"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Psalm 37:4

Thank you so much for your sweet comments. To say we are excited would be a major understatement!! We are THRILLED!! It has been a long road for us, but God has had a plan for us all along that is even better than we can imagine! He has used our trials to bring us closer to Him...to let go...give it all to Him...and totally TRUST in Him! I had to let go of all my wanting and look at what He had already blessed me with - a great family, a precious little boy, a roof over my head. I had to say, "It's okay God, all I want is You." I learned a lot while participating in a great bible study - Wisdom for Mothers - one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Even now I am having to let go of my fears and anxiety from my past experiences and give it all to Him.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:6-7

We found out the good news on January 3. It was a big celebration, followed quickly by fear! We immediately told our parents and started praying. 3 plus months later, lots of ultrasounds, lots of prayers, and here we are - I'm feeling great!! My due date is September 8 and I cannot wait for the moment to meet this baby. I think I have a whole new appreciation of the miracle of life...and I can't wait to witness it again.

Because of my history and since we never really got any answers from our previous 2 losses, my doctor is following me very closely. In about 7 weeks I will start seeing my doctor every 3 weeks where I will have 3 different ultrasounds every visit. Toward the end of my pregnancy I will be seen twice a week - one time for an ultrasound, the other for a stress test. Please join us in praying for 3 specific things: (1) blood flow to the baby through the umbilical cord, (2) continued growth of the baby, and (3) adequate fluid levels. These are the three things all of this extra testing will be looking for. All of this just for precaution - not because these things will definintely be problems. We know that God is in control, and that He already knows the outcome of all this. We pray that the baby will continue to thrive and that we will get to meet this precious blessing in September.

We had our big ultrasound last Thursday and we are having...a precious little baby boy!!! God is so good!! We are thrilled that Warner will have a little brother to grow up with.

Now the fun begins...
