                      Please, please take a moment to pray that my niece's contractions STOP! She is pregnant with twins that are due 9/4. She began contractions last night and is currently in the hospital. The doctor would like to see her make it to early August if possible!
  Thank you, I'm very worried about her & the little ones. Dawn in IL
  UPDATE: The babies have arrived! Logan and Kaitlyn were born yesterday morning. Both babies are doing great and weigh around 6 pounds each! Mama is doing well and proud father is taking the next 3 weeks off of work to help out. Big sister (going on 3) is excited to bring her babies home soon.
  Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers. My niece and her family have been very blessed. We are all super excited for such a happy outcome.
  8-16-17 First Birthday UPDATE: I just wanted to share this picture of my grandniece and nephew. So hard to believe they are now one years old! Both are doing well and trying to walk. Thank you again for all of your prayers and kind thoughts.
  
  CHRISTMAS PICTURE: I wanted to say again thank you to all of you farmgirls who prayed for my niece's twins. Here is a picture of them that was taken a few weeks ago. As you can see,they are beautiful and healthy little ones! Merry Christmas!

                      I have a close friend who experienced this same thing and the doctors where wonderful and helped the babies stay in longer.  Sending many prayers her way!

  Just follow God unquestioningly. Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

                      Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. I'm still waiting to hear the results of my nieces ultra sound and if the meds were enough to stop her labor.

                      After a second night in the hospital my niece is finally home. She's on meds for now to prevent anymore contractions. I'm praying they work! 
  Thank you again for your prayers and kind thoughts. They worked! Dawn in IL

                      Thank you all so very much for the continued prayers. My niece has a 2.5 year old little girl and it is difficult for her to get bed rest, but she's trying hard not to lift her daughter up or anything else for that matter. My niece said to give her thanks for all the prayers, they were and are very much needed!

                      Thank you all so very much for your prayers. My niece has to stay on the meds to prevent the contractions. She also has to do as little possible, which is boring and difficult with her 2.5 year old daughter. She is also getting quite big and sore. We are praying that these babies wait until at least August to be born! 
  Again, thank you for your prayers, kind words, and thoughts. They are very much appreciated.

                      Thanks for asking Denise. The babies arrived yesterday morning! My niece, Logan, and Kaitlyn are all doing great! The babies made it to almost full term and are both around 6 pounds. We are very thankful all went so well and appreciated the farmgirls prayers and good wishes!

                      Thank you! Having a almost 3 year old was adventure enough, now with a new house (they just closed last weekend) and the twins life will really get interesting for them!

  Just follow God unquestioningly. Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.
  I trust in you Jesus... |
