This tuesday, Ryan and I go to Barnes for our level 2 ultrasound at 9:15 and then at 1:00 we will have our fetal echocardiogram at SLCH. Needless to say, we (mainly me) are very anxious and quite a bit scared. I have managed to keep the fears and the "what ifs" at bay for these 17 weeks. However, as the day is approaching, the fears are creeping in. I have thought about all of the "what ifs" and how I would react if they came true. I hate the thought of them. We are hoping and praying for a healthy Sean Lincoln or Evangeline Kait, but we are also praying that God will give us the grace, peace, and strength to handle whatever we hear on tuesday. He is a good God and He is forming this babe in my womb exactly how He wants him or her to be. We covet your prayers as we face this week. Please pray for peace on Tuesday.
You KNOW I am bathing this day in prayer for you tomorrow! And anxiously awaiting news of a healthy heart and if you are starting to shop for pink or blue!:-) Love you!

Hi Faith - Thank you for sharing your prayer request for your upcoming ultrasounds ... We will be praying for a whole, healthy heart for this sweet babe! I will also pray for a peace for you and Ryan that passes all understanding. God is faithful to replace our fear with gratitude - a lesson I'm trying so hard to learn (and relearn)!
Take care and God bless!
Jesse

I will be thinking about you two tomorrow, but as you said, our God is a great God and has the perfect plan for all of us. Try to stay focused on this new blessing and His will, but just know that I am definitely wishing you the very best tomorrow. Can't wait to hear if there will be a Evie or Sean added to the Mahoney clan.
