2nd chance/ 2da oportunidad

Amy and baby Lola are back home! Our mami is on stricked bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. Every day that passes is a blessing for us. To know that we were so close to loosing Lola makes us feel like we have a second chance to welcome her to this world. Every hour, every day has its challenges. We try not to think about making it through 10 weeks but making it through the day. We count every day as a blessing from our Father because He loves us.

Amy still has minor pressure and with all the medicine prescribed she is feeling better as the hours pass. She lays down all the time and is only allowed to use the bathroom for a few minutes. As you can imagine, this is going to be a slow process but hey, we are more than glad to go through it. Like Proverbs 21:31 reminds us, we are doing everything we can to prepare Lola for this world, but the outcome ultimately depends on our LORD. Victory belongs to the LORD.

Today was my first day at work thanks to our mother Laly who came to help us for the weekend. Also, we've had so much support from family, friends at Swiss Towers, friends at church, and friends out of state. Thanks to everyone for praying and we ask that you continue praying for Amy, Lola, Peyton, and Pablo.

Our prayer requests for Amy are: Patients/Endurance/Perseverance through bed-rest. That her body will adjust well to the numerous medicines she is taking. That she will be able to find quality time with Peyton in this new stage in life. And for God's provision and support during the next weeks.
For Peyton: That he would be able to understand why mami can not play with him on the floor. That he would adjust well to the new changes in his life. That we will continue to have help in taking care of him during this process.
For Lola: That she would grow healthy and strong for the next 10-12 weeks. That the Lord would protect her and keep her in the womb.
For Pablo: That the Lord will give him strength, energy, and wisdom in balancing home, family, school, and work. For guidance in preaching this Sunday afternoon.

We can not thank you enough for all your prayers.
And we are sure we could not have gone through this without the support of God.
For His glory and honor,

Pablo S. Paredes
