Judah Scott Borg

Born on Friday, April 9 2010 at 4:18 pm. Weighing in at 6 lbs 8 oz. and measuring 18.5 inches long. He is a very happy baby and we are enjoying having him home. We love him so much!!

39 weeks!

The attempt to manually turn Judah last week failed. We have a c section scheduled for 3:30 pm tomorrow, April 9. The Lord has been very good to us in calming our anxieties and granting us a sense of peace about needing a c section. We are so so excited to meet our little boy tomorrow! Your prayers are greatly appreciated :)

Just the 3 of us

38 weeks!

I thought it was about time for a brief pregnancy update :) I am 38 weeks today, yay! Currently Judah is still frank breech (in position for his butt to come out first). This is problematic because if he doesn't turn around soon it looks like I will end up having a C section :( Unfortunately very few doctors are trained to deliver breech babies vaginally anymore. Because of this a c section is lower risk. Tomorrow at 9:00 am I am going into labor and delivery to have an ECV (external cephalic version) done. This is where the doctor tries to manually get the baby into position by pushing around on the abdomen. We are praying that this works! The doctor has given it about a 40% chance of working in Judah's case. The placenta is anterior and in the way so will make it more difficult for him to do the somersault that he needs to do. There is a slight chance that the ECV will put need into labor, break my water or that Judah doesn't tolerate it well. In either of these cases I would probably end up having a c section tomorrow. We are trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty in all of this, knowing that he will not give us more than we can handle. We are extremely thankful that Judah appears to be very healthy and doesn't have any of the growth problems that Evie did. At our ultrasound last week it showed that he was already 6 pounds (Evie was less than 5 at birth). Anyway, we will try to keep this updated as we learn more. Thank you for your prayers!

37 Weeks!

Full term yay!!

36 weeks!

I figured that it was about time to take another picture...not my favorite thing to do these days :) Tomorrow I will be 36 weeks; a few days shy of the point in my pregnancy with Evie when she was induced. I look forward, Lord willing, to experiencing the final weeks of pregnancy this time around and hopefully having a more "natural" birth experience. Whatever happens we are greatly looking forward to meeting our little Judah :) I can't believe we only have around a month left! Evie still doesn't get that she is going to have a brother, but that's okay she'll figure it out eventually :) I'm enjoying these last few weeks of it just being Ev and I at home during the day, reading extra books, playing outside and just cuddling on the couch. I'm very thankful that she will have a sibling soon, but part of me is just a little nostalgic about moving out of this season with just Evie.

Speaking of Evelyn, she is 19 months old today. She continues to learn new things everyday and now says a handful of words somewhat clearly (yeah she isn't the most advanced in this area). At her 18 month well child visit she was 22 lbs 6 oz and 31 inches long; 25% overall. It continues to amaze me how one little girl can be SOOOO much like her Daddy. Many people have called Evie Kyle's mini me and their personalities are very similar as well. I love it! Ev has become much more attached to Daddy lately; getting sad when he leaves for work and super excited when her gets home. I'm thankful for this. It should make the adjustment with Judah a little easier.

Kyle is staying busy with work as well as various teaching and preaching opportunities that come up. He has been able to preach 5 times in the last month and has 5 more opportunities this coming month. It's great to see him doing what he loves to do and it most passionate about.

Well that's all for now...I will try for more photo updates in the coming weeks :)

17 Months!

Evie's signature gesture when you ask her where something is :)

Do you think that they look a little similar :)

Ah my little girl...she brings such joy to our home.

Evelyn is now 17 months old! In just three short months she will be a big sister :) She continues to learn new things and make us laugh everyday. We are so thankful for our girl; love you babe!
