This blog is the place to go when looking for updates and pictures of our journey! The beginning of our journey is posted on the website, and this blog is a place for short updates, prayer requests, venting sessions and a way to commemorate Judah throughout our journey.
If you've missed it, I'll catch you up briefly here.
On October 17th, 2014 our baby was diagnosed with Anencephaly. This is a rare (but not as rare as you would think) neural tube defect where the neural tube did not close/fuse properly shortly after conception; when baby was still a ball of cells. There is really no "cause" for Anencephaly other than a potential lack of folic acid in the first days and weeks of pregnancy (long before mom knows she is even pregnant).
As noted in our story thus far, we have decided to carry our child to term and are boldly praying for a miracle. This is our first child and the decision to carry was not an easy one, especially when we were tempted to terminate and try again within a month or two of a D&C. The Lord intervened and gave us a reason to carry and and inexplicable peace surrounding the journey we are embarking on with our child.
We would LOVE for you all to follow us and pray with us as we begin this journey! Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or uplifting thoughts. Notice I said UPLIFTING. (No Negative Nellie's here please!)
May The Lord bless you as you join with us. Here we go!
-Jacob and Bekah
