Reid and i had a very difficult day. we found out that there is a pretty serious complication with our baby. in short, it can't empty its bladder which has created a bladder the size of, well, it's practically bigger than the baby itself. we don't have all of the details yet, and will see a specialist hopefully in the next day in Cincinnati.

we've had the chance to talk to our families this evening, and for that we are so grateful. family can help put things into perspective.

we also had a chance to have some very close friends over tonight to help us talk about how we're coping, and to pray with us. i've never heard a more beautiful prayer, and i will keep it near to my heart these coming days, weeks, and months.

it's amazing how attached you can grow to a child that isn't really here yet. it's got at least four more months to go, but i wish i could hold it in my arms right now and see that it's okay. i want so badly for it to be okay. i know that reid feels the same, he is so amazing, and will be such an amazing father.

i'm hoping that all of the tears that we shared today will truly make us tired enough to be able to fall asleep tonight so that we can be alert when we get the call tomorrow as to what the next step is.
