Good Monday Morning,
It's dark in the room (Chris is trying to sleep) but I wanted to give a quick update - can't see the keyboard so forgive mispellings.
We got here last night around 9:00. Had a few friends waiting to greet us and yes...we were late. One friend said I knew you would be late to even have your own baby!! haha.
Started everything and the nurse went to examine me before giving the medicine and she thought that the baby had turned back to breach. So....she had to call the Dr. and he came in around 11:00 to do an ultrasound and confirmed that Mary had in fact turned back to breach. I kind of knew it but was hoping.......
Well, fear swept over me but I I also had a strong sense of peace too. You know I have p;ayed that if Mary needs to be born this way - God would make it happen this way. So....at 6:45 they are going to wheel me back. I am going to have the Dr. check me one last time just to make sure Mary isn't playing games with me, but I am okay.
I thought throughout the night that I hope anyone reading who may not know my God like I do does not get discouraged after me giving God and prayer so much praise and then she turns back. I want you to know that I am not discouraged, God has this.....and I still believe. I was not ready for Friday, any whatsoever. I am ready today. God knows me . I know he has me in the palm of his hand right now. I will have Chris remind me of this at 6:30!!
Please pray specifically for my Mom. I know she is scared and I know she didn't want this for me on top of everything else. She is my worrying Mom who has a love for her children like no other!
Keep praying like I know you will.......................

P.S. I came across your blog through Poppy Joy.
Praying for a safe delivery today, and that you get to spend the time you need with your precious Mary Grace. Continue to be held by His hands and know He will never give you more than you can handle. Praise be to God for this wonderful gift of Mary Grace!

I am on the east coast, where it is 7 a.m. I'm not sure where you are. But I am praying, praying, praying.
Please keep us posted as best you can.
We love you.
Dear Kim,
It's 7:00 am here in Jacksonville, FL. I have been praying for you most of the night. I woke up this morning and came to the computer hoping you had posted. Yes, you are in the palm of the Lords hand and He will be right there with you in the delivery room. I will be praying for you the rest of the day and look forward to hearing about Mary Grace! I will also be praying for your mom, oh they do worry for us don't they? I remember my mom being the same way just 6 weeks okay, but isn't it great she's right there with you!
Praying all day,
Yvette
Kim and Chris,
I am praying for you this morning. You are probably about to go into surgery for you sweet girl. God is and will hold you in the palm of His hand. Mary Grace is such a gift from God and her life will touch so many lives.......

Have been praying all night and now this morning. And will continue as the day goes on! Love and prayers, Chrissy
You don't know me, but you *know* my friend Emily (Miller Grace's momma). She asked us to pray for your family, for Mary Grace. I came here to read your story and thought I should let you know I was here and I am lifting you, all of you in prayer.
You don't know me either...but I am praying. I jumped on the computer first thing to check for an update. I am so glad there is one. Please have someone update as soon as y'all can. Praying here in Jacksonville, Florida (found your blog through Yvette)...isn't it neat to have so many people praying for you???!!! Even people who don't know you. Be blessed today and continue to remember that God is holding YOU and Mary Grace!!!
I found your blog through Poppy Joy. You are right....God is in control. He is watching over you all. I have been praying for you and will continue to do so.

Since my eyes opened this morning and until they closed in the wee hours of this morning, I have prayed without ceasing for you and will continue. I cannot wait to see your beautiful girl....
I prayed for you before I drifted off to sleep and awoke with you in my thoughts and prayers this morning. God is holding you!
Michelle in Houston
Lifting you up this morning.
I am praying. What you said was exactly true. You are in the palm of His hand, and that is the best place to be, no matter the circumstances. Feel flooded today with His love and peace in a way you never have before in your entire life. Much love, Angie
I am praying Kim! May God's peace be with you right now, as I think you are probably in there, having Mary Grace around this time. I KNOW that the Lord will grant you exactly what you need today.

You don't know me-I have your link through my cousin. It is 9:37 in here in North Carolina, and I have just prayed that God will give you the gift of time with your Mary Grace. You and your family will be in my prayers.

I feel so behind, i am just now getting to the computer and reading your update. you have probably met your sweet girl by now! i am praying! cant wait to see her!
oh i just realized the time difference! oops! i am just in time to pray her into this world!
Praying without ceasing for you Kim that you feel Gods arms wrapped tightly around you, holding you and Miss Mary Grace. God knows why she turned and it is all in His Plan. I'm praying for Chris as he is right there with you, for peace and joy for both of you. And for your Moms heart to be at peace. We never stop being moms and loving our children, just as God is our Father loving us. Today you will meet this precious baby who you have grown to love and know, face to face. My hope is in the Lord for you today.
Love, Laurie in Ca.
Praying for you and Chris right now as you are probably enjoying holding your beautiful Mary Grace in your arms at this moment. Praying for your mom's heart also as she loves you so dearly.
God bless
Rachel in PA
Praying, praying , praying... Can't wait to see pictures of you holding your girl! you are so right, you are in the palm of God's hand! i remember a quote i read several years back... i love the way it was worded...let me see if i can remember part of it... nothing is by chance, if anything touches me it has to come through the very hand of God for i am cradled there. And since it has come through His hand it must be for a great purpose... that is all i can remember praying...
on my knees,
jen in al
Continuing to pray for you guys in ALL circumstances! He is keeping you in the palm of his hand... we'll check in soon! Looking forward to hearing all the wonderful details of her!

I am praying for you today and in the days to come, that your time with Mary Grace will be perfect. I have been reading these T-18 blogs for the last few months after being directed to Copeland's site from our church. Please know that you all are in my prayers. Your strength of spirit and firmness of faith is inspiring! Prayers & Blessings from Susan in Amarillo, TX
Praying unceasingly for you today...

Just read your blog, and am praying. Emily and Miller Grace sent me. You are closer to God now than ever before - wallow in it!!
I have been following your story and have been praying all last night and this morning. I pray that God blesses you and your family with peace and a flood of love today through your miracle, Mary Grace. Can't wait to hear all about her!

GOD IS ABLE....and HIS ways are higher than ours....this I KNOW personally....through much grief...and praying also for your sweet little girls..

I stumbled upon your blog late last night from Emily's site, and I am thinking of you this morning. I guess she may already be here by the time I am typing this. I had a little girl 4 years ago who had Trisomy 18. She was a twin to my other daugheter. Unfortunately, my baby Rebecca died in utero at 23 weeks. This started my labor with my other daughter, Sarah, and I delivered at 26 weeks. Sarah is now a healthy, happy, beautiful 4-year old. But I miss my Rebecca every day, and I am still struggling with the loss. One thing that I would urge you to do (and I am almost positive that you are already planning to) is take so many pictures, no matter what. While she is with you and even after. Of every angle. With both you and your husband together, and with your girls if it is not upsetting to them. We only took a few, and I regret it so much. I also wonder if you will have someone baptize her. In our (Presbyterian) church, they do not usually baptize babies who have passed, but our lovely wonderful pastor did it anyway, and it meant to the world to me.
I will be thinking of and praying for you over the coming days, and I pray for you to have the time with your little girl that I did not.
Shellie
praying... anxious to meet that little girl!!

Reading the different blogs from so many people, it is just so moving to see your family lifted up in prayer all over the country.
Kim, may God's peace be with you this morning and may you cherish every minute with your new baby girl.
Welcome to this world Mary Grace. God is good.
Jill Collins
Lots of prayers headed your way from New Mexico.
I am praying you have a safe delivery and get to spent many precious moments with Mary Grace.
You will be in my families prayers. My 5 and 8 year old pray for Tristan nightly and we have now started praying for Mary as well. My God bless your family.
Hugs....
Praying for you right now and waiting to see what God will do.
