We've made it!! 36 weeks!! It is a miracle and we are so thrilled! Although, technically, 37 weeks is considered term, we are on some fairly sturdy ground at 36 weeks and there is a great possibility that the baby would be born healthy and be able to come home with us. Praise God!
Thank you for your prayers thus far, and we ask that you continue to pray for our little P3. That the delivery goes well and that he/she will be able to come home with us when it is time to leave the hospital. Please also pray for the boys and their transition to having a little one in the house (though they talk about the baby constantly and seem so excited!). Please also pray that they will be fine during the time that I am in the hospital...oh, and that we can decide on a name! :)
Stay tuned...I've been having more contractions lately and though they are more frequent, they don't feel strong enough to make me think it is "real" yet. Truth be told, I am getting a little nervous about the actual delivery and recovery...not to mention having a newborn and no strength due to 4 months of inactivity. And of course I am wondering how I will be able to balance the needs of my boys and the new baby and the need to allow my body to recover. So selfishly, I am also asking for prayers for me to be able to fully rely on God to continue this good work He has started...and to trust that everything will be not just fine, but wonderful! He is able and faithful...and we are so thankful!
We love you...The Powells

It is going to be hard, but you and the boys are going to be great. God gives special strength to Mommies to take care of our treasures. And he gives a love for the new babies to our bigger ones that is going to amaze all of you. Before you know it, you will look around and realize that you are doing it.
Praying for you all the time!
