The question we are most often asked over the past 8 months, is "Do you have a name for the baby?" And always the answer has been "not yet". We have had a boy name for 13 years and never the need to use it. However, somehow the name did not seem right anymore. Since our girls are old enough to have strong opinons about names, we solicited their input. It wasn't exactly a democratic process, but after much debate from all four members of our family, we have finally agreed on a name for our new little one! Nolan Alexander Zuckero will arrive into this world on August 27th (unless God has plans for him to come sooner). My doctor's appointment this week went well. Nolan's little heartbeat is still strong and he is expected to weigh around 4 pounds at birth. Only 12 more days until we get to meet him face to face!!!

We can't wait for you to meet baby Nolan Alexander!!! What a strong, beautiful name! He and your family are in our prayers nightly.

Nolan comes from a name that means "champion" or "chariot fighter". Alexander appears in the Bible as the one who helps Jesus bear the cross on the journey to Calvary. What a strong name and both of them put together makes for a beautiful picture....fighting to live and serve the Lord. Beautiful. In Him, Karen

Karen, Troy and girls,
Love the name. Just wanted to let you know that we loved having the girls down these last two weeks. The kids had a great time with their cousins and we hope to see you all soon.
Your all in our prayers daily and you know that we are there for you all whenever you need us.
Love,
Cheryl, Dale, Jessie and Dalton
I have you on my mind and continue to pray for you, Troy, Brittany, Brianna, and Nolan each day. Wish I could be there to welcome him to the family.
Much love and prayers,
Barbara
Since I am not always so great with words of encouragement, I have been looking through a prayer book this afternoon to find a prayer that would ask God for courage, guidance and protection.
I found so many that I liked and silently prayed them and marked quite a few to perhaps send you, but finally settled on this one by Patrick of Ireland.
" May the strength of God pilot us.
May the power of God preserve us.
May the wisdom of God instruct
us.
May the hand of God protect us.
May the way of God direct us.
May the shield of God defend us."
Barbara
Just stopping by this afternoon to let you know you are in my prayers as you prepare to meet Nolan Alexander this coming Wednesday. May your joy be full and the Lord watch over all of you as you meet this little boy.
Love, Laurie in Ca.
Zuckeros,
We continue to pray for Nolan and your whole family. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers constantly on Wednesday. I hope the girls are ready for a great school year.
Love,
Cousin Monica
I am not sure as to what to say besides my heart and prayers go out to you, your family and baby Nolan.
I read about your story from Troy's message here at work and although I don't personally know your family I am very close to mine and send all of my love to you and yours.
Your whole family is beautiful and I am sure Nolan will be just the same.
God be with you.
-Crystal
Troy and Karen (and family), I feel encouraged reading your story. Thank you for being honest and real and for continuing to believe in the goodness and love of the Lord. I am so sorry to read about Nolan's health. My wife, two-year-old son, and I will be praying for you. Thank you for sharing your story and for your faithfulness. Sincerely, Justin
Thinking of ya'll and wish I was there to meet my new great nephew on Wednesday.
Barbara
Troy and Karen,
My prayers will be with all of you and especially this Wednesday. We can't always have the answers we search for and God only knows the answers. I can see by reading Troy's email that your faith is very strong and it will carry all of you through the worst of times and the best of times. The arrival of a new baby is a blessing and no matter what, it is still a blessing. I will tell you that 49 years ago when my mom had my sister, the doctors didn't expect much. She was born with Down Syndrome and she has led a fairly healthy life.
We are all made in God's own image and your baby is a blessing in disguise.
My thoughts and prayers, always.
VB
Nolan Alexander Zuckero is truly blessed to have such wonderful and loving parents. Whatever path God has made for you, I know that little Nolan will always feel happy and secure surrounded by your intense love for him, and his life is a precious gift that you will always treasure. God bless you!
-Lance

I will pray especially for you and Nolan Alexander on Wednesday.You are in my thoughts often and I loved seeing pictures of your family.

Our hearts are heavy, and we are so sorry to hear this news from Troy's email this morning.
As we read through this blog, the tremendous amount of love and support that surrounds your family is truly amazing and awe inspiring to us.
We too will be praying for precious baby Nolan and his beautiful family.
"He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord."
- Karen and Daniel B
