An Update From The Moore Family

This past Monday seems so far away and it's only Wednesday. Do you ever feel like you are on the ride of your life and in order to keep going to have to "check yourself"? I think that would sum up the past 7 months for this Moore family.

We are thankful that our boy, Luke has been staying put within this womb. We are also thankful for the times God has reminded us of how much He loves us and how He will work in His time for His glory.

I can say that it is scary thinking of how tiny our guy is, yet how much he has grown in the past months. We are told that Luke is 3 pounds 12 ounces at this point. Just 33 years ago, his momma was 4 pounds 5 ounces. It's crazy to think about Luke being so tiny, yet able to survive outside of the womb if necessary.

So far, we are stable. Contraction continue. Today they were stronger and painful. However, we are being monitored closely and that's all we can do for now. We are told that we are probably going to be here for seven days total. So, Monday ... we are waiting! Doc said that as long as I don't dilate anymore and the contractions become slightly less heavy, we are good to go home. Surprisingly, she said I may not even be on bed rest. It is all up to God and Luke of course. He's stubborn like his mother and does not like to be in one place for too long.

Sean and I have been more "put together" since we were both able to sleep and rest last night after being up for two days straight worrying about our situation. We are thankful for the time we have had to rest up. However, I know I miss him terribly when he has to go home and I have to stay here at the hospital.

So, I have had more questions about the helicopter ride over the past three days. It was actually enjoyable despite the reasons for the ride. I was able to see the still night sky, stars, clouds, and the city lights on the way to WMC. Most of that 20 minute ride was me pondering on how much it will be costing us and how Luke was dealing with the extremely loud noise from the propellers. I know, typical me. Ultimately, it was a nice ride. Some turbulence, but was an experience I can say I had and never want again unless it's for sight seeing purposes.

We know that these past few months have been a bumpy ride, but we would not change a thing about it at all. Not if it brings us closer to the day where we see, hold, and love on our son.

With all of that said, we could not thank each and every one of you for your prayers enough! We are truly blessed beyond measure! We have felt loved from all of you and continue to covet those prayers you lift up daily! They are working and we are overwhelmed by the love and support you have all bestowed upon us. A million times, thank you!!

We know God had plans for our son before he was formed within my womb and we are excited to see all of those plans unfold before our eyes...

We love you all!!
