Please Light A Candle For This Baby :*(

Little April Rose is already a miracle, in medical terms by the grace of God. The latest update on her Mommy's blog, which was entered by her birth doula, is April Rose will be making her appearance anytime now. Very early in April's gestation of life, she was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 and Lobar HPE. Her parents were told their little baby girl would not live outside of the womb and it was strongly suggested by the OB doctor to terminate the pregnancy~which was truly out of the question for this Mommy and Daddy.  Later, it was suggested an early induction of labor be started, again...out of the question. This couple firmly BELIEVE, God is control and April Rose will enter this world when He so chooses.

Please take a few moments to visit the amazing blog, linked above, to learn more about little April Rose's journey~so beautifully journaled, by her amazing Mommy.

To light a candle for April Rose, the group initials are LAR. I will post an update within this thread, when little April makes her entrance into this world of hope and love. Thought's and prayers are very much appreciated!

Thank you so much!

[font="'trebuchet ms'"]From little April Rose's Mommy's Blog

**Update**[font="'trebuchet ms'"] It's Saturday, a little after noon. Just wanted to give a quick update. B & D were up quite a lot through the night and their midwife was there to check on things again this morning. B is now at 4cm, but not yet in active labor. She is resting now.

********************************************************

Looks like it won't be long now. Maybe this evening? Oh, Dear Lord in Heaven....with all my heart, I am praying for a true MIRACLE, for complete healing of this tiny, unborn baby girl. BELIEVE!!

Candles are burning
  for Hope & Miracle
for Little April Rose
    and her parents....

[font="'trebuchet ms'"] UPDATE....From April's Mommy's blog...
***
Hey y'all, it's Raechel. It's Saturday evening now and, while there is not much to say, I want to keep you all as updated as I can.
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]B is having frequent contractions now and is up and moving around. The midwife is there, probably for the long haul at this point as they expect this is only going to progress. Active labor is only just beginning and B has a lot more work to do before April comes.
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]The glorious news is that our April Rose is handling all of this BEAUTIFULLY and her little heart is doing fine. Everything looks great on that end. She is a champion and this news is such a source of joy for her Mama and Daddy right now.
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]Even still, B is very tired. They both are. This process, as many of you know, is so physically exhausting. Add to that the nerves and fear of what they do not know, and you can just imagine what these hours are like for them right now.
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]Here is what D told me just a few minutes ago:
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]"An update would be good but not sure what else you or we could say. She is really trusting God but is very sad. We have prayed and talked a lot. She is listening to the song 'Unfailing Love' on repeat. She is a great mom already."
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]Of course, I think we already knew that. :)
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]We are praying that things continue to go well with April and that B can handle labor well. Please be in prayer for this little family through the night as God lays it on your heart. I will do my best to post updates as they come.
[font="'trebuchet ms'"]I'll close with a verse that B asked me to share with you all. It has been running through her head all evening.

Dear Grandmarella,
I went to the blog and it is amazing to be sure.  The faith, courage  and light.  I surely will light a candle.  I am sending prayers to you all. with love, liliwings

No need to spend endless hours, days, weeks searching for the rainbow.  Open your heart and your eyes to see and know you are the rainbow you seek.  Rejoyce in the beauty of the co-creation of you.

Dear Grandmarella,
 
I pray that all goes well for April Rose and her brave mother!
 
I will light another candle in the ALL group.
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE!!

Hi everyone! My name is Kelli and I'm here with B and D. Yes I'm here! I'm in the other room :) but can tell you what's all going on.

It was a long night for them. I got here at 5 this morning and could see how tired everyone was. Things were progressing slowly and there were concerns with that until about an hr ago. Things now look better.

There has been a lot of talk with the midwife and a midwife assistant that is now here about concerns and decisions about if April is born alive. It looks like this will happen and they are determining what they will do in different scenarios. For example if they will check her here or take her to the hospital and how long they will wait.

B is now 8 cm and this has been the hardest time for her so far physically and mentally. I am sure she would continue to appreciate your prayers. Me, Raechel or someone will continue with updates as much as we're able.
