Friday Night ???

Guys,

Are we going to try and hang out or is everyone scared? We were all "pumped up" last week, but no response to Mr. Baker's post? Any suggestions?

Yes, I finally posted.

I see SG Guys Night Out this Friday, woohoo Party Time :)

Having missed this past Friday, what are the plans for this? Has this been discussed yet?

Lord God, thank you for the many blessings you have given us lately. I thank you for the new babies, for our jobs, for Ed's success in his practice, and for our good health. Lord, I ask that you be with all the new parents as they go through both the ordinary trials of new parenthood, like lack of sleep and healing, and through the not so ordinary ones like tandem feedings, and complicated medical situations. May you place your healing hand on everyone in our group, give us all strength and wisdom as parents, and understanding as spouses. Thank you for putting these wonderful people in our lives so that we may encourage one another daily. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

What did we miss?

Hey everyone. Just curious if you started Chapter 1?
Any updates?
Baker family is doing great. I am actually getting more sleep having twins than I did prego with twins! Praise God! Luke and Taylor are doing great. Savannah seems to be adjusting great - although I did ship her off to my sister's for the night.
Chad is heading back to work Monday. Last night was our first night where he didn't have to help me with the feedings, so hopefully that continues so he can get a good nights rest.
Hope everyone is doing great.

New text from Henry

This is the text we received from Henry:

Leighann is ok. Baby is out. Dark hair. Big kid. I could see his heart and stomach. Both are outside chest, but covered with a fine clear skin. Tests are starting. 

Jason is at the store picking up some food/refreshments for them and heading down there. I will post more as the info comes in....keep the prayers up!!!! 

Baby Boy is here

Baby boy arrived shortly after 7:30am. Henry saw him for a few seconds before he was wisked away to his OR for the initial covering of the heart. LeighAnn was getting sewn up and that's all we got for now. Praise God the baby is in his own OR and continue to lift him up to our Father this morning as the tests and assessments begin. The verse I am praying strongly for LeighAnn and Henry is "Be still and know that I am God"...that in all this chaos, they can fully rely and trust in Him. Ill let you know the updates as I receive them.

Lord God, I come before you to ask that you be with Leighann, Henry and the new baby boy tomorrow. May you give the doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff wisdom, clarity, and the information they need to provide Leighann and the baby the best care possible. Lord, please let the best case scenario be the order of the day tomorrow. Provide Leighann and Henry the peace they need. Rid them of anxious thoughts. Let them cast all of their worries onto you, because you are strong enough to carry all of our burdens. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Kim is traveling to Geneva

He is on the plane now and will be gone until next Saturday. If you could pray for safe travel, and that I would be able to keep things together at home, that would be great.

Thanks for the updates Bridge. Heather is now open for visitors

I still am not sure when Heather gets to come home. Our prayers are for Heather to continue to heal. She really had a rough go of it yesterday with the pain but we seem to have caught up now. Also please pray for the adjustment with Savannah. She has really had a rough go of it thus far. She was really good with the kids just does not like being away from mom. See you all soon.

Baker Babies are Here!!!!

Just got the email from Chad:

Kids are here, healthy and big:)

Heather is in recovery.

Now pray for rest and continued peaceful transition.

YEAH!!!!!! Baker clan is officially 5!

Congrats guys!!!

Correction - Baker Babies coming TONIGHT!!!!

Luke and Taylor decided to let their mom off the hook by about 12 hours. Heather went in for her checkup today and they decided to keep her, as the contractions were coming about 2-3 minutes apart. The twins will be arriving sometime between 5 and 6 this evening. Please be praying for a smooth and safe delivery and recovery for Heather and health for the babies. Also, please be lifting up Heather's sister who is watching Savannah. I'll update you guys when they are here!!!

Baker babies are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning at approx. 7:30am

Heather is actually going to go the distance which I still cannot believe. Pictures to come shortly thereafter.

Here's the big guy

It's a boy!

It's official. The Goetz clan is now 8. Bridget and Jason had a baby BOY after a long labor. He weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs! No name yet, so let's pray that baby boy will be healthy, that Bridget would have a smooth recovery, and for Bridget and Jason as they decide on a name.

Okay...one down, two to go... or three to go if you're counting babies  :)

Bridget and Jason are heading in

Just got a tm from Jason that he and Bridget are heading to Fairfax Hospital. Let's keep praying for them.

Are we still going to have group on the 27th

That's the first day of the women's retreat.

Heather are you there?

I can't believe you are still holding on!!!!! Keep on chuggin', sister!!!!!

See you tonight

Barring labor (which would not be a bad thing at this point), we are really looking forward to seeing you guys tonight and having some great fellowship. I pray that each of you is having a great day and getting some time in the word and in prayer!!! It's so energizing! 

Back from the job fair

They weren't offering jobs today, but IU got a really good vibe from the interviewer. The facility is very nice, and the CNA to patient ratios aren't insane. I think she said I might hear tomorrow, but she said if i don't hear anything, keep calling because new positions open up all the time. The shifts would be ideal (8 hours not 12), and it's right by the library in Reston, so it's close too.

Please pray for a job, this would be ideal for us!

Going to a job fair on Thursday

Please pray it will involve me walking out the door of the job fair employed. That would be awesome.

Jason did you just blow your roof off?

That was some well timed touchdown with 35 seconds left!!
