William Jude is coming next week.

  A week from tomorrow Jared and I will be checking in at Good Samaritan to get prepped for my induction the next day.  We are so excited to meet him!!  William will be born on May 23rd and will be transported to the Cardiac ICU at Children's Hospital shortly after. 
  Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts.  We are as prepared as we can be for what is to come, but I know need to be prepared for the unexpected.  Our team at Children's is ready and confident.  We trust them and know that Will is going to receive the best care that he can.  That being said, there is a lot we won't know until he arrives there.  Once he is at Children's they will do an Echo, and begin planning for his surgery.  We will not have a date for his surgery until after he is born.
   I am hoping that things are uneventful enough that I will have plenty of time for detailed updates.  At the very least, we will post pictures as soon as possible, as well as his first surgery date (once we have it.) 
   We are thankful for all of those who are planning on visiting while we are at Children's.  I will also be sure to post details about when we will start accepting visitors, as well as the rules Children's has for the CICU.
  I would like to ask for all of Will's prayer warriors to please add a prayer for my dear friend Lacie, her husband Matt and their baby boy.  He is due May 30th (a day after Will's original due date) and also has HLHS.   Lacie has been such a comfort and good friend through this journey and I would love to have you all lift her and her family up as well when you pray for William.
  Please pray for these boys to come into this world kicking and screaming.  Pray that they are big.  Pray that they are stable.  Pray that their echos show no surprises.  Pray for no additional complications.  Pray for their comfort.  Pray for their doctors, and their surgeons.  Pray for the nurses.  Most importantly, please pray for two happy and strong little boys who will fly through surgery and recovery and come home safe and sound.  Thank you.
