Will and I thought it would be helpful to keep our family and friends updated on Baby T's arrival with a blog. Especially since in the coming weeks, it will be difficult for Will and I to keep everyone in the loop. We appreciate all of the support and prayers we have received from our circle of family and friends over the past couple of months. Stay tuned for updates, and of course, pictures when Baby T arrives!
A little background:
We are anxiously anticipating the arrival of our first child - due March 22, 2008. This past fall, we learned that our baby had spina bifida, and then a couple of weeks ago we learned that he has the syndrome VATER. VATER is an acronym for a group of birth defects - each letter stands for a different birth defect. At this point, testing has confirmed that our baby has 3 out of the possible 5 - spina bifida, his esophogus isn't attached to his stomach, and he only has one kidney. Baby T faces many challenges when he is born, but we know that our child is a fighter due to the constant kicks to my sore ribs!

Hi Liz, Will and Baby T,
Your blog is really cool!! I continue to pray for you and am truly inspired by your awesome attitude and courageous spirit. Here's one of my favorite quotes:
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our Attitudes."-Charles Swindoll
Love, Aunt Sis
