It's hard to believe that April is now OVERDUE, when six weeks ago we were rushing her to the emergency room due to unexplained heavy bleeding! Many people prayed and our gracious and merciful God heard those prayers. The doctor still has no idea what caused that bleeding and why it stopped so suddenly. We have an idea as to the sudden stop....
We have been so blessed by God's people over the past several weeks. As you know, April was told by the doctor to take it especially easy and stay off her feet as much as possible. That has been challenging with four home schooled boys who are always hungry. Jeremy took control and played the part of Major Dad, and in no time the boys were taking on extra responsibilities around the house. But if it were not for our faith family, we would've been eating sandwiches and hot dogs most of the time! So many of our Christian brothers and sisters came by with meals or to help us pack (a special thanks to The Sanctuary Milton). Then, during our recent move to Brampton, many of them came and helped us pack up and move -- in a snowstorm! We are overwhelmed with gratitude!
We have been in our new home for about two weeks now, and we are still "nesting" and trying to make it "home" before baby boy #5 arrives. The home is much older than our previous one and many things were in need of repair. We've been helping the landlord paint and clean almost daily, and we're almost there.... Of course, the first thing to receive a makeover was the new room for the baby -- and it's ready and waiting for him whenever he decides to come! We're all exhausted -- especially April. She's ready for this little guy to come already! Please continue to pray for her and the baby -- we will be sure to send out an announcement SOON!!
