My wife is in labor

Hello readers!

This is Kyle (Mandys hubs). Earlier today I was sitting my desk at work when I get a text from Mandy. I didn't pick up my phone right away to see what she had to say. Keep in mind I receive texts from her on a regular basis about how cute my buns are, or a pet name that has the words bear and snuggle some how combined. Like the classic snuggle bear, or the less popular buggle snare. This text message was followed by a phone call. I knew something was up. As I answered it I was thinking, "She is calling to tell me about some cute dress or how she wants to dye her hair orange red but not to orange." I was surprised to hear a frantic Mandy saying with excitment, "MY WATER BROKE!!!"

I kicked into high gear at those words. I kinda felt like a mix between Robert Petrie on the baby story episode of Dick Van Dike, and superman. Ripping my figurative shirt and tie off to race home and be at her aide. I ran to the meeting room where my boss and co workers where at. I peered in the window making hand gestures like a freaked out girl on Jerry Springer.

When they ran to the door I barely got out the words "Mandys water broke!" when I foundyself being rushed off and encouraged to run home and get her to hospital. It was almost identical to the scene in willy wonka and the chocolate factory. Minus the golden ticket and people where saying "run home Kyle!" instead of Charlie.

I got home, picked her up and we where off to the Hospital. With a quick stop at our favorite borrito place. :). Now I find myself sitting here trying to type this post on my iPhone(please excuse brevity and typos :). Please pray for Mandy. That she has courage, and that Lily will come with no complications.

I will try my best to keep everyone updated. Keep checking back and leave your prayers as comments. It would mean a whole lot to her.

Here She Comes!!!!

  7. Lord, I lift up this family to you. This is such a sweet time in their life. I pray for Mandy as she goes through this. Give her strength and peace. Give Kyle the understanding that is needed to coach his wife. Give the doctors wisdom. May they make decisions that are best for Mandy and Lily yet helps them have the birth they were planning on. I pray absolute blessing on this delivery. May they be safe and healthy. May this bring Mandy and Kyle closer together. May they truly understand your love in a deeper way through the love they feel for their sweet sweet baby girl. Thank you for the blessing and honor it is to be a parent.

  61. Jesus, I speak peace over Mandy and baby Lily. I pray the journey they are about to embark on together goes smoothly for both mother and baby. I speak beauty and tranquility over Mandy's labor. Let it be a wonderful experience. We rebuke all complications and believe in your promises, Lord. We believe that those you send on Mandy's path tonight will be knowledgeable and make the best decisions in guiding our sister through a rewarding labor. We believe you have formed Lily, knew her, and loved her. This child belongs to you Lord. Mind, body, and soul. Thank you for this precious gift that is about to enter the world. I know her parents will honor you with the gift of this beautiful daughter. Thank you, Lord! You are so good.

    I will be praying for you throughout the night Mandy. I have been waiting for a post like this! Cannot wait to see photos and hear all about it. Go get 'em girl. Stay strong. Love and prayers!

  63. Señor, te presento a Mandy y a su preciosa bebé Lily. Te pido que todo salga bien durante el parto. Que ella pueda ser fuerte mientras trae al mundo a esta criaturita. Te presentamos a la niña, sé Tú Señor, llevándola a conocerte a Tí cada día. Desde su nacimiento te pedimos por su alma. Ten misericordia de ella cada día, hasta que llegue a proclamarte Señor. Finalmente te presento a Kyle, dale fuerzas para este momento de tanta ansiedad, yo sé que debe estar muy nervioso :) Pon tu mano de paz sobre él para que pueda esperar a su bebé tranquilo. Cualquiera sea la situación sé glorificado y cuídalos en este momento tan delicado. Te lo pido en el nombre de Jesús, Amén. (that was the original prayer, here's the translation...figured you might want to read it in English :P)

    Lord, I lift up Mand and her precious baby Lily, to You.I ask that everything goes well during labor. That she may be strong while she is bringing this little baby girl into the world. We lift up the baby to you May you be guiding her to know You God. We ask You for mercy on her since her birth. As she grows, lead her soul to proclaim You as her personal Savior. Last but not least, I lift Kyle up to you. Give him strength for this time of great anxiety. I know he might be real nervous:) Place your peaceful hand on him, so that he might wait patiently for his baby girl. Whatever the situation might You glorify yourself. Take care of them in this delicate moment. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

  116. Hi! My name is Sarah, mother of lovely 4 week old Ruby! I read your blog (obviously) and had a funny thing happen in the wee hours of March 8th. I was up nursing my little treasure and YOU kept coming to mind. I felt so weird and stalker-ish since I don't even know you! However, I just prayed for you, your husband and your little one in the hopes that the Spirit was bringing you to mind for a reason. Thank Jesus you are having that baby and I am not a freak!! :)

    Be blessed as you become a mother, fall in love with your precious baby as you look into her eyes, fall in love for the millionth time with your husband and the One who gave you these matchless gifts!

    Praying! SO excited for you!

    Sarah and Ruby~*
