Elias and the bearded dog

The bearded dog seems to like him pretty good. He has a few issues and knows that somethings new, but he likes to sniff his head and whine when he cries.

Can't start them too early right?

Elias Howell Thomas

Elias is here!! From the last post you know that the plan from Thursday's appointment was to induce on Tuesday. Well he had other plans and decided to come that night. Both mom and baby are doing well. He was born on 6/20/08 at 5:35pm and weighed 7lbs, 13oz and was 21 inches long. Thank you all for your prayers, and Elias looks forward to meeting everyone!

Elias here soon????

Tara went to the doctor today, and again not much has changed from the last visit. But finally the doctor's have implemented a plan to get this boy out. He's stubborn, but he will soon realize he's not in control. A good lesson for everyone to learn. The plan is to see if he hopefully comes on his own this weekend, and if not, to be brought in Tuesday night to induce labor Wednesday morning. We are thankful again to get a good report healthwise, but it is good to know that action is going to be taken as these past few weeks have been difficult. Please pray that Elias will come on his own, as that is always preferable, but if not that Wednesday will go well, that the Lord will show grace during the labor process, and that He will watch over both Tara and Elias with good health. Our next post will probably include some pictures of our new little guy, and we are excited to welcome him into the world.

Not Here Yet

Hello everyone! Being that Friday was Elias' due date, we would have liked to post a picture of all three of us , however, this little boy is just not ready to come yet. I went to the doctor on Thursday expecting exciting news. They said that I am 25% effaced and only 1 cm. dialated. He is head down, but not engaged, which means he is still just floating in there. We were glad to hear that his heart rate is great and that he is doing just fine. We hope that in a few days we will be able to tell you that he is here, but for now we covet your prayers for patience as we await the Lords timing for this little one.
