Hudson Bradley’s Birth Story: Part 1

July 14th, 2016

I’m still a bit in shock that I have this story to write, with all of its uncertainties and unexpected turns, but God’s faithfulness is woven into all the details. He knew. He wasn’t surprised or shaken. He had us in His hands the entire time. So let’s rewind just a bit to the week …

Thoughts From The Bedside of the NICU

July 11th, 2016

Hudson Bradley Murray came unexpectedly and eventfully on June 22 at 10:01 am. It’s been a complete whirlwind ever since, and we are just now trying to find a rhythm after his arrival.

Just a few more weeks until this room won’t feel so incomplete!!!! All the details have come together so well, but there’s still something someone missing. Every time I go in it to put something away or just go in to take it in, the anticipation makes my heart skip a beat. We’re so so …

24 Week Bumpdate

March 31st, 2016

I can’t believe it’s been 4 weeks since our last “Bumpdate“. Second trimester is going smoothly so far! The biggest milestone we’ve hit so far happened this week – VIABILITY! If you haven’t experienced a high-risk pregnancy, you might be familiar with that term, but it’s a BIG DEAL. It means our baby could possibly …

18 Weeks Today! FINALLY we’re ready to reveal what we’ve known for the last 5 weeks! I know a lot of you are #TeamGirl. The boys have been strongly in favor of #TeamBoy for sure. We’ll let THEM tell you what we’re having. Here’s the video of them finding out if their sibling is a boy …
