Asking for Prayer

Over the past two months, Nate and I have had some really cool news. First we found out that his cousin Sammie and her husband were pregnant with their third child and due just a few months after us! We found out a little later that his cousin Jeremy (Sammie's brother) and wife Vicki were pregnant with their 1st and due in November! This was very exciting for us as these are his cousins that we feel the most connected to.

Well, we found out yesterday that earlier this week Vicki had been in a car accident ( a fluke, and not her fault). When she and Jeremy went to the doctor the following day, the baby's heartbeat could not be found. They confirmed that the child had died as a result of the minor accident (she was right around 2-3 months pregnant and thus in the highest danger zone) and performed the D&C. Please be praying for Nate's family and in particular Vicki and Jeremy as they begin to heal from this. I cannot even imagine the pain associated with losing a child, even one that you haven't met yet. It makes me that much more thankful for every movement I feel Micah make, and it makes me ache for Vicki.
