we are waiting to see when she will arrive! Because the amniocentesis was done so late in the day, we will not have the results back until sometime tomorrow morning. If Rebekah "passed" (her lungs are fully mature), we will be heading to Charleston sometime tomorrow for an induction. If not, we will be waiting either for me to go into labor or until her lungs are more developed, whichever comes first. We are really hoping that her lungs are completely developed so we don't have to play a guessing game as to when I might go into labor and we have to rush to Charleston!

Definitely a girl's closet! :)

There are still more things that are going to be put up on Bekah's walls, but we are still waiting on them to be completed. For now, her room is "done" and we are excited about her coming home to stay in it! If you can't see well enough in the picture, the lamp has butterflies in the shade that shine through when the light is turned on. It is really cute! :)

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as this might be a very big weekend! We will continue to update with any new information as we get it.

Getting Ready!

Hello all! I promise that I will post shower pictures as soon as I have them! Being that our shower was a complete surprise, I didn't have my camera with me (for obvious reasons!), so I have to rely on getting some pictures from friends who were there. They will be posted as soon as I can get them on here! :)

We are working hard on organizing/cleaning out/getting Rebekah Grace's room ready. We received some beautiful gifts at the shower, and I am so excited about getting things all ready and then sharing pictures with you all. A very good friend (who is an incredible artist!) made an absolutely stunning print with the words from one of my favorite songs "You formed me in my mother's womb/according to Your plan/You made each little finger/and You made each tiny hand." The words are so appropriate for Rebekah Grace especially, and I am so grateful for Sarah's work to put it in print. Also, Aunt Aimee made a beautiful keepsake shadowbox that I can't wait to display! Rebekah Grace was named for Drew's grandmother, Grace Ellis, who went home to be with the Lord several years ago. Aimee used one of Grandma's very delicate hankies to form a butterfly in the shadowbox, and I know it is something that we will cherish for Rebekah.  Aunt Aimee also made a beautiful hairbow/ribbon hanger that is just incredible! She is so talented! :) Pictures will be coming, I promise!

We also received some gift cards which I used to order a small three-drawer organizer and some baskets to put some of Rebekah's clothes and other things in. Hopefully they will lend a bit of organization to what is right now a very cluttered room! :)

Our shower was so much fun, and I am so thankful for the friends we have who put it all together and those who came. We received so many sweet, girly things! From curtains, to a lamp, blankets, bedding, a boppy cover in girl colors (!!) burp cloths, bibs, pacifiers, toys and lots and lots of clothes, we truly felt "showered" with things for Rebekah!

Rebekah and I have two doctor's visits this week. Tuesday morning we will have another ultrasound and our final meeting with the cardiologist before going to Charleston (providing everything looks the same). We are praying that Rebekah's growth will continue to be stable. Then on Thursday we have a routine OB visit with Mommy's doctor. We will update with any new information after our visits!

Thanks to all of you who keep up with the blog and are praying for us. It means so much to know that there are people literally all over the world who are praying for Rebekah Grace!

Bekah's Room Part Two

A couple of weeks ago we had a family at church give us a crib for Rebekah.  We are very thankful that the Lord has provided this way for something we just couldn't provide right now. 

The finished job with all the nice blankets

Grammy made for Bekah's crib.   

Mommy and Rebekah are checking out all of Daddy's work.

Her room is slowly being over run with girly colors and things.  The boys and I are going to have to be careful the whole house doesn't get transformed.
