Prayers for a New Mom

5/9/10

Our friend, Sara is very brave. In January of 2009, she moved to London with her husband and 6 month old baby girl, Avery. She has flown trans-Atlantic several times alone with Avery. She and Josh are scheduled to be in London until January of 2011. Friday night, we read this post on her blog.

My heart is full. Please pray for her throughout her pregnancy. She is due October 21st, expecting a baby girl with Downs Syndrome, in a strange country, with medical professionals who aren't very nurturing.

Sara and Avery will be in Austin this weekend. We're making the drive down, through God's planning, I had nothing on the calendar other than Prom on Friday night. I need to hug her. I need to see Avery; Sara and Avery need to meet Gavin. I need to meet Pete and Lisa's son, Christopher. It will be a great weekend.

I don't think Sara ended up coming to Austin in May of 2010--or if she did, I must not have gone.  I don't recall.

Sweet Rylee, written about in the post above, arrived October of 2010.  Sara, Josh, Rylee, and Avery spent this past weekend with us.  Ry is small, but eating like a horse and full of energy.  She loves music and dances with both of her arms in the air.  We'll have pictures up soon when we blog about this past weekend.
