That's right everyone. We will have a baby on Thursday (if not before). We went for our weekly visit and Ginny had progressed to the stage where they want to go ahead and induce on Thursday (July 20). We are super excited and cannot wait to meet her or him. We've got names, we've got a babyseat, and we've got candy bars for me to stuff down my throat in hopes of warding off fainting.
We would appreciate your continued prayers and anxiously await the culmination of many petitions to our Lord.
Many folks (in close proximity) have asked what we want them to do in regards to visiting us at the hospital. We want everyone to know that we would love to see them, however, with this birth comes many unknown circumstances, and our wishes will be determined by the outcome.
All that ambiguity to say...we would love for anyone to come to the hospital that wants to- just understand that seeing us or the baby is not guaranteed. While we would love to share our newest addition with everyone, we may need some time to ourselves.
Thanks for joining in our excitement for the miracle that is this baby.
Updates will follow:)

Yippee, Yippee! What we've waited for for so long is about to happen. Can't wait to finally meet baby mooney. Ginny, I'm sure you will look just as beautiful in labor as you have your ENTIRE pregnancy. Love to you three and I will see you at the hospital.

Hey,
I have been checking your blog daily to read any updates you have posted, so I was so excited to get the news! As I try to put myself in your shoes, I can't imagine the wide range of emotions you are having. I think about the three of you so often and will be anxiously awaiting news from the birth.
You will be in my prayers all day tomorrow and in the coming days. I have been blessed by your honesty and willingness to share this time with anyone who wanted to be apart of it. Thank you for sharing this intimate time with me. In some strange way I feel connected to you both in a new way. I miss you both and love you so much! Enjoy the birth of your first child!

Ginny, Matt & Elliot
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most precious time in your lives. I know God's will is all we are to ask for but my heart tells me that Elliot will prove to be one of God's strongest testimonies to His power and His love. I thank you for sharing your faith and His strength during this time. Love to All, Mrs. Dianne
Three cheers for the Mooney family! Heather gave me the play by play throughout the day yesterday and we were THRILLED to learn of Eliot's arrival (sweet name for a sweet baby). We are just praising the Lord for the time He has given you together and know you are soaking up every moment. Our hearts are with you three! Much love and constant prayers, Jenny Beth (and family)
Congratulations Matt and Ginny!! Welcome Baby Elliot! I can't wait to see pictures of this precious baby boy (p.s. I knew it was a boy Ginny!:)) We are still in constant prayer for ya'll.
Love, Brooks & Jess(and the rest of the Howard family)
Matt & Ginny,
Just as God created the heavens and the earth, so has He partnered with you to create Elliot..For HIS Glory.. In HIS Image...Can you imagine the love God has for Elliott to entrust him with Godly parents such as you? Can you imagine the love God has for you to entrust you with a baby boy such as Elliot? One day the truth will be fully known, the veil will be lifted, and we WILL stand amazed!
Continue to press on and know that there is a great cloud of witnesses in heaven and here on earth cheering you on...interceding on your behalf...and willing to stand in the gap for you!
Carpe diem, Mr. Don
Hello,Mooney family! please know that we continue to pray for you and are spreading the news of this precious little boy's birth-May God continue to bless you with His peace, faith and love.
Love to all, Mrs. Olivia
Ginny and Matt,
God can truly perform miracles, and may have already performed some through the witness that the two of you have been to many others. May he make each day precious with your new one, and may he give y'all strength and peace.I will continue to pray. Love to you both, Lynn Thom
Ginny and Matt, It has been amazing to follow God's plan for Elliot. Aunt Amy has kept us posted and we have petitioned God based on your specific needs. We know that He holds you in His hands right now and His strength will sustain you. Take care of yourselves and try to rest when you can. The body can do much with little sleep and strong faith. We will continue to pray for that strength. We love you all, stephanie thornton
would someone who has information on Matt, Ginny and Elliot please email me and let me know what the situation is. I live in St. Louis and am not in contact with anyone that would know, but I think of them all the time.
