Maddie birth

Surrounded by prayers of many who love us, not because of us, but because you brought them to us.

There’s a machine making easily hearable Maddie’s heartbeat. All weekend long, through pain and through smiles and tome killing- in everything we hear, her heartbeat just keeps pumping away, marking the minutes and hours- the rhythm of our lives from here on out. It’s amazing to hear it so clearly and feel it so distinct.

Praise God, praise God. So much good to come so much I want to see, so much I want to be. Just want to see God do it all. God, praise God. So much good to come so much I want to see, so much I want to be. Just want to see God do it all.
