At the hospital!!!!!

Emily and Ben are now at the hospital in Atlanta. The birth mother, at last check, was 5-5 1/2 cm dialated, and is planning to deliver vaginally. Remember the estimation is that this baby (girl OR boy) is 9 1/2 pounds!! The nurse says that the baby will be born "tonight", which means that by 7 am, when the nurse's shift ends, this precious miracle should arrive! Emily realized the coincidence of this date just a while ago. Emily loves her grandmother and has cherished every moment they have been together. Her grandmother has Alzheimer's, and Emily left her a note that says she will be a great-grandmother soon. The beautiful thing is that tomorrow is her grandmother's birthday!!! Isn't it wonderful that this new life could share the birthday of someone who Emily cares for so deeply! How truly God knows our hearts!

Pray for Emily and Ben tonight--that God's peace would cover them. Pray for the birth mother and father (who Emily and Ben have now met)--that their minds will also be at peace. Pray for the doctors and nurses who will bring this miracle into the world! Most of all, pray that God's will be done. He will be glorified!

I promise to update as I hear from Emily and Ben!
Ceaselessly praying--Kristie
