Baby - IVF success

I just wanted to offer up and ask for prayer for a couple of things:

First, Thanksgiving because my wife is currently pregnant! We just got the good news yesterday. This has been an emotional road (for her more than me -- I have two kids from a previous marriage). It's been a couple of years after vasectomy reversal and then some bad news regarding natural conception after what seemed like a really positive intial prognosis. We just completed IVF cycle with success. So, love + patience + science + prayer = pregnant!! Yay!

Secondly continued prayers for the remainder of the pregnancy. This baby's due date would just happen to fall on 4/1/14, fourteen years to the day of a miscarriage she had. Cruel April Fool's, but in some ways perhaps a blessing for her in the long run, because the relationship she was in was not a good one (and I don't mean that they just didn't get along). She's nervous obviously having only had the one pregnancy and a miscarriage before. It would be doubtful of course that the baby would be born on it's actual due date, but the providence or coincidence of the dates is interesting.

Thanks

Sincerest congrats and praise be to God! We had a very difficult time conceiving so I know how emotionally draining it can be. Best wishes and prayers for a healthy baby and mom.

I wanted to update and share the good news. My wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy - Henry - on the 12th at 00:29. 84 hours of labor. She was quite the trooper and really wanted a natural, un-medicated birth. That didn't all work out the way it was planned in the end, but the baby is healthy and happy and mom is too. We are home now and really enjoying every precious moment.

Thank you for your prayers!! And thanks be to God, who uses all things together for His good.
