Due to pregnancy complications, Ashley has been in the hospital for 30 days. She will be in the hospital till Lorelai comes, which could be up to 10 weeks, at which point they would induce labor at 34 weeks. She had surgery 2 weeks ago after a week in the hospital to stop preterm labor, and then shortly after her water broke. She is currently 24 weeks pregnant and our biggest prayer is that Lorelai will stay in as long as possible!

Once she comes, Lorelai will be in the NICU and they’ll be traveling daily to Nashville to see her, most likely up until January.

Their extra expenses will be food, gas, medical bills, and an eventual possible reduction of pay for Keaton.

Ashley and Keaton share this message with you all:

Thank you all so much for your prayers over the past month, and we appreciate your prayers for the future. It’s been a really hard month with so many unknowns with Lorelai, and being separated from Ryman. However both of us feel an enormous amount of peace and can truly see God working in this situation.

Before we even knew Lorelai was going to be a girl, Ashley asked the Lord for a name for our double rainbow baby. He gave her the name Lorelai Hope - and little did we know just how meaningful her middle name would come to mean. We have hope in the Lord and hope for our girl! It’s already such a miracle that she is still with us, and we truly feel all the prayers. Thank you all for your love and support.
