June 16: Clara turns 12! We started the day as we always do with Birthday Pancakes for the birthday baby. The kids have been attending Music Camp at church all day each day this week, so that was a lot of fun. For supper her Daddy smoked a brisket for her and we enjoyed what we rarely are able to do, have a birthday party on an actual birthday!

June 12: Last week, at almost 22 weeks, we had another check up with our fetal medicine specialist. We got a nice picture of baby’s little face, the first we’ve gotten since all this began. We were relieved to hear that she is growing as she should be. Nothing regarding her condition has changed or worsened as far as our doctor can tell. We are still on track to leave on June 21st for Houston. Our prayers now are:
- Safe and healthy travel. Specifically that Aubri will remain free from COVID as that could prohibit the possibility of the fetal surgery.
- Our children while we are gone, especially our youngest two, they will all miss us.
- That the tests have favorable results and the surgery will be approved.
- If it’s not approved that we will be emotionally prepared for the challenges that will come next for our daughter.
- That the surgery would be successful for all of us and the low risk of early labor will not be a problem.

“Be still, my soul: The hour is hast’ning on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.”
