And the wait starts

Hi All,

Well, On Monday morning at about 3h30 the contractions started again so we went back on the drip. They've managed to suppress the contractions again and now we're just waiting to see what will happen. They took me off the drip at 10h00 this morning, so by tomorrow we'll either be on our way home or be proud parents of a very tiny baby boy. Thank you so much for all the sms's, e-mails and encouraging words. We appreciate everyone's prayers and ask that you please keep little baby Caden in your thoughts. Will let you know what's happening as soon as we hear anything.

Lots of love

Hi Caden,
Dis tye soos hierdie wat ek nie woorde het nie en net stil voor God is en weet sy genade neem nou oor.
Nou ja, sien jou dan more!

Dearest Caden
We are all praying for you, our little angel. We know what the Lord has planned for you and we pray that He will embrace you in His loving tender care and that He will guide the hands that work with you and your mom tomorrow. May the Lord be with you tomorrow as you enter this world and shower you with His love and care. The Lord takes care of all his sheep no matter how big or how small.
God Bless you, your Mom and your Dad.
Lots of love
Gramps, Gran and everybody in Cape Town.

Dearest Elriza and Wesley,

Know that we are praying for you both and for the safe arrival of your precious son Caden. Be assured that God keeps ALL his promises to us. I will light a candle for Caden in the morning on his birth day and will say regular prayers that our Saviour Lord Jesus works through the hands of your entire medical team and that His healing, loving and gentle hands embrace you all. My calendar's inspiration for Caden's special day (20/08/2008) is as follows:

"You are the God who performs miracles; You display your power among the peoples"

Psalm 77:14

You have personally witnessed a miracle in our lives with our precious Deqlan, so be assured God's miracles are indeed alive and evident to all. Our God WILL work a miracle for you if He needs to. May God pour over you, Wesley, Caden and your whole family, His perfect peace, His immaculate love and joy, His eternal faith and mercy, and His immeasurable protection. Fear not for God is with you, all the days of your life.

You are a very special person and my loving thanks to you for all your love, support, and encouragement during Deqlan's challenging path, and during Keaton's time in NICU at Unitas. We have activated an "army of prayer" for you and your precious son now and rest in the true faith and knowledge that all that happens is part of God's plan for us.

Lots of love,

Bev Bourne

Nanna of Deqlan and Keaton

Dearest Elriza, Wes and Caden,

Date of inspiration message in my previous post this evening should read 20/02/2008 and not read the eighth month as stated, but inspiration remains correct for Caden's birth day tomorrow, 20th February 2008. Must be this "old brain" misfiring again. Apologies and lots and lots of love.

Dear Wes, Reezie and Caden,
I cannot thank the Lord enough for delivering Caden safely into our family. Words cannot express my emotions and elation. Our Lord is always there for all of us and never lets our prayers go unanswered. We will continue to pray for you all and we ask that the Lord keeps Caden safely in the palm of His hand and close to His heart that he may grow from strength to strength and be of great joy and pleasure to you.
Caden, you made your great-aunt Lynette and great-uncle Grant very proud today by arriving of the celebration of their 26th anniversary. They could not have wished for a greater gift and are absolutely over the moon.
God Bless you, our little angel, we love you and will be seeing you soon. God will keep watch over you every second of every day.
Lots of love, hugs and kisses
Gran and Gramps and all the family and friends in Cape Town.

Dear Caden Matthew Paul,
You've made monkeys of us all!
We thought you would delay
And only come in May

But now that you are here
We shed a silent tear
But they were tears of joy
We LOVE you, little boy!!!
