Beautiful Moth

This moth came in the house one night while A. DeDe, Avery and Landon were here. We were all admiring it as David held it.....

Coming Home from Hospital with Judah

Hannah and Caleb wanted Mima to bring them to the hospital so they could help bring Judah home. So here they are holding him and then singing to him while we were waiting for our final discharge papers!
Be sure to click play on the video at the bottom to hear their song...

Judah is Here!!

Judah Eleazar Gray arrived on Tuesday, May 10th at 3:16 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and measured 18 3/4 in. long.

It was a very eventful birth! My blood pressure was very high and the doc and nurse were afraid I was going to have a seizure. God really worked some miracles on our behalf and Judah and I are doing fine. The nurse actually delivered Judah because he came so quickly--Dr. Jarrett missed the birth (he was very disappointed!)

Another Update on My Pregnancy

I had my ultrasound and Biophysical Profile of Judah and doc appt. yesterday. Busy day!
Judah passed again with flying colors--8 out of 8. I am dilated between a 2 and 3 and 100% effaced and I am 37 weeks. However, Judah is still face up. He needs to turn before labor starts or my labor will be longer and more difficult. We still have a little time left for him to turn. Please be praying that he will turn as he should.

He is so crowded in there that we were unable to get any good pics. :0(

We are anxiously awaiting his arrival! I am considered full term, so if I do go into labor they will not stop it. We want him to come exactly when he's ready and no sooner.

Thanks for all your prayers!!

Judah Update

I had my doc appt. on Tuesday and another ultrasound for a biophysical profile of Judah. I have not changed as far as dilation and effacing are concerned--crazy, since I am sick and have been coughing a lot! I was surprised! But, that's good...he needs to come when he's ready and I sure don't want to deliver when I'm sick. He passed with flying colors again! 8 out of 8. It's getting crowded in there, though! :0)

We had trouble getting some good pictures of him on 3D. There has to be plenty of fluid around the object you are trying to see when looking in 3D and there's just much more of Judah than fluid.

Hand and foot--his hand is tucked under his chin

Open hand

Every day we are getting closer to his arrival. We can't wait, but are glad that he's not coming too early. We want him totally "done" at arrival--LOL!

Judah

Judah got an 8 out of 8 on his Biophysical Profile today! Thank you, Jesus!

I got to see him breathing.....which is a great sign that the lungs are functioning.

I got to see him open his little mouth and drink in a little amniotic fluid.

He weighs 5lbs. 14 oz. based on the calculations. That's a good weight.

It was awesome. Tears just rolled down my face watching our little miracle from God!!

Look at this precious little blessing from the Lord! I did not know we'd get a 3D photo--isn't it awesome? Now I really cannot wait to see him in person. He looks a lot like Hannah did.


Thanks everyone for praying!
