Our little Eli

We are getting really close now to the coming of our little Eli. We have been making preperations for his birth and his passing. His due date is Jan 31st however most likely he will go over his due date and might have to be induced. So the next two weeks is when to expect him. He has been measuring about 4 weeks smaller than normal babies. However he has a very strong heart and we hope that that might give him the extra strength to survive the birth. He's very active and seems to be enjoying his little body for this short period. We are very excited to see him and very nervouse and sad at the same time for when we will have to say good bye. Elliott has been working on making his casket and I made a couple of beanies and his blessing/burial outfit with a blanket. It's been nice to have the time to do these things for him and to have some time to prepare ourselves mentally and spiritually. We are so happy to have Eli apart of our family.
