Yesterday was quite a whirlwind of a day. Christen unexpectedly delivered the babies yesterday morning. Yes, this was quite a shock to us too! Christen seems to be doing really well this morning and the babies are okay considering they are 28 weeks today. We will fill everyone in with all the details later but I did want to update everyone in case you hadn't heard yet. We have a long road ahead of us and it will take lots of prayer!

The girls are both about two pounds and fourteen inches long. They are hooked up to a ventilator because they're lungs haven't fully developed yet. The doctor says the first big milestone is to get them breathing on their own. So you can specifically pray for that. Thank you all, it is so amazing to see all of Christ followers support in a time like this. It's very difficult to get good photos of the girls in the incubators, but here is the best i could do on my phone.









As Christen would say...

Til next time, let your light shine!

Thanks so much for the update Raleigh! We are praying for quick healing for Christen, peace and strength for you and Christen and for the babies lungs to grow and strengthen and for them to remain free of complications. God is big and He loves those girls even more than you and has a special plan for them. I know it must be hard to not be able to do anything for them but praying for them is doing the best thing you can! :)

Raleigh and Christen,
Please know that both of you, and especially your precious babies, will be in my prayers daily. I pray that God will give you the strength to make it moment to moment, day to day, week to week until that wonderful time comes to bring the girls home.
