Well folks, I found out today that around the first of October, the West household will be blessed with a new addition!! :-) We are hoping for a girl, but of course we will be happy with another boy.

Congratulations John!

Our families prayers for health and safety will be with you and your wife.  After raising 5, I can still say they are a remarkable blessing.  But the grandkids are a bit more fun.

Have a Great Day,  Brent

Just want to thank everyone for the best wishes. This one will most likely be our last. Mama has had complications with the last ones (premature), but we feel good about this one.

Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 01-27-2009 23:02
jsut want you to have a happy healthy baby with 10 fingers 10 toaes and everything in place and nothing wrong on the inside i know you're a parent already just be very very careful weeks at a time in the hospital watching while you cant do nothing but pray really sucks.
Parent - - By jrw159 (*****) Date 01-28-2009 01:07
Brother, I know. The one we lost was born quite premature and it was very painfull to deal with at the time. Thank God, for him and us, that it did not drag out. My youngest boy was born premature and spent a month in an incubator. You sure can not tell it now though, he is full sized, and has my attitude. People are usually shocked to find out that he was a premature baby when they do not know us.
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 01-29-2009 15:07
well your not full grown yourself (heighth joke) lol so they will never be able to tell anyway lmao just picking on ya glad all is well with him
Parent - By jrw159 (*****) Date 02-02-2009 02:55

Update: :-(

I am sad to say that mama had what is called a false pregnancy. We went in for her first ultrasound two weeks ago, and they saw a fetal sack but no baby or heart beat. Next ultrasound, nothing. They said the body most likely consumed the fetal sack. She has started bleeding and cramping as of yesterday (probably more info than needed) and she goes in this week to see what will need to be done. Hopefully no DNC.

Thanks for the support guys. It is rough but we will survive. I can not put into words how much the support means to us. God has a reason for everything, although we may not see it.

Physicaly, yes, she is hurting mentaly but she will make it. She is a strong woman. Hell she has put up with me and my sh*t for going on 19 years or so. My oldest is 17. LOL That is alot of sh*t.
Parent - By preston davis (**) Date 03-10-2009 02:04
best wishes to you and family, thats gotta be rough.
Parent - - By jrw159 (*****) Date 03-10-2009 02:08
I would like to share something with everyone. My wife really had no idea what goes on here in this forum, and still does not fully understand. I showed it to her and what became quite clear to her with this thread is the true bond we all have. She gives me a hard time (playfully) about the time I spend here. Now she knows why.  Everybody in this thread has disagreed or saw something in a differant light at one point in time or another and we will again, but when the sh*t gets tuff here we all are.

I have tears in my eyes as I type these words,

THANK YOU ALL!!

John R. West

Hello John, it has been with a lot of sorrow that I read of your most recent happenings, yet it is great to see your strength and ability to persevere...... no surprise here though. I am sure that you will never forget all the hopes and dreams that have come to mind upon your initial news of fatherhood once again and then having those thoughts changed so abrubtly. Whether we accept or not, the sun rises and shines on a new day, I hope for a speedy recovery and acceptance of this situation so that you and your family can once again experience the happiness that comes with family. I wish you, your wife, and the rest of your family the ability to accept this situation and to move forward to enjoy all of the blessings that you do have. With humble regard, Allan
Parent - - By jrw159 (*****) Date 03-10-2009 11:55
Allan,
  Thank you for those kind words.

John
Parent - - By TimGary (****) Date 03-10-2009 12:13
Hang in there John, tomorrow is as brand new day.

Respectfully,
Tim
Parent - By arrowside (**) Date 03-10-2009 12:46
Every time something would go wrong for me, my mother would always say, " everything happens for a reason ". Man, hearing those words used to get under my skin when I was younger, but you know what? She is 100% correct. Keep your chin up, and every day that goes by, things will get a little bit better. Best wishes to you and your family.
