We are deeply grateful for your prayers for our family. Most of all, please pray with us that God would be glorified in us and through our situation.
A little of our story: We thank the Lord that we are expecting identical twin boys! Sadly, this pregnancy is particularly complicated as one of the two babies has severely restricted growth with highly abnormal umbilical blood flow. Hope was admitted to the hospital for very close monitoring at 26 weeks on November 10th. We expect a very long NICU stay for both babies, particularly for the much smaller baby.
