Update on Baby Dawkins

Well, we have had an interesting weekend to say the least! Friday night I was admitted to the hospital with pre-term labor, contractions, etc. We are still here and don't know exactly when we will be headed home. The baby is doing great...we have had 3 sonos since Friday night- he is measuring about 5.5 pounds give or take and all of his measurements are in alignment with where he should be at 34 weeks. I am feeling fine...a little anxious and still in disbelief that such a smooth pregnancy has taken this little turn. Some blessings in all of this...1) my parents were in town this weekend and have been able to be with us- they are staying until Tuesday and plan on working in our very "unfinished" nursery tomorrow :) 2) My dear friend, Julie's sister -in- law, who has become a dear friend of mine as well, is an OB/GYN, and was on-call for my OB this weekend- we have had the VERY best care and know that everything is going to be okay. A few prayer requests...

1. That we would rest in Him and trust that everything is going to be okay with the health of our baby.

2. That we would all remain strong and rested for all the changes that are going on.

3. That we would "not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell our requests to God." Philippians 4:6



We cannot thank you enough for all the prayers, support and concern you all have given us. I will try to update this daily as we progress through the next few days!



much love,

jenn and ken

Oh my! Of course, we knew NOTHING about this. Noone tells us anything. I hope all goes well. Our prayers are with you.
