Hello everyone! Just wanted to give you an update about Julianne and Baby Boy Hendricks.

We are SO thankful that Baby Boy is still growing and “cooking” and that Julianne’s body is staying relatively peaceful. Julianne is now 29 weeks pregnant (will be 30 on Monday!) and has been in the hospital for 3 weeks today. What a rockstar mom she is!! We’re hopeful that Baby Boy will stay in there as long as possible. Every day that he stays inside makes him a little stronger and is a reason to celebrate! Julianne has had some irregular contractions this week, but nothing consistent or alarming. And thankfully Baby Boy is currently positioned head down, which is safest for them both. Julianne’s doctors are saying that if Baby Boy remains head down and her body doesn’t show more signs of labor, in 2-4 more weeks she could be able to finish her bedrest at home. This would be amazing! But that does still have her in the hospital for another 2-4 weeks at minimum. You can probably imagine that being on bed rest in the hospital away from your family is not the most fun experience. I’m so proud of Julianne for her resilience. She is allowing herself to process all the emotions that come with these challenges, and she’s also choosing to be positive and not let the circumstances determine her attitude. I am so impressed. And so grateful. Hallie and Baby Boy are so blessed to have her as a mama!!! And to have Tucker as an all-star dad!! He’s holding down the fort and loving his family so well. What a fabulous family they are. 

Tucker’s mom has been in town for the last few weeks helping with Hallie and a lot of practical life things. She is headed home today, and will return again in a few weeks. 

Their biggest need for help right now is meals. If you’re able, click on this link to visit their meal train and sign up for a day to bring a meal. Tucker can even take food to Julianne in the hospital! So feel free to package a portion in a to-go container for her…and include a treat if you want! :) Here is the link: https://mealtrain.com/1ee4y5

Please continue to pray that Baby Boy stays put for as long as possible. And for Julianne as she perseveres through bed rest at the hospital. Thank you for loving them by praying and serving them!
