Well here we are...you found us! We are finally heading down to UCLA to have our little Lincoln Michael Carter. Kristen is scheduled to be induced on June 11th....that is, if he doesn't decide to come earlier on his own timing! We are excited to see what God has instore for us and this little guy...and...very nervous also, as you can imagine. We just don't know what to expect when he enters this world. There are so many "what if's?"....so many "I dunno's?"....so much fear. Questions we can only leave in the safety and protection of God's big hands! We are so scared of the unknown...so nervous because of the past...BUT, God is Faithful, Sovereign, Just, Big and He knows....He just knows. For now we try to rest (ya right!) and try to contemplate the huge honor and joy it is to be parents again.
We invite you all to be part of Lincoln's life as his journey unfolds and we see God's work. Kristen and I will update his blog daily with pictures and updates of his condition and activity. Feel free to leave comments on this blog site or email us. This is how we will keep in contact with all of our loved ones as it will be a blessing to hear from you too! Until then...To God be all the Glory, Honor and Praise! We love you all! Josh & Kristen

Josh, Kristen, & Lincoln,
Terri, Matthew, and I will be keeping the three of you in our prayers. After Matthew’s two heart surgeries we were reluctant to try for more children. Your faith and courage has been an inspiration to us. We can’t wait to meet Lincoln. Maybe the boys can compare scars! Take care of yourselves. We will check in often for updates.
Love,
Mike King
Dear Josh & Kristen,
I hope you know how special you guys are to Randy & I and how much we treasure your friendship. It will be our honor to lift you all up in prayer during this time of "unknowns". It is such an encouragement to me to see that your faith is strong and you are trusting the Lord to take control of the future of your family. We love you guys and look forward to meeting Lincoln very soon!!
Love,
Melissa
Wow, the time that once seemed so distant is already here. You already know how much your friendships mean to the both of us. You guys inspire us with your child-like faith in the Lord, your perserverance through the past trials, and your patience through each difficult step. We're praying for God's hand to be evident to all who are invloved, and ultimate wisdom of the doctors. We are excited to meet Lincoln and see you guys as parents soon.
Love,
The Doswalds
you guys rock on. Be encouraged that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many, and you are definitely on the mind and heart of God. Hope to see all of you soon.

Dear Josh & Kristen, my prayers for you and little Lincoln are added to the prayers of many others. Be encouraged to hope in God's perfect plan for you all. Theron
I received an email from a friend asking we pray for you, you will be in our prayers that God will sustain you thorough this time.
Hey! I don't know you guys personally, but wanted to post and let you know you will be in my prayers and I will bring this before the Well Care Team to hold up in prayer. May God give you peace that passes all understanding during these uncertin times. Know that your Well Family will be there for you! The Care Team will be praying for wisdom, safe delivery for Kristen and Lincoln, and strength & peace for Josh as he guides his family the next couple of weeks and beyond. Hope to meet you both and little Lincoln too sometime soon!!!
