Well, we found out Erik is going to have a baby brother. His name will be Hunter. And while things were going well for the 1st 20 weeks of Hunter's exsistance, it seems he has reached a stalling point in his development. So, please, if anyone is reading this, please pray for Hunter. Pray that he will start growing again and that he will be born healthy. Right now it's not looking so great. He has low amniotic fluid which has resulted in his lungs being small. They also noticed fluid on his brain, which leads us to believe he might have hydrocephalus. The placenta is not functioning like it should which has resulted in the several problems popping up. My greatest hope is that the doctors are wrong, but they probably aren't. I just want Hunter to be happy and healthy. We already love him so much, and I'd rather not have to say goodbye to him before we really get the chance to get to know him. He does have a strong heartbeat and he moves around a lot according to his mommy. So, please pray for Hunter. Christopher, Justin and Erik would make great big brothers and we'd love to welcome Hunter into our family.
PS Tomorrow Claire will be 24 weeks into this pregnancy. The doctor would like to keep Hunter in her womb until at least 30 weeks, preferrably longer. Thanks.
