Leah Faith

God is good! That is all I have been able to think about lately since our miracle has arrived. She is absolutely perfect and we love her more then words can express. We spend most of our days holding and cuddling her. It is the best feeling in the world having her in my arms.

We now know that the left side of her heart is big enough to use so only one surgery will be needed instead of several like we thought. Thank you for all your prayers we know that they worked. They have to go in and make her aortic arch bigger and also will fix the hole in her heart. We are just waiting to hear when that will happen. Hopefully we will get a surgery date scheduled either tomorrow or Tuesday. We will keep you updated.

Thanks again for praying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One more day!

I don't think that it has hit us yet that our little princess will most likely be here tomorrow. We have been waiting for her for the last nine months! On Friday we had one more fetal echo and were told that her heart has not grown enough and she will most likely have to have surgery a week after she is born. We know that she is in God's hands and are still praying for a miracle. Please do the same!

I have been up in KC for the last week and Mom and Rusty have traded back and forth. Mom and I got a lot of shopping done and Rusty and I went to the World War One museum it was really neat! The week went fast thanks to some amazing friends. Thank you Miranda, Chris, Jessica, Kaylen, Lori, Ken, Jeremiah, Jessica, and Kelly for hanging out with us this week. We really appreciate your friendship!

Once she gets here and the family has had a chance to see her Mom is in charge of putting it on facebook. Then you will finally know her name and everyone can decide who she looks like. ;)

Thanks for all your prayers! We realize that people we don't even know are praying for our princess. Prayer is an amazing thing! Please keep them up.

Love you all!

Ronald McDonald House

Mom and I arrived at the Ronald McDonald house yesterday afternoon not sure what to expect. Everyone here is really friendly and all though we wish we did not have to stay here we are blessed that a place like this exist.

Right now it is a waiting game. We are down to six days until I will be induced unless Baby Wright decides to come early. Thank you for all the prayers and support you have given my family over the last several months. We are so fortunate to have you all in our lives.

I will update again soon!

Doctor Visit on Friday

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I have not updated you in awhile but there really has not been much of an update until now. Rusty, Mom, Dad, and I went to Children's on Friday and met with many different people. It was a long but good day. We found out many things and also got a lot of  our questions answered.

We found out that Baby Wright's left side of the heart is just borderline surgery. She is at a -1 and if it gets to a zero in the next three weeks she will most likely not have to have the big surgery. Thanks for praying! They really do work. They did tell us that she will for sure have to have surgery on the VSD (hole in her heart) but that would not be an extensive as the other surgery. We will not know for sure what they are going to do until she is born. They said it is really up to Baby Wright and how well she does once she is born. The unknown is scary but we know that she is in good hands. Rusty and I also know that we can get a lot of prayer time in the next three weeks. :) The doctors were also very encouraged by how well Baby Wright is growing. She is already 6 lbs! We also got to see her in 3D which was amazing!


The reason I say the next three weeks is because we know for sure that she will be here by then! I am being induced on January 30th so she will hopefully be here on that day and if not soon after. I will go to stay in KC on January 23rd just in case she decides to come early. All this information has really made Rusty and I get our house ready for Baby Wright. All her clothes are washed, pack and play up, and car seat in the car. Now all we need to do is pack our bags and we are ready to go. 

Here are a few of the 3D pics and also a song that has really been an encouragement lately.
