Our Miracles

It wasn't until Paige was born that Pat and I truly understood what a miracle a human life is.  It's a beautiful thing!  Our Paige was a miracle and she brought us so much happiness and joy in her few short days.  The love we have for sweet Paige can never be replaced.  On April 10, Pat and I found out that we would be receiving yet another miracle!  Yes, that's right... I'M



We are absolutely thrilled and overwhelmed with happiness.  Of course there are a lot of emotions and feelings that we will feel throughout this pregnancy.  I am just about 13 weeks along and feeling pretty well.  Baby Steinhoff #2 is due December 16!  We like to think of it as a little Christmas present from our Paige.  There is not a doubt in my mind that my baby girl is playing a part in all of this.  I know she's watching out for her baby brother or sister.  I went to the doctor this morning and our little wiggle worm looks great!  He/She is very active, of course I can't feel movement yet, but I sure can't wait to feel that first kick.  Here is a picture of our little miracle from this morning...

We are asking for 2 specific prayer requests...

1.  Please pray that this baby is healthy and continues to grow strong.
2.  Please pray for our strength throughout this pregnancy.  We are extremely nervous and we are            doing our best to stay calm.  We're aksing God to keep us strong and faithful thoughout this pregnancy.

...there is no other GOD who is able to deliver like this.

    YIPPEE! I could not be happier for you. The prayers are started and will continue. You are being well taken care of not everyone has a personal angel in heaven. As your Mother says "Holy, healthy and happy". Finally, this time the tears are of joy for you all.

    The Fleschman family couldn't be more excited for you both! When I told the girls, Olivia started jumping up and down, and Zoe teared up and said, " I know God blessed her with this baby, because God knew that this is what Mrs. Steinhoff needed right now." I know that Paige is an excited big sister as she gets to watch her parents raise your 2nd child. Our prayers are with you through this pregnancy.
