Expecting...

Then:March 2nd 2005
Now:August 2nd 2007
I don't know how He designed us so perfectly...? Or how He chose this way to bring life into the world...? But I am thankful.

My husband and I found out this month, that I am expecting baby #2! I can't feel the baby yet, but it's a wonderful "feeling" to know you are pregnant- that God has blessed you once again with the gift, challenge, responsibility and journey of carrying another life with in.

My last journey started around the same time, three years ago...The end of the journey came before anyone thought and led us down a path I did not think I would pass on. My son, as most of you know, came 8 weeks earlier then "expected". Weighing only 3lbs 15oz. He was a tiny peanut, with a full head of dark hair. He was/is amazing! And to think he grew and was formed inside of me?!? Most men would never wish to be pregnant, because there is a lot of other "stuff" that comes with it; back pain, sleepless nights, vomiting, nausea, and the list goes on- and this is all before the birth and delivery :)

There were a lot of complications with Jotham's pregnancy and delivery, I never got to hold him right after he was born (or even the first, second or third day). But I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on him- I was there watching him take his first breath, his first scream and first movement out of the womb! And that my friends makes all the other painful memories fade into oblivion.

Being a mom, is something I would never change!



Thank you Lord, for this great gift and responsibility of bearing and raising up children. Amen.
