Due Date: August 26, 2011.
Amnio to find out if EB or not EB: March 15, 2011
Results of amnio: April 2011
EPT result: December 21, 2010.
That means it will be over 3 months for us without knowing EB or no EB.
1 in 4 chance the baby will have EB.
Now you see why we are so passionate about funding this cure?
God night.
Congratulations. Praying really hard that this precious baby is one of the 3/4. Either way, this baby is sooooo lucky to have you and Angelique as parents, plus some amazing older sisters.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing an awesome job with your fundraising.
Your amazing spirit has been keeping me going as I struggle in Christchurch, New Zealand with our devastating earthquake. I read your blog daily and it reminds me to be strong, because you and family are so strong.
Wow!
Thanks, this news made my day,

What an amazing surprise!!! Congratulations to the Ringgold's family. Bella is smiling in Heaven. And you can see how proud Ali is!
ReplyDeleteIn my heart I know everything will be just fine! You and Ang are amazing parents. This Baby (Eb or no EB) will be so loved and cared.
And Tim, this time the odds are on your side! You have 75% chances of having an EB free baby! Concentrate your energy on this 75% instead of the 25%.
Lots of love,

Congratulations! Praying that your newest addition will be healthy ... know that he/she will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! This is SO strange! I asked my Facebook friends to donate by texting BELLA last night right as I went to bed. I was laying in bed, thinking of Bella and all of these sweet babies I read about. EB was on my mind, as it always has been this past year+. I was thinking about how strong and passionate you guys are about helping to get a cure. The thought came into my head wondering if you would be having another baby! I don't know why it popped into my head, as it never has before. You were probably writing this around the same time I was thinking it. I am so happy for you all. I will be praying this baby is EB free and praying that your nerves will be calm the next few months. What a blessing and a lucky little baby. =) God is good!
ReplyDeleteWith love,
Kristi in Castle Rock, CO
Congratulations! Praying for peace for you during this waiting period!

What a way to get the de-lurkers out!!
ReplyDeleteMuch love and peace for Ang, you and Ali at this very sacred time. I read this morning but had too many tears of joy to write anything...but enjoyed reading all the other wonderful prayers!
God bless you and your new blessing, Donna/NJ
Hows that to bring out your lurkers :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just giddy...have been since I was let in on the secret weeks ago. Its awesome.
praying for good news and a healthy baby brother...I had a dream it was a blue eyed brother, named Alexander.hows that for specific?
Lots of love from just down the street!

will pray for a healthy baby just like I prayed for healing for Bella. I am just wondering why you would take a 25% chance to bring a child into the world to possibly suffer? What steps will you take to protect precious Allie from the potential loss of another sibling?
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy for all of you! So happy that you all have each other and so happy that you have such amazing love for each other! I will continue to pray for all of you! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteTalk about bringing out the commenters! Woo-Hoo!! I am so excited for your family! I will be praying for a healthy, happy mom and baby!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I read daily, but rarely comment....I know that this baby is going to have the worlds best parents and 2 of the worlds greatest big sisters!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I am so happy for your family. I kinda thought you were going to tell us you were having a baby when you were posting about "exciting news to share" but that turned out to be your trip which you did not take. And the reason I thought this was there was a sweet photo of Ang posted prior to this and her tummy looked a little larger. I am soo happy for you.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously...chills & happy tears have taken over me! You haven't left my prayers...so I'll add on to them :) Praying that God's will be done and I have faith that all will be fine. Nevertheless, I will always be here for my FAB & FAV PARTY OF 5!!!! You know what's cool?...is that Bella's already met this little soul that we'll be meeting in August! Miss her more than ever and think about her daily. How's Ali? Over the moon, I'm sure!!!
ReplyDeleteyay yay!
xo always,
nicole
Oh my, I did not see this one coming :-). Congratulations Tim and Angelique! I am praying very hard that this baby is EB free, as I am sure you did even before you decided to take the big step. God bless!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tim, Ang, & Ali. You must be so excited. Lots of prayers for a healthy baby. Bella is smiling down on her esrth family. This baby will have her very own guardian angel.
ReplyDeleteLove & prayers

I missed the news but was SO excited to read it just now! As someone who has tried to have another child without success, I realize how perfectly planned by God, and how precious each life is! This is no accident. God has a purpose and a plan and I am so so thankful for this blessing He has given! I will join in to pray and anxiously await this child. EB or not, this child will be loved, blessed, and is a miracle just to be here. Ali will do just fine... you are amazing parents! Thanks for sharing your news and your journey! Much love from Texas! ~Michelle
ReplyDeleteYay! yes i'm another of the lurkers who still read but never comment anymore. Congrats!!! And I have to say that your amazing faith and trust in God, and Him knowing what's best for your family is amazing. I will pray everyday for your expanding family, and trust that He knows what's best for you guys.
