My husband can thank our baby’s heart defect for the fact that he got to go to Game #3 of the Tiger's Playoffs. Let me explain...
We were scheduled for our hospital tour Monday night - but 48 hours before "go time" Bry got offered a ticket to game #3. (Go Tiger's!!)
My OB said at the first visit (circa April) to schedule the hospital tour soon because they fill up quickly and you don't want to miss out.
Being the person I was then - I immediately called upon leaving the office and scheduled us for Oct 7th at 7pm.
Let it be said the “old me” would have thrown a fit. I would have said this has been on the calendar for months and proclaimed that this is our first baby and that we NEED the tour!!
Well...
The “new me” says "Go and have a good time. I'll try and reschedule but, if we can't, I'm sure we won't be the first couple to not take the tour and yet still have a child at Spectrum." I know husbands that have passed out on that tour so maybe it's not for us (i.e, Bryan) anyway.
(Did I not mention last time I was a changed person?!? Told you so...)

Thanks for the outpouring of love, support and prayers over the last week in relation to our precious baby and its heart. Bryan and I are both overwhelmed and comforted by the amazing community we have around us.
Remember that our baby is not the only one out there that needs prayers. (Please don't stop praying for our miracle though.)
I have never prayed for more babies than I have in the last couple of weeks.
- Pray for the mom whose baby’s definitive health situation will remain unknown until it actually arrives. Give peace.
- Pray for the mom struggling with health issues of her own while trying to carry the baby to full term. Give patience.
- Pray for the mom at heart who struggles with infertility. Give hope.
- Pray for the mom who lost her baby too soon. Give comfort.
- Pray for the young mom. Give wisdom.
- And lastly, pray for all my girls having "normal" pregnancies … if there even is such a thing.
Let the prayers arise...
