Transfer Two

-Another special guest post by John -

This morning we received some great news. All three mini babies that we have been praying for beat the odds and were good to go. The two strongest ones were selected for transfer. Though technically she is pregnant, we will have to wait a few days to take a pregnancy test. So keep the prayers coming.

For awhile we will continue the shots. The shots jump start the "your pregnant" command the body gives. We will do this for another week at least. Slowly the medicines are ending. Woo hoo. For now, Charissa is on bed rest for a few days. It's not scientifically proven that this aids or increases pregnancy. But you know, when you have come this far, we are going to all extremes.

So for now Charissa is getting some excellent care. And with all of you praying for our babies.... speaking of which...

Charissa asked for you to pray for specific things:

1) that all 3 would come through
2) that we would have 2 to be shone exactly which ones to transfer
3) good loving communication between Charissa and John
4) Gianna would be just fine through the transitions

All of those things were answered specifically. Thank you so much. All of your comments are amazing to us. As you are excited to be along for the journey, we have real proof that you are the journey. We can not get through this without your love and friendship. God is the creator of life and the giver of blessings. During our first time around this song brought us to tears. Now it is more of an anthem and encouragement. Worship and Enjoy.

I've got tears of joy :-) I have that Phillips, Craig, & Dean song in my head- "You are good, You are good, and Your love endures today." I am so happy for you!!

This is so exciting! Thanks so much for sharing your life through the blog. It is amazing the way you are building up our faith by inviting us into your journey. You guys just never stop pouring out grace and love into the lives of others-even through hardship and pain, you are ministering to us! And we are blessed, but most of all, we are praying that you'll be blessed with new little Ludlows! We miss y'all and are so jealous you got to see baby Jack (and Josh and Ellen, too!)
