A prayer request

Hey, everyone! In case you haven't heard yet, Kelly and I are expecting a baby boy on April 20th. We are quite excited to meet little Soren James Lorenz. Unfortunately, Soren takes after his big sister and wants to come out a tad earlier than he should. Kelly has been visiting a high risk doctor during this pregnancy (for obvious reason), and they've been watching her carefully. In the past few weeks, Kelly's cervix has shortened from 3cm to 2.2cm, requiring her to be on strict bed rest for at least the next three weeks. No. Fun.

Soren is currently 25 weeks and 2 days, weighing in at 1 lb. 10 oz., and if you followed Brooklyn's story you know that EVERY day, if not every hour, counts towards building a healthy baby at this period of development. We are praying that Soren stays put until at least 28 weeks since this is the first danger zone exit. Both Soren and momma are healthy, but definitely would appreciate your prayers! Also, if you know any "stay where ya are, kid!" rain dances, that would be bodacious as well.

Happy New Year!

we hope you all enjoyed the holidays. we certainly did. we are STILL exhausted from all of the past weeks events, but have been having so much fun. Brooklyn loved Christmas this year, and had so much fun showing off her ornaments to everyone who visited. She LOVED opening presents, and is having a blast playing with all of her new toys. we also had lots of visits with family and friends, which was so great.

grandpa rick gave brooklyn this awesome dog - which continues to be her favorite thing of all time!

Merry Belated Christmas!

May all your days feel like the night before Christmas.
