The Hutch Nuggets

My good friend Kendra and her hubby Clayton were expecting twins in late June. We have all be so excited for them and I have been extra excited since I found out I was pregnant because now all our babies will be able to hang out when we get together! I say they "were" expecting twins in June because sometimes the unexpected sneaks up on us. The twins arrived on Sunday, March 20th at 3:33am. Keagan Helen and Clayton Eric (CJ) came into the world via emergency c-section after Kendra had been having some very painful abdominal pain that they later found was contractions and her uterus rupturing.

I am posting this to ask for prayers. During my pregnancy I have hit a few milestones. After 8 weeks your risk of miscarriage decreases significantly and after 12 even more. I am 2 days shy of 13 weeks which means another milestone is right around the corner, the second trimester. As each day passes I get less and less paranoid and feel more and more excited and safe. My little squirt is hanging out comfortably in my belly and I can keep him or her safe. What I never considered was that sometime between now and September my little baby could make an early appearance. I don't think we ever really consider those things. When you have a normal pregnancy you just assume that things will go on day to day and in 280 days you will have a baby. No one thinks that they will have their baby after 175 days. I have been reminded, yet again, that this is all in someone else's hands. I can follow every rule in the book and eat the right things and drink the right things and get the right amount of exercise and that could mean nothing. In the end, God has a plan bigger then ours. I am not sure what is plan for my baby yet, but I hope and pray whatever it is I will trust in Him.

So my request today is that if you read this take 2 minutes at the end and say 2 prayers. One for CJ and one for Keagan. Pray that they are strong little ones and they continue to fight. They have quite the road ahead but I know their mommy and daddy and I am SURE they are going to be fighters through and through. Pray for the doctors and nurses that God will guide them and be with them as they care for the twins and that those little miracles will feel God's healing through the hands of their caregivers. Pray for Kendra and Clayton, that they will also feel God's arms wrapping their little family up and calming their fears. Pray for the new Grandma and Grandpa Ryl and Grandma Hutchinson that they are able to offer support to their kids and new grandbabies. And finally remember to thank God for all of the blessings in your own life. I am sure Kendra and Clayton are thankful for their newest little addition, the Hutchinson Nuggets. I know when my little squirt gets he or she will be so blessed to have CJ and Keagan to share toys with at our many Augie family gatherings.

Much love and prayers to the Hutchinson family!!
