Last Thursday, January 21, I received confirmation of a most wonderful gift: John and I are parents! My dollar store pregnancy test worked once again to confirm that we have someone Very Special growing in my womb. We are excited, ecstatic, overwhelmed, overjoyed, shocked, and so very pleased. It is still hard to grasp the reality of it all, despite my overwhelming tiredness and need to eat 24/7! My due date is October 4: a date I keep in mind so I have an answer when people ask, but try not to cling to, since I know our baby could arrive earlier or later.
There is a small shadow in our happiness. This is not my first pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at my 10th week so we know how fragile everything is. God has brought so much hope and healing, some of which I posted on my Babies for Heaven blog.
So, the journey begins!
