just when i was wondering if anyone was actually reading this blog, i checked the stat counter i installed on the page that lets me know how many people visit. i was astounded and humbled to learn that up to 400 people a day from all over the world come and read about our journey with jonathan! that is amazing! thank you so much for coming to check out our blog. and especially, thank you for praying with us and for us.
we would love for you to "introduce" yourself by leaving a comment on any blog post. we are completely encouraged and blessed to read the comments and messages written to us. you can even leave an anonymous comment if you prefer, or send us an email. it is very much OK for you to talk to us about jonathan. we love talking about him.
many thanks,
lauren and greg

This is the story of our precious baby boy, who was diagnosed prenatally at
17 weeks with a fatal chromosome disorder called Trisomy 13. Although
Jonathan's condition is considered "not compatible with life", we desired to give
him every chance at life. Our prayer is that those who are touched by our story
are drawn to God, who is Life Himself. John 14:6

Hi Lauren
ReplyDeleteI'm not even quite sure how I found your blog, but I grew up in FWB, went to Pryor and Choctaw. My husband is in the Air Force, and we now live in Tucson Az. I'm currently pregnant w/ our 5th baby, and have always liked following people's blogs to see where we're all at during our pregnancies...when you wrote your ultrasound diagnosis I was devastated, it could've been us going through this.
Prayers to you throughout the rest of your pregnancy!
Lauren & Greg,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this extremely difficult time of your lives with everyone. I read your blog whenever there is an update. I cry and pray everytime. My heart breaks for you and your precious Jonathan. Your faith through this so far has been an amazement and encouragement to me. I know that you are going to be able to touch so many lives because of this, as I am sure you already have. I am so glad that I can share in this with you guys. You are all constantly on my heart and mind. I am so glad that you have sweet little Kate to keep you happy and smiling. She is a huge blessing I am sure. Let us know if you need anything.
Love,
Heide

Hi Neighbor :)
ReplyDeleteI should just walk two doors down and introduce myself to you. I was talking to Allison tonight and she shared your story with me. I found your blog and have read it "cover to cover." Thanks for being so open with sharing your story, and please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Kate is welcome to come over and play any day!
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for being open & sharing w/those of us who feel connected to you & your journey. I lost a baby when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant & just know my thoughts & prayers are w/you! God did not make any mistakes creating Jonathon exactly the way He did. Your walking this out in obedience to Christ will reap many blessings from your Heavenly Father. Keep walking girl!
